Hello together,
I am running SuSE 6.1 with three SCSI-Controllers (an on-board ADAPTEC

and two DAWI-Control DC-2975 U).

(those lines were from /proc/scsi/scsi so all devices seem to be know to
linux).
but if I issue the command scsiinfo -l it tells me:
# scsiinfo -l
/dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/scd1
and a "mount /dev/sr3 (or /dev/scd3) /mnt -t iso9660" yields a:
# mount /dev/sr3 /mnt -t iso9660
mount: /dev/sr3 has wrong major or minor number
which is sort of strange since the devices seem to be set up properly
as a ls -lg /dev/sr? and ls -lg /dev/scd? show:
# ls -lg /dev/scd?

I have the same cd writer and red hat 6.0 and it loads fine. Make sure your
host scsi ID is 7, and you have an ID between 2-6 for your writter (mine is
3). If that doesn't solve it, linux might not support your scsi card (if you
are using one).

I have it set up in Xfree86 3.3.1 with the PS/2 Protocol and Buttons 4.
However, the 4th button still funtions as the middle button which is the
default action when it is not recognized. All the other protocols make
it act eratic, even the MouseMan.
Any ideas?

Seconded. 3COM or Intel (like the EtherPro 10/100) cards are the way to go.
They both run in the $40-$50 dollar range. I feel it's worth it.
Back when REAL DEC 2104x "Tulip" chips were available a lot of 3rd party
cards using this chipset were a good buy. Now however, many 3rd party
cards use DEC Tulip clone chips or other chips. The one I bought for $20.00
was extremely flakey under Linux. (It's now running fine on a Win98 box
on the same network.)
I suggest sticking with 3COM or Intel - the lack of frustration in not having
to debug a problematic card is worth it.

I suspect that the Lexmark 1100 is a windows-only GDI printer. I don't
think you will beable to use it under Linux. I know nothing about the
Minolta printer -- if it speaks PCL or PostScript you will beable to use
it. But I have no idea whether or not it does.

Since you are using SuSE, the easiest way is to use OSS (assuming that
you have an ISA sound card). I think OSS is listed somewhere under the
commercial application packages (in YaST) or something. Once it is
installed, it is extremely easy to set up a card; just run the
soundconf program and it *should* auto-detect your card and things will
work.

Well, I don't know about redhat, but SuSE 6.0 tried to mount the
install-dat before creating a filesystem (or so I gathered from the
error-message) --- not surpriesingly, this didn't work.
