I had mixed fat32 and linux partitions. Corruption was in the form of
trashed partition tables on linux, typically after a w95-side format.
Turned out that partition type for FAT32 defaulted to type 'b'. Making
these type 'c' stopped the corruption on linux in my case.
As for FAT16, its nature is to self-destruct every 5 months, so itsallll
good.
Summary: make sure your partitions are correctly identified on the linux
side.
- type 6 for FAT16 partitions (DOS 16-bit >=32M)
- type c for FAT32 partitions (Win95 FAT32 (LBA))

I recently got a new AGP card, asus TNT v3400, its a 2D/3D card with a riva
TNT chip.
I am haveing trouble configuring xwindows (redhat 5.2), it worked perfectly
fine with my
old AGP card, Trident 3DImage.
I tried to reconfigure it and used the asus riva128 driver but when i try to
run xwindows the screen goes all black and there are colours over the
screen.
I am not to knowledgable on the subject so could someone please tell me if i
have to get a new driver or is there something else i have to do.
thanks in advance

Sorry, I replied to a different reply, so here it is again:
I have a media gx 180 that runs linux just fine. The integrated video
is supported in the latest Xfree86, and the integrated audio works with
the SB16 driver. I haven't successfully configured an X server for
the GX, as I run an 8MB Millenium II card. If you have a spare video
card, I recommend that you install it to save yourself a few hassles.
Be careful of the layout of the PS/1 case, though. I just came into
possession of one and the case is not AT standard layout. For the
motherboard that I tried to put in the PS/1 case, only 1 mounting hole
lined up. It is a standard AT size, just non-standard mounting
points. The cyrix board does have a riser card (at least mine does), so
I think you should be safe there. Good Luck.

Subject: Ensoniq AudioPCI and microphone weirdness ?
Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 01:01:49 -0600
Hi.
I recently got an Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1371. When I tried to record stuff
with a regular
microphone from BestBuy, it didn't work. I mean I used sox to record a
wav of me speaking
into the mike, and it only recorded some garbled noise with a hint of my
voice in the
background.
Then, I used a SUN amplified mike (one that came with the old sparc IPC
workstations - it
even has a little battery inside it), and connected it to the LINE jack
instead of the
MICROPHONE jack. It _only_ records this way.
Did any of this happen to any of you guys ? I run Slack 4.0 with kernel
2.2.6, with the
sound driver that came with the kernel. And before you tell me the card
is broken, it isn't.
I exchanged it today, and the new one does exactly the same thing...
Why do I have to use a _weird_ microphone to record stuff ? Am I doing
something wrong ?
Thanks,
Gabriel

I have a Media GX 180 that I run Linux on just
fine. The integrated video is supported in the
latest Xfree86, but I haven't played with it long
enough to get a functional X server running, and
also because I have a Millenium II 8 MB card that
runs much better. The integrated sound is
supported if you use the SB16 settings and enter
the values found in the BIOS. If you have a spare
video card, I recommend installing it to save
yourself some agony. Text mode works fine. Good
luck.

Put heavy emphasis on the "bogo" part:
Pentium Pro 200MHz --> c. 200 bogomips
AMD K6-III 450MHz --> c. 900 bogomips
The latter is most assuredly *not* 4.5 times as fast as the former.
Don't mistake it for a performance measurement.

Well, it reports it, which is odd:

Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11. Master

Aha! -- progress. Thanks! Now it seems to detect the card ok, find
the HDD, but it cycles constantly between resetting the card,
identifying a queue, and then timing out on host 0. Any ideas?
[Incidentally, thanks very much for answering -- so many times these

I use Motherboard Monitor to monitor the temperature. It's nice program. It

To monitor CPU temperature, you need the sensor.

Hello,
I just ordered a new IIYAMA A702HT and to enjoy the most of it i'm
considering changing my very old S3 virge card, i think about the Asus V3400
which seems to have very good performance under Win95 (Sorry i use also this

Hi,
Lexmark tech support told me that the Lexmark Inkjet printer 1020 comes
in two models. The one that I own is called "Business Edition" (model
4078-001) and is supported under Linux, and indeed I was able to print a
text page on it (using the command "lpr /etc/passwd").
However, sending an HTML page to the printer drove it crazy. Since RH
Linux 6.0 does not support any Lexmark printers, does anyone know which
printer(s) does it emulate, from the list of supported printers (see URL
below).
Thanks.

If you need drivers for it, it's not a real modem but a Winmodem.
No chance. Sell it to a Win9*-only user and buy a real (external
