Greetings,
I am running RedHat 6.2, and I can see my ATAPI Zip drive just fine.
You should see it if you mount /dev/hdc

Actually, I just found out that the color does work, with the exception of
color created with TeX (LaTeX), which I need
very badly.
The color print and background when printed from dvips are shaded, but not
colored.
Anyone have any clues???

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,
I've checked local and online documentation (FAQs, HOWTOs, READMEs, etc.) for
both GhostScript and APSFilter, but I still haven't found the information I
need...
I have an Epson Stylus COLOR 600 on LPT1 (/dev/lp0).
My system is running the following:
SuSE Linux 6.4
GhostScript 5.50
(looks like a fairly standard implementation)
APSFilter 4.9
(as near as I can tell; the APSFilter implementation
that comes with SuSE 6.4 has been somewhat modified
as far as installation scripts go)
I am using the Uniprint driver for this printer:
Printer = Stylus COLOR 600
Resolution = 360x360
Paper Size = Letter
Paper Type = Plain Paper
The printer works great; output is properly scaled, formatted, etc... EXCEPT
that I don't get enough "red" in my printouts. For example, on my system, if
you use Netscape Communicator under Xfree86/KDE at 65536 colors, go to
http://www.sun.com/ (as of 09/17/2000 1:00am Eastern)
and print out their home page with
lpr -Plp
(my print queue for the Stylus COLOR 600), the big red "iPlanet" circle at the
top of the page comes out orange. Orange comes out as a mid-grade yellow, and
purple/violet comes out as a blue or blue-gray.
Same effects from StarOffice for Linux: great formatting/scaling, with a need
for more "red."
The printer works fine under Windows - reds are red, oranges are orange,
etc... I have fresh cartridges (black and color) installed, and all print head
nozzles are working well (no gaps).
Are there any options to adjust color saturation using these tools/utilities?
Any help much appreciated...
Thank You and Best Regards,
Kevin Adams

Hello! I was just looking through the video card compatibility list @
Xfree86.org, and couldn't find this card. I'm hoping to get the GeForce MX (if
it's linux compatible) for a dual boot machine I'm building. The GeForce DDR

I ran pnpdump and then edited the file giving my network card BASE of
280 based on what I found in my old lil.conf file:
append= "ether=0,0x280,eth0"
I ran isapnp and got the following error message:

If I got to 396 there is a keyword (CHECK), if I remove it then no errors
are thrown and the output is:

Can anyone explain what is going on here?

Lesley ... Diamond Multimedia supplies the following init string ... and

AT&F2M0Q0E0 ( "0" = zero, not the letter "O"
DO be sure to use a serial port away from the mouse or any other serial
device. You can force this by adding the following line to the end of
the /etc/rc.d/rc.local text file (you must be root to edit this file)
setserial /dev/ttyS# irq #
look at the setserial man page for more details. That text file is read
at boot. It is the last file read at boot and will absolutely govern.
Getting a modem to work is usually the most difficult (initial)
challenge faced by a newbie. Congratulations on having this problem ...
it means everything else went well :-)

Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 08:15:02 GMT
You should try to choose no X configuration at the gracphica
instalation program (Yast2). Then after the instalation is finish
run "sax" and reconfigure correctly your video card. The memory timming
might not be autodetected correctly. The other way to do it is by
typing the init you wish to use at boot prompt (in SuSE case no X is
init 2) and this should boot you to bash then you can reconfigure your
video card with sax.

Hi folks
I have a udma66 drive and udma66 onboard controller hpt366. The mandrake
7.1 recognises the hd as hde and installs and works fine except if I
choose to use the harddisk optimisations it dies.[just hangs]
Redhat installation does not recognise it. However the following are
given by hdparm.
Mandrake 7.1 , via UDMA66 interface.
cache reads: 71.51 mb/sec
disk reads: 2.41mb/sec
RedHat 6.2 via UDMA33 interface.
/dev/hda:
multcount = 0 (off)
I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 0 (off)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 3322/255/63, sectors = 53369568, start = 0
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 19.24 seconds = 3.33 MB/sec
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.95 seconds = 65.64 MB/sec
Does it look ok to you guys. Mandrake was recognisably slow on the
udma66. That is why I fell back to Redhat.
Thanks

If you have installed the HP 4 driver you will

Subject: RH 6.2 - Disk Drive Replacment
Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 11:34:23 GMT
Hello,
I have been seeing these messages in my log files for a few days and I think
one of my drive is beginning to fail.
I am running RH 6.2 on a system with two IDE drives (1.6 & 1.2GB). I have a
single drive (7GB) to replace the two existing drives.
I figure, at worse I will have to remove the two old drives and install the
new drive and re-install RH 6.2.
Is there a simpler way to replace the drives and allow me to add the extra
drive space to the existing filesystems without re-install RH 6.2
Any advise would be greatly appreciated
