Thanks for your suggestion! I don't know, however, if the fonts are installed
properly. How do I check this (I'm still quite new with Linux)?

Perhaps the problem is worse than font-related; I'm incapable of printing any

Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 13:51:29 GMT
Hi there,
I unserstand that DMA doesnt work with ALI chipsets.
As a "proud" owner of ALI chipset my DMA for hda and hdc doesnt work. As
i was searching thru this newsgroup i
came to know that there is a patch at
http://www.kernel.dk/ide/
But as a newbie to linux and i dont know which are the suitable patch
files i need to download from that page.
My configuration -
AMD K6-2 400MHz,
10Gig HD,
I am running redhat6.0 (kernel 2.2.5-15)
I am planning to upgrade to 2.2.10 (the latest stable one).
So if i manage to upgrade my kernel without much problems, which are the
patch files i should get from
http://www.kernel.dk/ide/.
Another one of my stoopid questions. If i appply the patch successfully
and the dmas start working, later if i upgrade
my kernel again (whenever the next stable one is released) can i appply
the same set of patch files to that kernel too,
or i should download the suitable patches for that kernel again???
Please help me solve my problem...Thanx

I use Kai Makisra's "mt-st" (not GNu's "mt") which has more features.
BTW: They are both called "mt". To see if you are using Kai's do:
mt -v
it should report "mt-st v. 0.5b".
Using "mt-st" you can do:
mt datcompression
which report the state of compression, or
mt datcompression 1
to turn compression ON.
If your mt is the GNU one, you can compile and install Kai's. It
compiles out of the box.

Check out some of the web sites for the Linux distributions. They will
tell you that the minimum hardware is a 386 with 8Mb RAM and a 20Mb hard
disk. RedHat uses the XWindows GUI for everything, so it needs 16Mb RAM
and a faster PC with more disk space would make sense.

There are at least 17 different distributions of Linux. Each has it's
own, um, distribution methods. Some offer the complete installation CD in
a 600+Mb ISO file you can burn yourself. Almost all of them provide
floppy images via FTP to allow you to install a system. Some can load an
internet-aware minimum system in just three floppies, and can complete the
installation over the internet by downloading only the packages you
specify (which certainly beats the pants off of writing 30 floppies).
Visit http://www.linux.org/dist/index.html for a list of available
distributions and some help in selecting which package is right for you.
If you have never used Linux or Unix before, you may end up wanting to go
to your local book store and getting one of the Linux books that has a
Linux CD inside. That way you will have printed documentation that
matches your distribution exactly.

Actually, I've been thinking of the Riva TNT/TNT2 as well other than Voodoo

cards, but as the availability(supply) is quite limited(ok, I'm probably not
looking in
the right places), but I think I'll look around. Plus the fact that I'm
limited to a PCI
one, it narrows it down a bit, since I only just opened this system and found
that
it had PCI/ISA slots. No AGP ones, which kinda figures considering this

two years old..

Best thing to do is crack the box and get the manufacturer and
model number of the modem off the card, then try to get info
from the manufacturer's website.
A couple of clues:
If the modem card has jumpers for COM port and IRQ it is most
likely NOT a winmodem.
If it's a PCI card, it most likely IS a winmodem.
(There are a few rare exceptions to the above.)

