Because the sound card and CD player have their own private
analogue connection. This allows the CD player to feed audio
directly to the sound card's output circuits, without any
software involvement.

Hi all,

I have a lexmark optra Rn+ laser printer running on a network of unix
machines. I am using LPRng as the print software.

What I would like to do is set up two queues for this printer one for
draft mode (default) and one for high quality mode. I figured I'd set up
two queues and run a filter for the low quality one that filters the ps
file so that it will print in draft mode.

What I need to know is where could I find such a filter? Or how else
could I do this.

Thanks for the help.

I see noone has answered to this yet so I give it a feeble try..

The physical CD player don't use the sound-chips on the soundcard to
modulate
it's input - it's more of a "throughput" than an input. The various
DMA's
and IRQ's and io-port addressing is bypassed. It's probably only some
aplifyer on the soundcard that it passes through - perhaps you even have
active loudspeakers. All it takes is that the CDrom station is set up
correct on the
system - and supports the Audio CD format. (Never heard of one that
doesn't.)
Audio CD isn't wav or mp3 format - those formats would (yet) have to be
preprosessed by some dedicated chipset, like you find on a soundcard.
You can play high quality music from a CD even on an 8 bit card for that
matter.

I learned far more about this than I had originally planned to
when I recently upgraded my mother board...The thing to remember is
that at boot time there is no kernel loaded, and no file system.
Lilo uses BIOS calls to load raw sectors from the hard drive, which
(you hope :-) contain what they need to contain. When you change
lilo.conf and run lilo it uses the filesystem to find where
your image files are, figure out what physical sectors they live
in, and then re-write the boot sector to reflect that.

This is why you can even build a new kernel, copy it over top of
the old one, and, if the old kernel's sectors are still there,
boot the old kernel...

Could be RedHat's marketing. Not necessarily anything to do with which is
"better". Actually, I think there are a number of people out there who have
experience with both. Different distributions on different pc's. I have
Caldera on a pc at work because it seems to have better support for Netware.
I have RedHat on my kids' pc because it came with a book I bought on Linux.

To compile a 2.2.x Kernel for your sound card, you must compile it
directly into the Kernel.  That card, for some reaon, cannot be used as
a kernel module.

The option for it is a aztech radio under the video4linux subsection.

It works for me with gradio.

Is there anyway to make apache do a "redirect" but keep the original URL in

there anyway to do this without writing a CGI-script for it? I currently

Yes, I know XML doesn't allow that. I already mentioned elsewhere that
converting from SGML to XML may be a trivial extra step you need to put in
your tool chain. HTML? HTML never was a proper SGML DTD... it's been
pissed on in later revs until it smells more like SGML, but it's still pretty
broken.

I think that's a case of people believing their own bullshit about how it's
self documenting. That's been a problem since Grace Hopper came up with COBOL.

Inefficient compared to what? Other markup languages? I think you'll find that
personal preference. Having to type :g/^$/s/$/<para>/ after you've been typing
freeform text a while is hardly a big deal.

In my experience so far, I am more interested in uninstalled
packages than in already installed ones.  Unless I am missing
something, all GnoneRPM will do is give you a file list of the
packages on the CDROM.  To me, that is a very poor design decision.
Glint was a bit nicer.  But Glint isn't on RH 6.0. So, I loaded Glint
from my RedHat 4.1 CDs onto my RedHat 6.0 system.  But it will
not run, complaining it cannot import "rpm".  Anyone got any ideas
as to how to correct the problem?

One can, but the easier it is to edit the documentation, the more likely
not only that I'll update it but that other people will update it for me.
A lot more people seem to be willing to patch POD than patch *roff, for
example.

Not everyone is going to have all those tools installed.

I am beginning to see a pattern to my errors.

The problem appears to be that the kernel is NOT autodetecting my RAID
arrays in 2.2.7 and 2.2.10 whereas in 2.2.5 (from Redhat), they are
being autodetected.  I note that the RedHat 2.2.15 indicates 2.2.5-15.
It may be that they are not shipping a stock kernel but rather one
with some patches.  Looking at the software RAID howto, it appears as
if there are newer beta raid patches.  Could it be that the stock
kernel doesn't autodetect and the raidtools distributed by RedHat does
not work well with 2.2.10?  I am unable to start the raid arrays
manually with raidstart.  Raidstart does not recognizing /dev/md0 and
/dev/md1.  Also, fsck fails complaining of a possible zero-length
partition.

I have this card running by compiling support into the kernel. I think
it's 
possible to have support for modules too, but I just did the simple
thing
and compiled it into the kernel. On redhat, the module radio-aztech.o is 
defined and should be there under SuSE too. Try looking at 
/lib/modules/2.2.5*/misc/

You can try using insmod and all that to help loading the modules you
need.
You will have to mess with /etc/conf.modules, which is why I personally
just
compile everything into one kernel.

Let's say you compile everything into the kernel -- If you run make
xconfig in
/usr/src/linux-2.2.10 you will find that the radio is also known as the
Aztech
card. Just accept the defaults (0x350). It is found under "Video for
linux".

You may also have to create the radio device if it is not there. I did
this
(as root):

mknod /dev/radio0 c 81 64
ln -s /dev/radio0 /dev/radio

You won't hear anything until you actually get your sound card working 
though. If you get really annoyed at sound support, and want to hear
something in 20 minutes, try going to www.opensound.com and downloading
the "commercial"
drivers. They cost me $20 but work better than my kernel-compiled
drivers. The
advantage is that you can try them for free, and they are really easy to
install. After a while, they annoy you because the trial version stops
working.

The radio doesn't do anything until you download a program to play it. I 
know about these sites:

I have nothing but problems with RH since 4.0, first, it killed one of
my monitor during auto probing. 2nd. It never allows me to install
completely in all the boxes that I've tried. (5, from old P-133 to brand
new dual cpu full U2WSCSI.)

But I was able to install SuSE, Slackware, FreeBSD on all the same boxes
that chocked RH.

The RH installer never let me pass the probing stage, both in text and
GUI modes.

Subject: Re: Please Help Resolution Change In KDE
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 16:10:14 -0400

i have the same card but a different monitor, what i had to do was set the
resolution to only one in the setup, ie only 1024x768 or only 800x600, this
worked for me.
also, if you are using xf86config, set only one refresh rate setting for hor
and vert hard coding in one instead of a range should fix the problem
