Subject: Re: alsa
As a followup I did everything by the book for the installation of
ALSA. It was actually the fault of their documentation which said to
edit modules.conf. Well, mine was already edited from version .5.9 of
ALSA (using .5.10 now) so I didn't edit it as I didn't need to. I also
had seen, during my troubleshooting, logs that mentioned ALSA was trying
to load the driver for the opla32 driver , or whatever its name is. I
wondered why or where ALSA got this from. It turned out ALSA had put its
own configuration settings into modules.conf (or maybe they got in there
when I ran alsaconf but I'm not sure if that caused it or not) but at
the end of the file so I didn't know. After finding that out I replaced
the line that loaded the opl driver and put in its place my driver,
ymfpci. That did the job and I got to open my mixers.
But the driver for my sound card still has bugs (sound slows way down
and makes any file unplayable) so i have to wait for yet another version
for it to be fixed, hopefully.

Hi,
using dejanews I have seen many requests of help with such a subject, but no
solution...:-((
So, the point is: I have an ATI Xpert@Play 98, 4mb, and I compiled, in kernel
2.2.18, the atyfb, and no vesafb. It is not written anywhere that you don't
have to include vesafb: there is no atifb.txt. But there is a matroxfb.txt and
there it is said that including a specific fb you need to avoid the generic
vesa, so I assumed that the same holds for ATI.
Point 1: is this true?
Point 2: which numbers do I need to pass to lilo when it asks for vga?
There are numbers in vesafb.txt (I tried them with a kernel compiled with
vesa and they work for vesa) and there are numbers in matroxfb.txt, which
are different from the vesa's ones. So I guess that the numbers depend on
the fb.
So, which are the numbers for atyfb?
Thanks a lot
Fabio

I've recently done a couple of RH 6.2 installs and both were very
smooth. The first was on a vanilla P133 with 6.2 installed as 'server'
on a uni-boot box with a new, empty disk. No problems at all and when
I added a DDS2 DAT tape later that just worked without any kernel
rebuilds, etc. This was my first ever Linux install and I was
impressed; much easier than wrestling with windoze 95 installation and
only one reboot!
More recently we put RH 6.2 on a Compaq box as a dual boot with NT4.
NT4 was pre-existing, so I had to manually define the partitions.
Again this was a 'server' installation and there have been no problems
at all.
I'm using Teraterm and PuTTY as telnet/ssh clients and WS-FTP95 as the
ftp client. All work well. I also have Samba and Apache douing useful
things with remarkably little pain. In fact the only part of 6.2 that
is flaky is the Linuxconf release. Its NIC configuration is part
broken and user management doesn't see 'nobody', but you can easily
work round that.

Doesn't running a squid proxy (or an apache proxy) cache fix even
netscape? I'm pretty sure that you can set squid to behave any way you
feel like, pretty well. Serving out old docs when it can't get
new ones from the net is its _default_ behaviour.
In other words, I think you're just asking "why aren't I using a

Yes, well, after the at&f0 i doubt that anything else is noticed by

Eccch. Do you really need that? L0 turns off loudness. M1 turns on the
loudspeaker. Point?
S7 probably can be forgotten about. Read the manual yourself.
The rest isn't very interesting. The X4 is very useful.

My "example" is an experiment that tells him and me whether it "works

It's up to the filter if he has any filter, whatever his printer. The
first thing one would like to know is if his printer works, and if it
understands postscript, and if not, what. After that, one needs to know
if the previous thing in the chain leading up to his printer works,
which is the filter he now tells us he is talking about ...

It does. I can't make those checks for him. I can't spend time
hypothesizing possible scenarios that might or might not fit his
situation. I need facts.
What he has said is "my car doesn't work properly", and what we are
discussing is "his garage door is stuck".

To elaborate a moment, since BH may have a confusion here: both
postscript and non-postscript printers generally print ascii. PS
printers detect PS and interpret it as appropriate. If they don't "get
it" when they see the first few lines of input, they go on to print the
input as ascii all the way through till the end.
This leads to people being able to print reams of postscript source
code on postscript printers veeeery easily ... !

Hi,
We use redir with inetd to redirect requests for 192.168.1.2:80 to
192.168.1.10:80.
It work fine; But a problem occur when I add another ip adress on my
ethernet card - lets say 192.168.1.3.
If I try to do a redirection with this new ip address on port 80 to
192.168.1.20:80, in fact redir do the redirection to 192.168.1.10:80 or say
me that another program is binding on that port.
What is the matter with redir?
Thanks,
Bye

I run rdate up to 4x a day from cron. On my Red Hat 6.0 machines, it is
in /usr/bin/rdate and there is a man page for it.
