I have a Pinnacle PCTVpro TV card installed in my computer, and I use
xawtv to watch TV. It works fine with small window sizes, but when I try
to use fullscreen mode something goes wrong. I see the left edge of the
picture, the rest of the screen is black. The edge between the picture
and the black area isn't sharp, it's kind of fuzzy.
I'm using the drivers that came with Mandrake 8.0. xawtv is set to PAL
mode (I know it's the right mode, because it's the only one that looks
right).

Subject: Stupid D-Link DFE-530+, how to fix in RH 7.1?
Date: Thu, 03 May 2001 01:30:05 -0000
Problem a. I've got a D-Link DFE-538TX, which makes it part of the 530+
family that uses the realtek 8139 series chipsets.
Problem b. I run RH 7.1
Compiling the rtl8139.c driver comes with nothing but errors, the 8139too
package doesn't work, and there is no pre-compiled version of the driver
module to be found (I think it's supposed to be included, but I can't find
the darn thing anywhere on the CD)
I'm in the midst of attempting to recompile my kernel, but with RedHat,
they make it so darn difficult if you're upgrading without their specific
kernel.
I've seen a fair bit of posts about this problem, and I've looked at a ton
of online references, but all signs point to "no dice". I've even seen one
post saying that kernel 2.4.2 in RH 7.1 doesn't work with the driver. So
one should just have to recompile right? but I'm taking the stance that if
I'm going to be compiling I may as well cruise on up to kernel 2.4.4
Any help with these confounded nics would be appreciated.

Subject: The Excalibur GeForce 2 MX AGP and Linux
Date: Thu, 03 May 2001 01:36:07 GMT
I just purchaced an Excalibur GeForce 2 MX AGP video card from Pine
Technologies and I, for the life of me, can't get it to work with Red
Hat 7.0. It will boot fine in Console mode, but it can't access the
card to start XWindows (I believe the version is 4... I just tried a
complete reinstall and I don't recall off the top of my head which
version comes standard with RH 7)... Even Xconfigurator dosen't seem
to like it. I have downloaded all of the latest drivers for it and
they compiled with out a hitch...
The only thing I can think of that I haven't gone looking for yet
would be some kind of AGP server/driver that dosen't come as part of
the standard XFree86 package.
If any one has any inight, it would be most appreciated

Lots of people shut their Linux/BSD machines down or reboot every day
for various reasons. Fan noise, power saving, booting a different OS,
etcetera. Not everyone is running a machine that needs 24/7 uptime. If
the long fsck times get on your nerves, try ReiserFS or another JFS that
shouldn't need fscking. Or use tune2fs if you like to live dangerously.

Hello,
DFE-530TX uses via-rhine
DFE-530TX+ uses rtl8139
According to Redhat's hardware compatability list newer revisions of these
cards are incompatible or problematic. It says some users have had success
updating to the 2.4 kernel (which 7.1 already uses) or using the drivers
from:
http://www.scyld.com/network/
Redhat's hardware compatibility list:
http://hardware.redhat.com
You might try manually adding the module if it isnt detecting it all and
see what happens, to /etc/modules.conf
alias eth0 via-rhine
then in a console:
modprobe eth0

In the mean time he should try and follow these instructions from a Linux

setup issues. Once I followed all of these instructions my Linksys PMP200
card was able to connect to my network. Here is the Linux help link anyway:
http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/networking/networkconfig.shtml for
the command line instructions and
http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/networking/netcfg_ethernet.shtml for

I suspect that it may boil down to having to get an upgraded version of the
card services. It would appear that RH7.1 card services don't have the card
definition for the LinkSys card. Of course it will now be a matter to see
whether or not Yuri will be able to get the same version of card services or a
later version of card services working with his RH7.1 system.
See ya

I doubt very much that it's all that dangerous at this point in e2fs
development. A timed e2fsck is far more useful than a max-mount
e2fsck, for exactly the reasons you pointed out (and I cut): people
leave their boxes on for dramatically varying periods of time.

