What kind of wheel mouse do you have? I've Logitech M-S48 with Zilog controller
and it working flawlessly on my notebook. Check out this webpage:

Good luck!

Not true, many USB devices are already supported, and many more are coming.

Date: Sun, 19 Sep 1999 00:10:53 GMT
Hello,
I just compiled kernel 2.2.12, and the distro I am using is SuSE 6.1.
After compiling the kernel and making the modules, with multiple
attempts, I constantly have problems with some modules.
The first is the following error:
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-5
which happens to be serial support:
alias char-major-4 serial
alias char-major-5 serial
After running depmod -a I receive:
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.12/misc/tulip.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/misc/sf.o
In my conf.modules file I have the following for the tulip module:
alias eth0 tulip ...and
options tulip options eth0 io=0x400 irq=11
The tulip driver is used with a Linksys that comes with Linksys's
"Fast Ethernet 10/100 Network in a Box". Running lsmod shows the
tulip module loaded:
Module Size Used by
tulip 29512 0 (autoclean) (unused)
The last problem is with ppp. I kernel enabled support for ppp
(ver. 2.3.8), and a General Instruments SB1000 internal 1 way hybrid
cablemodem. Once I am connected I get the following:
pppd[886]: Remote message: ^D^EM-j^B^F
pppd[886]: local IP address 24.48.XX.XXX
pppd[886]: remote IP address 10.1.XX.XXX
kernel: cm0: sb1000 at (0x110,0x310), csn 1, S/N 0x25e58c87, IRQ 5.
kernel: sb1000.c:v1.1.2 6/01/98 ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
pppd[886]: Protocol-Reject for unsupported protocol 0x75
Now that is not the only hex protocol that I get (0x75), I receive many
others, that differ from connection to connection, such as 0xab, 0x3a01.
Whenever I get the error message my connection stalls for a bit, once
the
errors stop coming up then my connection resumes.
Thanks in advance,

Which version (also which vendor) supports the Diamond Fireport 40 (Symbios)
SCSI adapter? I tried used the bootdisk with RedHat 5.2 and I get
"VFS: Cannot open root device 08:01"

I have to install Linux on a Dual-pentium machine equipped with a Adaptec

Does anybody know where to find that driver to get rid off my problem (and

The Fireport 40 is supported by every Linux-distribution
in case it provides the ncr53c8xx-Module.
Of course you have to load this module first.
(at least with the SuSE-Bootdisks you have to)
If your root-device is a scsi-disk and you want to boot from it,
you will have to compile the ncr53c8xx-driver into the kernel.
(But I thin that was clear anyway.)

Nils

Hello Rajiv,
Check your bootup messages. That should say more about your ide
interfaces. Try
dmesg | grep -i ide
and see what it says. My output is
PIIX3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xffa0-0xffa7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xffa8-0xffaf, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
Catting /proc/pci gives you the pci interface, not the channels. (I
think...)

Date: Sun, 19 Sep 1999 02:11:58 +0100
Hi All,
I'm having great trouble setting up my modem for use with Linux. So far
I have established the following settings. I've set up the serial port
to the correct IRQ, port settings and UART, but this seems to have no
effect. When I use minicom, nothing happens, kppp says that the modem
is not responding. Is there anything I've missed out here or what?
By the way, I'm trying to set this up on /dev/ttyS3 and this is linked
to /dev/modem. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To help I've included the
/proc/pci file on linux.
I'm using Suse 6.2
Cheers
Richard

BTW, you've got a crappy winmodem, you're not getting online in linux
with that.

The 'stable' kernels (2.2.x) don't support USB. The 'development' kernels
(2.3.x) do support USB to some degree. Since I don't use USB, I can't say to
what extent they support it.
