I assume you are referring to the precompiled ghostscript 5.50 (rpm?)
found on Alladin's ghostscript website. I don't think it has the
stcolor driver (based on the fact that it doesn't show up in the list
in the printtool). However, I do think it has the uniprint driver
(based on the fact that there are a bunch of *.upp files in the
directory /usr/share/ghostscript/5.50/). To see if the uniprint
driver is there, try:
gs @stc600pl.upp -sOutputFile=/dev/lp1 tiger.ps -c quit &
where tiger.ps is in the 5.50/examples directory I think.
I'm using gs 5.10, found on red hat site, which has stcolor and
uniprint drivers compiled in.
If you want to use the uniprint driver, you should check out
http://www.u.arizona.edu/~zdw/uniprint.html. The process outlined
(which I followed) is to 1) set up dummy printer(s) using the printtool
(i.e., select any printer out of the list), 2) edit the file
/var/spool/lpd/lp/postscript.cfg for the appropriate uniprint device,
3) edit file /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/ps-to-printer.fpi to handle
uniprint notation. Away you go.
Advice:
- Set up three print spools: low => stc600pl.upp, medium =>
stc600p.upp, high => stc600ih.upp, for various print quality.
- Try out some of the other device files as well. The stc500*.upp
files work way better for me (on an Epson 640 not 600 though).

Keyboards, at least, just simply work (mostly), *if* they work in your BIOS.
I just picked up a USB Microsoft egronomic keyboard (because (1) I wanted to
try out an ergonomic keyboard, (2) it supports both USB and PS/2, so I could
satisfy my curiosity about USB but still use the keyboard if it tuned out USB
didn't work, and (3) they are $20 off at CompUSA and there is a $10 rebate,
making the final price only $30). After updating my BIOS so that the keyboard
worked there, I tried Linuxm, DOS, Windows 95, and Windows NT, and it worked
in all of them, with only minor glitches:
1. DOS: no problems.
2. Windows 95 and NT. The NUM LOCK and CAPS LOCK lights do not work. NUM
LOCK and CAPS LOCK work--it is just the lights that don't work.
3. Linux (2.0.36). NUM LOCK and CAPS LOCK do not work. Pressing either makes
it stop responding for several seconds. Other than that, it is working fine.
I believe that what is happening here is that the USB hardware on PCs supports
a mode whereby it will make a USB keyboard appear to software as a PS/2
keyboard, and that updating my BIOS enabled that mode. I've been told that
mice can work this way, too.
For devices other than keyboards and maybe mice, you need USB support in the
OS, but it looks like keyboards and maybe mice can be used now. Without OS
support, though, you won't get the automatic loading and unloading of drivers
as you plug in and unplug devices, so USB drivers for mouse and keyboard
would be nice.

Afaik, your error message _means_ that you have to recompile the
kernel. Personally, I don't know whether the RH-Kernels have sound
compiled in, but since most stock-kernels focus on the `vital`
hardware this seems highly unlikely to me.

So why does all the above make Times on a 300DPI-printer to gross to
be legible, while making it ok at 600DPI and great at 900DPI?

I haven't tested it yet, but the SparQ Drives use a protocol called

Or perhaps SuSE 5.3? (3.2? I thought the first SuSE was 4.2).
Everything else still holds, however. German based distro, uses rpms for
package management (uses yast as the tool to do so, or you can use the
standard rpm cli), etc. SuSE 6.0 should be out Real Soon Now (I've not
heard anything lately, but my guess is that as soon as 2.2.0 is stable,
SuSE 6.0 will be released, using the 2.2 kernel).

I don't know, but the fact is, a lot of scanners use the same
model name (eg 310, 610/620, etc.) I doubt Agfa would OEM stuff,
though, but that would be less unlikely of companies like Acer, Umax,

Their tech support is not good. I got a couple of e-mails from

running my scanner under Linux, so there's hope on my side. BTW, Acer
Vuego has three web sites (Asia, US, and Europe.)

Agreed. SuSE is a very good distribution, especially good for a newbie. The
German version of SuSE 6.0 is out already, English version is supposed to come
out soon.
I run Debian myself. It works great (awesome!) but it's definitely not
"newbie-friendly" - you need a little experience to run it.

I'm having trouble getting the Soundblaster PCI128 working under kernel
2.2.0-pre8.
<BR>I don't know what chipset I should compile for. I have looked
at creative labs web site and they don't say what chip it is based on.