The VXA- 1 tape drives are now available for just $649, which is $400
off list price, for a U2W SCSI drive with 33/66 GB and 3/6 MBps. That's
about the same as a DDS drive, but _much_ better performance and

To each their own, but in the years I have been using and managing UNIX (tm)
systems (which is about 23 or so), I find it easier if you put all of the OS
stuff in one partition (or disk), and all of the user stuff in a completely
separate partition, and if disk space allows, have two equal sized directories
that can hold the OS stuff and be capable of being booted. This allows you to
have a rescue platform with all of the tools you like to use, and allows you to
experiment with new releases without destroying a working system. I also find
I'm cursed, such that no Linux upgrade has ever worked for me, so I find it
easier just to do a full install each time. Having stuff in separate
partitions also allows for things like dump, and to dump the important data
(your home directory, etc.) more frequently than the OS partition.

Off the top of my head:
1) You might be evaluating which system you like better;
2) You might be producing software that you want to make sure works on
different distributions;
3) You may have distribution envy and think the grass is greener in
another distribution.

Got a little free time so I may as well waste some bandwith. Maybe you
and anyone interested can get a little use out of it.
The machine I'm working off right now is an AMD K-7 Athlon/Duron 700 on
a GA-7ZX MB with the VIA KT133 Chipset.
I guess the basics are:
320 meg ram
1 Samsung 6.5 gig HD
1 Maxtor 6.1 gig drive
1 Hi-Val 12x/40x DVD/CDROM
1 Samsung SW-408 CD-R/RW Drive
320 meg PC-100 ram
STB Velocity 128 Video 8 meg
Hauppage WinTV Card
Jaton 56K V-90 non-pnp modem
Standard 3 1/2 Floppy
RealTek RTL8139 Network Card
On-Board Creative CT5880 sound (ens1371)
ProView 720 17" monitor
MicroSoft Intellipoint PS/2 mouse
and it's in an EnLight en-7230 Case.
Local piece by piece purchase and put together.
I'm running it right now Triple boot with Win98SE, Redhat 6.1, and a
Peanut Linux distro on it. Booting is controlled with PQ Boot Magic. Two
gig devoted to Win98, two gig devoted just a DOS partition for archiving
application and installation files on the primary disk, the full second
disk is allocated to ext2 on which the Peanut Linux I'm playing with and
building into a full fledged system, resides.
Particulars on each distro are, the RH 6.1 runs a 2.4.3 kernel, XFree86
4.3 and KDE 2.1.2 and a Netscape 6.1 in addition to the 4.63. I've run
it with the distro RH 2.2.10-20, a 2.2.17 and 2.2.19 kernel in addition
to the 2.4.3 that's on it at present.
The Peanut Linux is basically the same and evolved up from the standard
compact distro to the present.(some gymnastics to get around it's
stubborn default install insistence of being on a partition on the first
disk ;-))
The RedHat installed basically without a glitch.
Mandrake 7.1 sucked like only Mandrake 7.1 can suck.
COL 2.3 will not install on the system. Locks as soon as it tries to
load the kernel.
Sound was a bitch to get configured under Linux due to lack of
documentation and the fact that the via drivers for linux that ships on
the systems cd would not work with either of the systems and problems
with the AC97 codec. After I took a break from beating my brains out and
learned a little about ALSA, sound became pretty simple and it's turned
out to be the best sounding system on both distros and Win included,
that I've ever used.
The AMI bios took some getting used and some tweaking from default or
setup also for me since I've been basically with Award bios since my
8086 and IBM PS-2 days.
I could do what little work kind of work I do on a computer with vi or
DOS edlin, so the rest of it is all a hobby for me since I'm disabled
retired, and I'll probably brillo pad the disks in a couple of days and
try it with FreeBSD, another Deb Tater or something to just see what I
can get it to do.
Oh, I also set it up for a few days with a Caldera DrDOS install before
I put Win on it.
So far it's done good. But I'd not recommend doing it the way I've done
it for a first time puter builder and Linux new guy, or at least not the
faint of heart. ;-)
Okay, I'm through horn blowing and sorry if I took too much of the
disinterested's time and space.
