I was recently given a Sony Superstation internal tape drive (IDE) and am
wonder if there is Linux support for it. (I'm running the RedHat 6.0
distribution.) I've been to redhat.com, linux.org and the ftape home page
and haven't found anything about it (or didn't see it when I was looking
at it ;)

I have looked at the "Short List X Servers" for the Monster 3D, and I
didn't find any matches. Does anyone know of an Xserver that I can use?
Can I make my own Xserver? If not, I am looking into buying the Diamond
Fire GL1000 Pro, which is on the Xserver list. Has anyone tried using
this card. Any help would be great! I just installed the system (RH
6.0), and I am excited to be a newbie.
Thanks,

a few guys from a college in New England are working on a program that
works with the tv tuners that are installed on ATI's line of graphic
cards. I have an ATI All in WOnder PCI w/ 8megs ram and the program
works ok with it. It has all the features setup to be utilized as the
program taht ATI bundles with the card but the guys havent programmed
all the features yet. its called xatitv i believe..do a search on
freshmeat or someplace like that and its bound to pop up somewhere im
sure.

Subject: Zoom modem makes odd noises
Date: Mon, 09 Aug 1999 22:48:43 -0500
Hello. I cracked my box open today and here's what I found out: My
modem is trying to tell me something. When I move the mouse, it whirs.
The mouse is at /dev/ttyS1, and the modem (a Zoom Faxmodem v.34
internal, I think) is at /dev/ttyS2. So it's basically whirring all the
time under X. This has to be some sort of weird device conflict,
right? What I do with the mouse should have nothing to do with the
modem... should it? Took out the modem -- whirring goes away.
Likewise, there is the problem I mentioned in an earlier message: When
running Esound, the modem starts whining. Shut down Esound, the whining
stops. Run the CPU at a certain level, the whining also stops, until
CPU activity settles down again.
Freaky, huh? Anyone have any clues?

Realize, this is ALL about our Lord YHSH, the Christ:
-Jesus was born before sunrise Monday, August 12, 3 BC.
-Jesus was visited by the Magi Tuesday, June 17, 2 BC.
-Jesus was baptised on Saturday, September 20, 27 AD.
-Jesus rode into Jerusalem Saturday, April 21, 31 AD.
-Jesus was crucified on Wednesday, April 25, 31 AD at
9 AM, and died shortly after 3 PM that afternoon; His
body was entombed after sunset the eve of the Sabbath.
-Jesus was resurrected early Saturday evening, April 28,
31 AD. This fact was discovered at 5 AM Sunday morning.
-Jesus was 11,944 days of age at His crucifixion. He'd
lived 32 years/36 weeks/4 days. Now He lives forever.
This solar eclipse is precisely *2001* years plus *1* day
after the birth of Jesus on August 12, 3 BC[Julian calendar].
Once you discern the Presence of the Lord, you'll understand
the present earthchanges, and you'll know that the outcome is
foreordained by God from the beginning, that it is His prophecy
fulfilled because His Word---His Law---is Immutable(as always)!
Godspeed,
Daniel

I took off my cover and pointed a room fan set on "high" at the CPU.
Then I underclocked it to 300. Compiled successfully. Upped it to 400.
A-OK. Tried 450. Bam! Error 127: libc.so.6 cannot read file data: no
such file or directory (something like that). So I went back down to
400. It worked again. I switch back and forth from 450 and 400 several
times. It always gave me an error at 450 and compiled successfully at
400. The CPU temperature was 95 degrees all through the test. The
bottom of the CPU is stamped 450 megahertz, so the store I bought it
from didn't cheat me. Any guesses? Oh, and yes, I do shut it off at
night.

Yes, I just installed a Ricoh MP7040A IDE/ATAPI CD-RW drive,
and I wrote my first CD-R last week. I originally tried to use the SCSI
emulation using modules, since that is how my parallel port ZIP drive
works. After much hair pulling and kernel OOPS trying to get the modules
to work, I compiled the SCSI support, SCSI CD-ROM support, SCSI
emulation, SCSI generic, and SCSI vendor specific into the kernel, and left
out the ATAPI CD-ROM. I left ISO9660 as a module, and I downloaded
UDF to read (and maybe write) packet CD-RWs made in Windoze.
On my system I can mount the CD as /dev/sr0 (update /etc/fstab) and the isofs
module will autoload. I can insmod udf when I want to play with packet CDs.
As for writing, I used mkisofs to create the image, then cdrecord to device /dev/sg0
to burn the disk. See the CD-writing HOWTO for the details here.
My question to the world at this point is does anyone know how to do CD
packet writing? I'm using SuSE 6.1 w/kernel 2.2.7. Just mounting the CD
as read/write instead of read-only would be a start.

Just a wild guess... Could it be that you have /dev/modem symbolically
linked to /dev/ttyS1 (ie. your mouse)? Or something like that?
Something similar I had experienced was that mouse movements under X produce
a very silent but audiable "chirping" noise. I don't know whether that was
the same phenomenon your are faced with. My problem seemed to have gone
away all by itself. Anyway...
Cheers!
Karl
PS: Come to think of it, I think I had a Zoom 14.4 modem in my machine when
that happened to me. Hmmm....

If your screen is physically limited to 800x600 resolution, as mine is
(a 12"tft with 2mb vid ram), you can still do 1024x768 at 16 bit color
depth using X windows virtual scrollable resolution.
Here is my configuration file for X, and I will insert the line which
enables the virtual res. I'm running it with SuSE 6.1, so if you're not
using this distro, check the path statements, file location statements,
server name statements, etc. The actual resolution, dot clocks,
frequencies will all work correctly for you. I am running it on a Chips
& Tech 65554 but this server also works for the 65555 as well. If you
have less vid memory, you will need to run your box at lesser
resolutions, OR at lesser color depths.

Then you don't understand the technicals details of the card
involved. That tuner chip is publically doucmented. Only it's
backend interface to ATI's chips is an issue. THAT is hardly
of strategic advantage.
What ATI uses is a variant of the bt848s.

You might want to get the latest module source and upgrade.

Did you try photopc and it's front end gphoto?? Works for most cams=20
with serial communication.
Good luck

Subject: 486 and monochrome - no output
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 08:29:20 +0300
hi,
i just installed RH6.0 on an old 486DX66 w/8MB ram
and 500+ disk
everything works fine except for the fact
that when i boot my custom kernel or a kernel
that i built on my PII-233/192MB i see
(i use lilo)
loading kernel.....
uncompressing .................. ok now booting
and then nothing
the "disply" adapter is an old monochrome that has also
a parallel port built on it.
the strange thing is that i have output from the kernel-2.2.5-22
that came with the cd ( i upgraded from kernel-2.2.5-15)
TIA,
Ohad
ps - please cc my email

Should this make a difference? I have a Pentium 150 that I leave up
7x24 and it has never had a problem. Is there some weakness in the K6
that makes it sensitive to prolonged exposure to heat. If so, AMD
just went on my s**t list.

It's the device used by BackPenguinOrifice, sounds like you've been
cracked...
Just kidding, it's the device used by the Unix98 pseudo-tty. As per
the Configure.help:
You'll then get a virtual filesystem which can be mounted on
/dev/pts with "mount -t devpts". This, together with the pseudo
terminal master multiplexer /dev/ptmx, is used for pseudo terminal
support as described in The Open Group's Unix98 standard: in order
to acquire a pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number
of the pseudo terminal is then made available to the process and the
pseudo terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
The GNU C library glibc 2.1 contains the requisite support for this
mode of operation; you also need client programs that use the Unix98
API.
