I added: Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
To my "Core Pointer's InputDevice section" of my XF86Config file, and run
imwheel. This works with XF86 4.0 and my Logitech scroll.

While on the subject of burners, what is your favorite recipe to make your
own audio CDs from different CDs like for instance, to make CDs to play in

You can also run two mice under X 4.0.x. Your XF86Config-4 file
should have "InputDevice" sections for both mice, named "Mouse1" and "Mouse2"
(or whatever, just as long as they're different). The in the "ServerLayout"
section, put this:
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents" "T"
Note the extra stuff after the "InputDevice". This lets you run two (or
more?!) mice. I have both a MouseMan+ and a Cirque Smartcat running on my
computer, and they work fine. And no, I'm not using gpm at all.

I use the latest version of XCDROAST (.98test8). Easy, intuitive.
Read in the tracks you want from whatever CDs you want (making sure you
give them different names-- not all "track-05.wav).
Select the ones and the order you want them
in. Burn them. That's it.
(It is a front end to cdda2wav and cdrecord, so you could do it all
from the command line as well, but this makes it easy.)

Subject: Computer goes whacky installing KDE 2.01
Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2001 12:41:16 -0700
I'm not sure what's up with this one and I've never seen this kind
of behaviour with my computer before. Has anyone encountered this
before or has an idea what's going on? Also, what to do about this?
I started with an install of Mandrake 7.2. To this install I had
compiled the newer 2.4.0test12 kernel for my Athlon 700 here. I then
compiled and added the Alsa sound drivers. So far, no apperent probs,
and everything appeared (and now does appear, as I got this much done
and then stopped) to be working fine.
The trouble began when I went to install the binaries for XFee86
4.02 and after getting back into X the new KDE 2.01 interface. When
pulling down the .rpms of this for Mandrake 7.2, leaving X and then
doing a
rpm -ivh *.rpm --nodeps --force
from within the directory holding the rpms for KDE 2.01. While
installing the stuff from the kdebase file it gave me (what I caught of
the error)
<daemon.crig> mon [1267]: failure sor servers <something or other>
This then after it finished installing from the other files and I
started writting this down as I wasn't sure it went on as it
should...started scrolling by on my screen a bit, and then my login
session crashed and I found myself back at the login prompt.
OK, I went to login again and did a startx. No desktop still showed
up. Instead I still just got an X term type interface as I had when I
put XF 4.02 in. Leaving X again, and trying the rpm command line
again...but having it direct output to a logfile...that same error came
up again (but this time before I issued the command), though it didn't
come up when issuing it (didn't show up in the logfile).
Generally speaking, the performance on my computer had been shot
straight to hell, it was taking an inordinately long time to bring up
any app after I typed in it's name at (well I was still getting an X
term like interface) and when the window would finally appear and it was
ready to go)...the general responsiveness to anything I might try to do
seemed rather slugish and somewhat non-existant, there were the error
messages that would come back up (even after the file copying that first
produced it...was since done with), and the computer was just not
behaving normally at all.
Suspecting that something had been thrown out of whack, and my
computer ended up in some bad state from which there was no adequate
handling for, I shutdown x again, did a
shutdown -h now
turned off the computer, (even unplugged it for awhile, to get around
all that sofset shutoff, advanced power management, and other stuff with
these newer ATX systems), and let the thing sit a bit. I then plugged
it back in, and booted back up. However, booting to Linux and doing a
startx this time yeilded (what I caught of it)
Fatal Server error:
could not open default font "fixed"
[...] (a message about when filing a bug report, make sure to include
all text and not just the last message (all not visable on my screen
however)
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
[root^Pegasus ~]$ <daemon.crit> non[1275]:
failure for servers telnet 978259166 local host
I tried several times, and the same crap came up but no X. It was a
permanent error and occurred 100% of the time. All that had to happen
for this to happen since I installed these was nothing more then
rebooting my machine here.
Ideas? My computer here:
- AMD Athlon 700 classic .25u
- Asus K7M with 1009 BIOS (Something a little different then usual was
done with the chipset for this mobo, so for those not aware of this
mobo, I'll include the chipset info below)
- AMD Irongate 751 northbridge
- Via 82C686A southbridge
- 2x 128 MB Corsair PC100 CAS 2 SDRAM with ECC (totalling 256 MB RAM)
- Hercules Prophet II GTS 32 MB
- Adaptec 29160 (ultra 160 SCSI controller...yes this is a 64 MB SCSI
card, but can detect its being seated in a 32-bit PCI slot and then
operate in 32-bit PCI mode) Using SCSI BIOS 2.57.2
- 37.6 GB Seagate Cheetah x10 for Ultra 160 SCSI and occupying SCSI ID 0
(ST336704LW) Yes this is properly isolated on the Ultra 160 SCSI bus
segment, using an LVD SCSI cable, and operating in LVD mode. It's also
the drive that Linux is installed onto.
- 9.1 GB Seagate Cheetah ST39102LW. Using SCSI ID 8, and same deal as
the other hard drive, in terms of the bus segment it's running on, cable
attached to, etc.
- Plextor PlexWriter RW 4/2/20, using SCSI ID 2 Using firmware 1.04
(All CD drives are also properly isolated onto the legacy SCSI bus
segment with this card...so no probs in setup there)
- Nakamichi MJ-5.16si 5 disk, 16x CD changer. Using SCSI ID 3
- Toshiba 32x CD Rom XM-6201TA using SCSI ID 4
- scanner currently unplugged, and terminated in the mounting bracket
which is attached to the end of the SE SCSI cable (going through the CD
drives) with an active terminator.

