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. -- From: "jormungandr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RedHat 7.1 sur Compaq Deskpro Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 17:19:07 +0200 Bonjour Je désire installer le RedHat 7.1fr sur mon (vieux) Compaq Deskpro XL 133.

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).

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. -- Deniable unless digitally signed Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada Tel. +1 (604) 222-7376 http://andrew.triumf.ca/andrew -- From: "Jeff Shultz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Crossposted-To: comp.os.linux.setup,comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc,comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc Subject: Re: Best Data internal modem (was LT Winmodem?)
