Forgive me.  I know _nothing_ about Power Management resources.
What kind of resouces would PM use to interfere with the mouse.
FYI I have power management turned off in my BIOS and in the kernel
I have CONFIG_APM and ONLY  CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF.
How does that compare with the rest of you?

Maybe you don't understand.  We only have 18 employees!
I am the ONLY person active on the net thru this connection.
I stated this in a prior message.
Yes that is how I do it.  As a matter of fact I just got another
piece of spam that was probably relayed thru a .br domain today
because I took it out of my blacklist.

That didnt take much time, eh?

  Just to add a datapoint to the discussion, I'm using a VIA

  2.2.18 kernel with Andr's patches and I'm only using IDE
  (UDMA/66 and UDMA/33 here) and I'm *not* seeing any problems.
 
 
 BTW, are you having any trouble with your ps/2 mouse port in X?  On my new
 ASUS board, ps/2 mouse devices (just in X, gpm works fine) act a little
 crazy (random mouse movement, random clicking, etc., except I'm not the
 one doing all the random movement).  I'm not sure what it is, though I do
 know it's not as bad once I upgraded from 2.2.18pre21 to 2.4.0.  I think
 I'm going to try using the mouse as a usb device and see if I still have
 trouble.  Anyway, just wondering if you're seeing the same problem.

I have the ASUS CUV4X.
VIA vt82c686a (cf/cg) IDE UDMA66 controller on pci0:4.1
I also run DMA66 with no problems here.

I never have seen any issues with the PS/2 mouse and X.
I use the Logitech cordless wheel mouse.  I use the "MouseManPlusPS/2"

I acquired a VIA Mobo (ASUS CUV4X) for home and it is workin pretty damn
spiffy with Linux - Even better with 2.4.0 with regards to IDE!!!
Once a month I boot WinDOS to play a game I can't play in Linux, THEN
my troubles begin!!!

Burning CD-R's:  dumping alot of Old Time Radio programs to CD-R

Philadelphia Orchestra playing Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake to eventually burn to 
audio CD and create mp3's.  :-)
Once in a while xingmp3enc for Linux.

I recorded a 200Mb wav file and tried to edit it.  Xwave gobbled up all my swap 
before bringing up a dialog box - out of memory...  My cdburn failed, had to 
start over...
I just closed xwave  I did not reboot yet and am getting these messages.

Oops 2.2.17 and 2.0.37pre10 - same machine

2001-01-04 Thread John O'Donnell

I am trying to install Slackware Linux.
I boot the 2.2.17 from slackware-current series
I fdisk /dev/hda1 as 128MB Swap and /dev/hda2 as root.
I run mkswap -c -v1 /dev/hda1 - it chugs and finishes...
I run swapon /dev/hda1 and I get an oops!

This is a brand new machine.
PIII 800 (133Mhz bus)

I thought it might have something to do with the IDE drive or controller.
I installed a trusty Adaptec 2940AU and a Seagate 4G drive.  Same thing?!?!
So it is not the drives or controllers...
For kicks I put in a Slackware 3.9 (kernel 2.0.37pre10) cd I had next to me.
Boot.   fdisk - partitions ok.
mkswap -c -v0 /dev/sda1
Oops.

Can anyone help me?  I have scoured the BIOS for any flaky settings.
I can see none.  helpp.  :-)

With Slackware and kernel upgrades this is a regular procedure with me

Oh my, I am SO glad someone else noticed this!  I was not going to say 
anything because I thought _I_ was crazy.  I burnt out my CPU yesterday 
in a nasty experiment (don't ask!) and had to go out and buy a new 
MB/CPU.  I bought the ASUS CUV4X with sound.  Lo and behold it has the 
VIA VT82C686A audio.  I get my new system running just great, load this 
driver, then go do my favorite pastime:  Frag in Unreal Tournament for 
Linux!  Man was the sound delayed!  I tried 4 Front's driver too with 
the same results which made me think that this setup really sucked!

I am all set to put a Creative 128 in the system and I stumbled onto

 It didn't always do this, and when it started happening i assumed it
 was either something bad in esd or xmms (which i tend to upgrade a
 lot). However it still happens when esd is disabled. eg, i use mpg123

 if i SIGSTOP mpg123, asmixer immediately becomes responsive again and
 implements the pending volume change, as soon i SIGCONT mpg123,
 asmixer becomes very unresponsive again.
 
 same thing with esd, if i STOP mpg123, other apps like esd and
 non-esd mixers become responsive, soon as i start playing again they
 go unresponsive.
 
 same thing with playing from esd applications, everything inlcuding
 the playing app itself (eg xmms) is unresponsive, if i STOP it, the

YUP- Almost 2.2.18

2000-12-11 Thread John O'Donnell

Alan,
I was trying to re-install my VMware with the latest 2.2.18 kernel.
It failed to try to re-compile the modules.


What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your 
running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

The directory of kernel headers (version 2.2.17) does not match your 
running
kernel (version 2.2.18). Consequently, even if the compilation of the 
module wassuccessful, the module would not load into the running kernel.
---

Upon inspection of /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
it plainly says 2.2.17   I changed it to 2.2.18 and all is well.