Sigh. Even if I *used* Windows, I'd think WinModems are a horrible
thing. I don't want to use my CPU to do the work of my modem. Grr.
Anyway, if you know the manufacturer of the modem, you can do some
sluething online, but you probably already figured that out. Some
modems are good about this (they have "WinModem" printed on them, or
in the docs). These are easy. If they aren't clear, it becomes
largely a guessing game. Some of these clues might apply to
determining which box in Best Buy is WinModem.
A couple clues that might help;
1. If it's PCI, there's a good chance is WinModem; if it's not, it
likely isn't. PCI cards have quick enough access to the system to
send the raw data to the modem software, that actually decodes and
decompresses it (this is the part that doesn't work in Linux). ISA
cards generally do not.
2. If you can change the port settings (com1, etc) via jumpers, even
if the card is "Plug and Play," it likely is not a WinModem. If it's
set to Plug and Play, you may have trouble getting it to work in Linux
anyway; in that case, manually set com settings.
3. If there's software with it that says something like, "Requires
Pentium 133, 16MB RAM, Windows 95" it is likely (though not
necesarily) a WinModem. WinModems have that kind of system
requirement to run the modem software, but some manufacturers get
sloppy about what's needed to run the modem as opposed to what's
needed to run the software they bundle with the modem. If it says you
can use DOS, you're defnitely good to go (the WinModem software won't
run in DOS any more than Linux).
4. Similar to #3, if you can uninstall the modem software and
communicate with it from HyperTerminal, you're good to go: With the
modem driver completely uninstalled, a WinModem will be as dead in
Windows as it is in Linux, and HyperTerminal won't let you talk with
it. Similarly, if you can echo 'ath1' to the port in Linux and hear a
dial tone (or use a Linux terminal emulator to talk to the modem),
you're good to go.
5. If it supports "virtual com ports" up to numbers like 9 and 12, it
is likely a WinModem (though, again, not necessarily); WinModems
don't have to use a hardware com port, so it's easier to use
non-standard ports (1-4 are "standard").
6. Not much use for you, but helpful in the store, should you decide
this is a WinModem and need to buy a new one: if it's really cheap,
it's a WinModem (or junk, or a junky WinModem -- something to avoid in
any case). WinModems have less hardware (specifically, no
microcontrooler or on-board CPU) so they are cheaper to manufacture.
If it's $20, it's a WinModem. If it's $80, it likely is not.
Exceptions for specials, etc. naturally apply.
7. If it calls itself "controller based" it's not a WinModem (that's
the distinguishing factor -- Creative makes a big deal of this on one
of their modems, recognizing it as a selling factor).
8. Similar to 6 and 7, if you look at the card and it's tiny with
only a couple (3 or 4) IC's, it's probably a WinModem. If it's packed
with lots of stuff and is fairly large (nearly full size), it's
probably not a WinModem.
9. If it's external (again, not much use for you), it's not a
WinModem.
10. If it's "slow" it's probably not a WinModem. Software is what
makes 56K modems different than 33.6 modems, so it's silly to produce
a 33.6 WinModem.
11. If all else fails, but you can identify the modem, post info here
and see if anybody recognizes it.

James,
I just finished setting up my USR 56K FaxModem (which isn't a winmodem) and
PPPD software. One thing I had to do to get it to work was change my BIOS
from using PnP OS to using the PnP BIOS. This could cause a change in your
hardware's configuration though in Windows 98 since the BIOS is setting the
I/O, IRQ, etc. instead of windows. In my case, everything stayed the same
except my modem did change IRQ. I did try the little PnP support there is
available for Linux, but it wouldn't get my modem working.
Hope this helps,

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've recently considered buying a good color printer for when I want to
pictures from my digital camera. I've done some searching, and gotten the
Epson Stylos Photo 850 recommended, but I've already found it's not fully
supported under Linux. And I couldn't find any photo quality printers
supported either, though a number of reasonable quality color printers
were supported.
Now, I understand the Stylus Photo 850 worked somewhat with the Epson Stylus
Color-drivers, thus it cannot be THAT different. It just didn't get you the
extra features, as far as I understood. Can anyone confirm that the Epson
Stylus Photo 850 does not give WORSE performance than an Epson Stylus
Color-printer, at least?
Given that it obviously isn't THAT different, is anyone working on drivers for
ghostscript?
If not: Assuming one was to get specifications from Epson, would it likely be
an easy job to CODE a driver? I'm not an experienced driver-coder, although
I've done my share of C-programming, so I might be able to do it myself.
Bottom line is: If I can expect a driver in a year or so, I can live with
having to boot up windows on a machine to get my pictures in photo quality. But
if I'm never going to get a driver working for Linux for it, I'm not going to
spend any money on it.
Last: Does anyone know what's the best color printer options for Linux today,
in the <$1k market?

Yes, it is the same driver as for Vortex and Cyclone cards. See Donald

The module name, confusingly enough, is "3c59x.o" -- and you may need to

Hi,
When my eth0 is being configured, the wrong IRQ address is looked at. I
physically set it in /etc/conf.modules
with the correct IRQ address, but the script is not reading that i.e.
`modprobe' still looks at the wrong original
values even though conf.modules has been changed. `modprobe -c' shows
the correct value. What is over-riding
the correct values, and what other conf files should be edited to
correct this problem? I am using kernel

"options eth0 irq=3"

I have used the the Accel or accelerated server with this chipset on Red
Hat 5.1 successfully for quite some time. HOwever, as another poster
has mentioned, you may get improved performanc with some of the newer
servers. Attached is a working config file. It is set for maximum
1024x res. You can kick it up to higher resolutions if neccessary by
inputing the correct info. You can also kick up the refresh rates, if
your monitor supports it. 1024 is currently set to 75hz which is
generally quite safe for modern monitors. May be a good idea to not try
using it directly, as the paths, mouse info, etc may be different.
Also, ensure that whatever Xserver you decide to use is symlinked
correctly to the chosen server. Then, make sure that the Xserver
referenced in the X config file is correct.