IIRC, that was in Pentium TX and HX motherboards. Pentium Pro motherboards
were the generation after that (FX and I'm blanking on the other one).
Besides, Pentium Pros tended to be targeted to the server market anyway, so you
tended to have support for large memory configurations (at least large for the
day).

I tend to like NECX Direct (http://www.necxdirect.com/) myself since its web
site is fairly informative, including detailed description of features,
comparisons of features between models, links to the manufacturer's web site.
CDW's (http://www.cdw.com/) web site is more average. Micro Warehouse's
(http://www.warehouse.com/) web site is a complete disaster, particularly if
you don't know exactly what you want (their paper catalogs that seem to come
forever after you've bought from them once are a good way to see what's
available). Don't expect the best prices from Micro Warehouse, but sometimes
they have components the others don't. Another disaster is buy.com, which has
rather shallow amount of stock, and I always have to get into a long song and
dance with them about delivery to a Mailboxes, etc& address (I live on a rural
road that is not a street, so I don't really have a street address).

After 3 years of cdr's I gotta say that Verbatim "Data Life Plus" (Not the
cheapies) seems to play in pretty much anything. One thing that never
works write is using a directcd disk (Arranged and closed for a standard
cdrom) in the new MP3 players. I had one disk with 132 tracks that my MP3
player claimed had 718 tracks! Oh well off topic ;-) The standard wisdom
is that any cdr should play in any player, this just aint so. I have a car
unit that wont read cheap Verbatim blues even when written at 1x. The same
player will read the data life's written at 10x....

Actually, a better place for the Matrox Linux beta driver would be:

Note, this driver contains a binary glob whose source is not freely available
if purity of free source matters to you.

I'm not too sure about your KDE trouble but to get X working again edit the
XF86Config-4 file and change the FontPath line at the begining to
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"
I have this problem whenever I install a version of X other than the one
supplied with Mandrake in every version right up to 7.2 which I use now.

FX440 and i think KX and/or GX for SMP boards.

however bioses are notorious for their bugs. try it. if it works
fine. otherwise, the lilo paramater of append mem=256M isn't all that
big a deal. 64M is certainly enough to boot and install with.

Hi
You can use rec or esdrec from the command line to record to a file
]# esdrec testfile.wav
and play or esdplay to hear that file
]# esdplay testfile.wav
aumix allows you to adjust the levels and select the input source, i think it
defaults to /dev/mixer
]# aumix
hope this helps
