Ummm,

I think some where on nvidia.com/ they have just released an x server and
open gl drivers for TNT and TNT2 cards for linux (and os2/Be etc).

the next generation of PIII will be socket 370 based. up to you now, but
you really
should take the abit. it rocks !

now for the Athlon compatibility, forget that. you'll never have the
good chipset 
to manage it. and an adaptator would be so slow you'd lose the Athlon
advantages...

Hi,

I have a new Dell PowerEdge 1300 server with an SDT-9000 Sony DAT
drive.  I've loaded RedHat 2.2.5-15 and am attempting to read DDS, DDS-2
tapes without success.  I'm getting the error:

    tar: Read error on /dev/st0: Input/output error
    tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now
    tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

The error occurs immediately - ie the drive doesn't start reading the
tape.  The same happens with dd and with the /dev/nsto non-rewind
device.   I've tried using mt to set the density (mt -f /dev/st0
setdensity 0x13 etc) and also fiddled with the compression option - no
go..

I've tried DDS, DDS2 and DDS3 tapes and they don't work - BUT! I can
write tapes and then read them back on the drive with no problem.  I've
checked the mt-st-5.1 patch is up to date - So what am I doing wrong?

Hope you can help

Peter

Hi,

is there a possibility to alter bios setup values without using the
internal bios setup program (hit del to enter...) but some other program
? I have an embedded PC system without graphic and want to boot linux
from some harddisk (configured on another machine), which already works.
I compiled the kernal with root console on serial port. I thought it
would be fine to have some Linux utility to alter BIOS settings.

Thanks in advance,

Hello !

Do you know if your drive supports _hardware compression_ ? Mine -
Archive Python 28388 - does, via dip switches. I've already backed up
1.8 GB uncompressed (but hw compression on) and nearly 4 GB with hw and
additional software compression (gzip). I remember, when I bought the
drive about a year ago, playing a bit with the dip switches but not
really noticing a difference between hw compression on and off (in terms
of length of a test archive of given length with 'mt tell').
But maybe that is different with your HP so you can achieve the native
length only with hw compression on (just guessing) ?
Another dip switch setting, however, yielded unexpected results :
The one documented as "SCSI 2 compatibility" changed the SCSI setup
message to "SCSI 1" instead of 2, slowed down the drive a lot, but
let me use 4GB native of a DDS2 tape I've got (But boy, that took time)!
Meanwhile, I've changed that switch back, as the drive is slooow anyway,
but what I want to say with this is : Try and experiment a bit with
your drive's switches/jumpers; also try different brands of media -
it won't hurt too much, as DDS1 is the cheapest media of all (AFAIK) !

Look in the hardware database in www.suse.de. There you can lookup
what Xserver you need to be able to run your graphic card. I would guess
that you need a newer version of xfree86.

Hope this helps,
