Hello;
I'm looking for a video framegrabber PMC module with RS-170 input,
RS-170/RGB output, and Linux driver. I'm considering boards from both
Visicom (VigraVision) and Radstone (GA-2), but they have no Linux
drivers. Any ideas?
Thank you,
-Mike

I've got a Dell Inspiron 8000 running Mandrake 8.0.
You can get details of my procedure and problem at nedharvey.com but here's 
what it's about:

By default, the pcmcia doesn't work on this laptop.  If you insert a pcmcia 
card, the whole system instantly crashes.

So I download the newest package and install it.
Now, when I reboot, insert the pcmcia card, the system doesn't crash, but 
the card doesn't work properly.

Then, I install the package for a second time, and reboot, and the card 
works perfectly.  ...  BUT, the sound gets a little messed up.  (Details 
below).

Ordinarily, with a problem like this, you'd think that there's a problem 
with irq's or something.  So to test this theory, I disabled the pcmcia 
package entirely.  (remove /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S09pcmcia)
Of course, pcmcia doesn't start, but the sound is unaffected.  still messed 
up.

This suggests that the problem is not with the pcmcia itself, but with the 
installer -- that during the part when it calls depmod or the like, it 
changes something for the sound modules.  Unfortunately, that's a subject 
that I don't fully understand.

Now, the details of what's wrong with the sound:
It can only play one sound at a time.  So on startup, the startup sound 
plays, and tricks me into thinking that sound works.  But then I do 
something else, like play a video game, and suddenly it's obvious that it's 
messed up.

Finally...
I do keep regular backups of my system, so if anybody has a suggestion for 
some files to compare, I have both the before-version and the after-version.

Thanks for the tip. (Thanks to Steve and Sebastian as well).
Unfortunately I've tried everything in the manual and it hasn't
worked.
Meanwhile I've integrated a "alsasound restart" into the kdestart
script, reinstalling the sound card driver with each kde-start.  For
this I regret having had to extend execution privileges to all for
insmod--certainly not very pretty.  Not a good solution at all, but
till something better turns up, it'll have to do.

I am planning on buying a Linksys PCMPC200 Integrated Cardbus
PCMCIA card (since I want to move up from the 10 MBPS 3COM 3c509 PCMCIA
card I have now.

I am running RedHat 7.0 and the only reason for the upgrade is to move
up to a 100 MBPS networking speed.

I would really like to hear:
1. Is this Linksys PCMPC200 well supported in RH7
2. If you have used it, how satisfied have you been
3. Can I expect 100 MBPS or 200 MPBS (duplex) using this card - I have
a LAn at home with 2 m/cs. The other m/c has RH 6.2 and 2 100 MBPS
cards (an Intel Ether Express Pro/100+ and a SMC RealTek 8139 with the
SMC card connecting out over cable modem.

My existing PCMCIA card is a 10 MBPS and I have felt it is the
bottleneck for LAN communications.

Before buying the new card I would like to know whether I can expect
100 MBPS performance with the new card.

Any idea what is a reliable way to test whet

Hi. I'm wondering if Anyone knows how to get this error to go away when 
ripping a cd with cdparanoia or cdda2wav:(in debian GNU/linux)

When i had Slackware installed, the error still existed, but did not print
to console. it went to the syslogs, but left my console feeling clean and
dry. *chuckle*  Anyway, does anyone know how to make it not report like
that? I know it's not a syslog thing, cuz that happens even when the syslog
daemon isn't running, and when the klogd daemon isn't.

Any suggestions?

Subject: Linux on a Laptop
Date: Fri, 12 May 2000 07:00:08 GMT

I recently installed Linux Mandrake on my Advent
7240 laptop.  Problem is that the display only
covers a square about as big as halp the screen.

As a consequence, all the windows are too big for
the screen.  I assume this is a video card
problem.  My card is listed under Win98 as an SMI
Lynx, but using this driver just crashes Linux
altogether.

I have found that my Video card is actually an
SMI SM910 Graphics Accelerator (4Mb).  Is there
any support for this card or any way of solving
my problem ?  I would be happy to switch to
another version of Linux if this would solve my
problem.

Thanks.

Hi,

if a new Athlonbox here with ASUS K7M, Athlon 750MHz and a IBM DJNA 20GB
drive. With SuSe 6.4 EIDE-Kernel 2.2.14 or a new compiled 2.2.14 I
wasn't able to get (U)DMA working. I always get the following messages:

 kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
 kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
 
 kernel: hda: DMA disabled
 kernel: ide0: reset: success

I inserted 'hdparm -d1 /dev/hda' and 'hdparm -X66 /dev/hda' in my
/sbin/init.d/boot.local and just after booting and before the ide reset
I can see that the DMA is turned on (and it should be in UDMA 66
according to dmesg).

As I want to use Reiserfs I need the SuSE Kernel sources (I tried to
patch the 2.2.15 Kernel with Reiser AND Hendricks ide patch without
success)

Does anybody have this combination running or has an idea what I could
do?

With Ugate and Webramp you need to plug in a hub or switch
and buy or rent the DSL modem, so figure the extra cost. Here is
one with 4-port hub and ADSL modem built-in for $699, which
is adding $350-$400 for an SDSL modem and 4-port hub--

There is no reason linux-gateway-on-a-floppy has to use X for
remote or local configuring without a terminal attached. X-
required is unix-only. If that floppy had a gawk script listening
as an http server, it would serve the config forms to a browser on
the local net, just the same as Ugate and Rampnet Webramp. It
takes a patch to make gawk do tcp. I've been playing with it,
ripping stock quotes from yahoo, getting a menu of sodas from
soda machines, ripping site index.html. gawk does tcp and
http and it's far smaller than java, so router-on-a-floppy
with html config is just waiting to be done.

gawk as a simple http server:

http://home.t-online.de/home/Juergen.Kahrs/inet.html#SEC8

I probably shouldn't say this, but gawk is available for
windows , so the same gawk script serving browse-able config
forms would run on a windows-gateway-on-a-floppy, uh, better
make that a CD. Ugate and Webramp have SRAM vdrives.

Someone said windows 98 and NT can have IP aliasing
software running on a PC that does other things. It's
**much safer** to have a dedicated gateway/firewall and
connect users to that.

The Zoltrix cards may also work; I had one for $99 wired for tuner/composite/
s-video inputs; tuner sound on a jack, not through the chip.

Note - the Bt848 and similar chips support 4 composite video inputs
plus one chroma. With appropriate connectors you can switch between 
4 composite video, or 3 composite video and 1 S-video, or 3 video and
one TV-tuner etc.

Not all boards connect all the Bt848 inputs. I recently had a Hauppauge Win-TV
which only connects one composite video and 1 tuner; it uses the 
backpanel space for two audio jacks. I added a couple of 0.1uf chip
capacitors and 75R terminator resistors and phono jacks to give
3 composite video input plus TV; I may unhook the tuner and allow 4 video,
or build/buy some kind of external video multiplexer to switch more than 4.
I gather that some commercial units allow up to 16 inputs with switch/PinP/
montage and RS232 control, but a bit pricy. 
You need to enhance the card type selector
code in the bttv driver to enable the extra multiplexer inputs - not
too tricky, really - mail me if interested.
