hi, everyone:
I have a Compaq ARMADA 7770 Ladtop, which comes with s3 aurora 64V+
video card. It can display at least 800by640 in windows, but when I
install the linux, the linux just regard it as 8 pixel color and size of
640by480. What it happens? Is it bug or I can find some patch for that?

I use the same RedHat 6.0, no problem with DGA. Perhaps you have installed a

Subject: Q: Acer Altos 11000 with Linux SMP
Date: 6 Jul 1999 09:22:47 GMT
Hi,
I´am in need for a faster Server (DB/WWW) which should be able to
do SMP. Since we just have an Acer Altos 19000 and support is fine, I
thought of an Acer Altos 11000. My question is, is anybody running such
a box - I know the smaller 1100 is certified now for RedHat, however the
11000 uses another chipset (82440 GX instead of the 82440 BX of the 1100)
and has an different on-board GC (ATI 264 VT).
I also like to use a Mylex Raid DAC960PG/PJ in that box.
Any suggestions ?

I am running Redhat 6.0 on a PC and need to buy a 56K Flex/V90 modem. I am
trying to get away from ISA slot modems because the newer motherboards
are almost eliminating them. I would like to stay with an internal modem
but I am not sure if there are any PCI slot modems that are not
"software modems". Are there any PCI modems that are compatable with
Linux? Am I locked into going to an external modem? What is a good
value?

Date: Tue, 06 Jul 1999 12:07:27 +0200
Please anyone may help me?
I bought a new machine 2 months ago:
AMD K6-2 350
Motherboard FIC PA-2013 (2Mbyte cache)
128 Mbyte PC100 SDRAM (8 ns)
Video card Matrox Millenium G200 LE (8Mbyte SDRAM)
ASUS 40X CD-ROM
IBM DTTA-351010 HDD
Soundblaster PCI64V Sound card
Adaptec 2904 SCSI controller
At the beginning i installed Suse 5.1 and the Slackware 3.6. And i get
the first problem. During the installation the system hung randomly and
i wasn't able to end the installation successfully.
I tried to put my processor and memory in an identical system, and it
seems to work, so i supposed my motherboard was defective (maybe the
VIA chipset). Then i tried lowering the FSB clock to 95Mhz (using the
processor at 333Mhz) and the system worked perfectly.
Now i get a new PA-2013 board, but the problem persists. I am not able
to install Slackware 4.0 or Redhat 6.0. The installation process hangs,
the CDROM stop running and the only way to continue is an hardware
reset.
The strange thing is that the whole system works under windows'98.
What can i try???
Thanks for help me--

Hi
I've got an SBLive, downloaded v0.2 drivers from creative.
Tried to install them, but when I do 'insmod sblive' I get this kind of

Unresolved external symbol: register_dsp

I probably didn't enable something somewhere, but I dunno what/where.
Can anyone help?

Hi, I'm a newbie and had few questions/problems.
1. I created a regular account so that I didn't had to log in as
root. The problem is that when I try to use the dial up (kpp) it gives
me this error. "pppd not properly installed. The ppd binary must be
installed witht he SUID bit set. Contact your system administrator" It
works fine under root, but not this regular user. I it as part of the
"root" group.
2. My sound card doesn't work. I have an IBM Thinkpad 310ED laptop
with an OPL-3 SAx sound card, I tried all of the settings with no joy.
Can anyone help me out here please. You can send me responses to

Valentin,
Thanks for the help, but I'm afraid I still don't understand. If there are
no traditional scan frequencies, where do you get the numbers for
Section "Monitor"?
The Dell Inspiron 7000 has the same video card, the same size (15")
screen, and the same resolution (1024x768), but the XF86Config file people
are using for the Dell still doesn't work. What variables could I possibly
change? Could the issue be that the two laptops have different BIOSes or
something?

Chad,
That's true about the LCD screen being totally different than a traditional
monitor, and not having traditional "scan frequencies".
Including a section in your X config file which contains the info which
would correspond to a 60hz scan frequency has done the trick on my laptop.
My box has a Chips&Tech 65554 chipset with 2meg vid mem. It works like a
champ. Here is my config file I'm using with MetroX.

I wrote the config file from scratch, because the configuration utility
didn't even have an entry for selecting this particular chipset. I have

Perhaps you'll find further info, or even a working config file for your
