[much snippage]
If you want to pretend that /dev/ttyS4 is /dev/ttyS2 , then just "rm
/dev/ttyS2 ; mv /dev/ttyS4 /dev/ttyS2". It's inelegant, but it'll work.
The fact that it's showing up as ttyS4 instead of ttyS2 is probably
because COM1..4 were standardized back in the early days of PC
architecture, and the board is being careful not to step on any of the
I/O ports or IRQs that those serial ports were defined to use. Are
there jumpers on the board or some DOS program you can use to change the
COM port number that the board reports? Did you check in the BIOS and
see if there's anything in there to disable COM{3,4}?

Basically XFree86.org makes video card drivers for Linux. I'm not sure if
there is any support for the Kyro/Kyro II chipset for Linux, but if you
check out: www.xfree86.org you'll find your answer.

Subject: Linux software RAID mirroring eq. HPT370 RAID mirroring ?
Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 22:22:32 -0300
I am trying to install linux (Mandrake 8.0) on a PC (KT7-RAID motherboard)
as a second system for Windows 98. I am using two RAID mirrored disks for
various data and Linux / windows 98 resides on a separate ATA 66 disk on a
"normal" ide controler.
I can boot perfectly both systems, but the problem is that the two mirrored
FAT32 disks appeares as two separate normal disks under Linux and it's
possible to write independently on the two disks ... unsyncing the mirror.
I have a few questions about it :
1) Do i need to install the HPT370 linux patch (even if it doesn't supporte
the mirroring fonction) or is it already included in the Mandrake 8.0 kernel
?
2) If i can't solve this problem, can i use a software RAID mirror under
linux between the two disks that are mirrored with HPT370 under Windows 98
(i.e. "Hardware HPT370" mirroring and Linux Software mirroring are
compatible ?).
3) What is the VT82C686x bug ? Does it apply to the VT82C686A ship ? How can
it be solve ? Is there other well known bugs of Linux using the KT7-RAID
board ?
Thanks a lot for your help, and please send me a copy of your answers via

Subject: NEC MultiSync LCD1525V
Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2001 01:39:58 GMT
Hi,
I'm using an NEC MultiSync LCD1525V monitor on one of my systems and I'm
having some trouble getting it properly configured in X. I've tried it in
both SuSE 7.1 and Mandrake 8.0 and generally get the same results. Most
apps look fine unless I move them around the screen or scroll inside them,
when I do that everything seems to blur rather badly.
I've noticed that in SuSE it only shows up in the monitor list if I choose
to use version 3.3.6 of X. In Mandrake it shows up regardless of which
version of X I choose, but if I try 4.04 the colors get really messed up.
So bad that I can't even read anything on the screen. A few applications,
most recently Borlands Kylix but a few others too, even have the color
problems in 3.3.6, making them unusable.
I've tried the monitor on two systems, one using an Elsa Erazor III LT
graphics card, and one using and STB Velocity 128. Both systems work fine
with other monitors and have the same problems with the NEC, so I don't
think the problem lies in the video card.
I've been using the front ends provided for X configuration with SuSE and
Mandrake since I'm not that familiar with the config files for X. SuSE let
me manually set the refresh rate, which I set within the ranges specified
in the monitors manual, but it did no good. I'm running at the monitors
native resolution ( 1024x768 ) and I've tried all the available color depth
settings.
Does anybody else use one of these monitors? Anybody know how to configure
it so that it works better than this?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Karl

Subject: D-Link DI-701 DSL router setup help
Date: 14 Jun 2001 22:05:16 -0400
I will be getting DSL service through Verizon soon......so they tell
me. I plan on sharing this connection with 3 computers, but will
primarily be using my Red Hat 7.0 machine as web/mail server. I have
registered a domain name and dynamic DNS service through EasyDNS.com.
In order to share this connection, I plan on using the D-Link DI-701
router/gateway. The manuals give excellent instructions for setting up
the router...in Win 98. Lots of help. Essentially, it tells me to use
hyperterminal (cringe) to connect to the serial port in COM 2 or to telnet
to the default 192.168.0.1 333 (port 333).
I have connected the gateway to my hub on the uplink port as well as
connected to the second serial port on my computer (ttyS3). I still
cannot telnet to the gateway to configure it. Has anyone done this who
can lend me a hand?
TIA

Obviously whether or not you can set up a server on a DSL line depends on your
terms of service with Verizon. Many DSL providers frown on this, and in fact
block popular ports such as 80 (http).

I don't have that type of router, but I have set up other devices that are
similar. If you want to use telnet, what you have to do is temporarily set
your network connection with a fixed IP address in the appropriate range,
something like:
# ifdown eth0
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# telnet 192.168.0.1 333
If you set up the router to do DCHP for the clients, then configure you
ethernet for dynamic addressing.
Note, that generally the second serial port is ttyS2, not ttyS3, in which case
you would use kermit or minicom to talk to it.

My eepro100, built into a SCSI card, also fails to negotiate when
connected to a dual speed switch. Worked when connected to a 10Mbps
hub, fails with the 10/100MBps switch, in Windows and Linux. Works
with both when forced to 100.
I compile the driver into the kernel, so I use a boot parameter:
ether=0,0,0x30,eth0
That's 0x10 for full duplex, 0x20 for 100Mbps, for a total of 0x30.
Adjust to your configuration.
If the driver is loaded as a module, a similar argument can be put
into /etc/modules.conf. I'm not clear on the syntax; check here:

Nope, I never, even as a newbie, reinstalled Unix
to address configuration issues..
Reinstalling Linux for those reasons is a losing
proposition for 2 reasons:
1. You learn nothing about the problem
2. Reinstalling most likely doesn't fix it anyway.
