Any suggestions? TIA _ I have seen several pnp modems with jumpers that enable you to defeat the pnp function , so perhaps you should try that route first. If that is not possible consult /usr/doc/HOWTO//Plug-and-Play-HOWTO, which covers the subject pretty well. Be sure to check your jumper settings for comports. Typical modem settings are COM2 or COM4(ttyS01 or ttyS03) and IRQ3. Wdoze 9x likes to see modems on COM2 so use that as your prefered setting. I've seen isa plug and play refered to often as plug and pray- so good luck. Bernie
mc ignores mouse
I have a an annoying wierd little problem that has been vexing me sorely. I have lost the use of the mouse in Midnight Commander when using the command line interface (i. e. outside of X). The funny thing is that it works under an X-term or E-term window in X. It happened sometime when I upgraded (unintentionally, actually) from 2.2r0 to 2.2r2 and I haven't a clue whats causing it. I have run gpmconfig a few times but the original setting imps2 with appended remarks is the only setting that works. As for my cdwriter problem, determined that the modules and the drivers were OK so dumped xcdroast for gcombust which friends assure me is much better and wil give that a try. Thanks for info on the documentation. Have read the CD WRITER HOW-TO and based the configuration I have on that Call me a glutton for punishment but I like building my own kernels- feel I'm learning something about how Linux works. Thanks, Bernie

And from personal experience ;-), I think I know what you did wrong... You have to specify -audio in the cdrecord options. I didn't and ended up with a similar anti-moisture furniture protector. Hall That leads to the question of how do specify the - audio option using xcdroast. I thought the purpose of a GUI was to automate that sort of thing. A look at /root/.xcdroast/xcdroast.conf doesn't show anything out of the way except my plain ide/atapi cdrom on hdb is not being detected. Why also am I getting these lines at the end ofdmesg |more after I open and close xcdroast without doing anything with it. cdrom: open failed. VFS: Disk change detected on device ide0(3,64) cdrom: open failed. VFS: Disk change detected on device ide0(3,64) ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0) end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 0 Most puzzling and very frustrating. Bernie
cdwriter configuration problems
I have been having trouble getting my cdwriter to work using xcdroast. I got it to the point of writing an audio cd when all it produced was 12 tracks of noise and a new beer coaster. When looking at the ide/scsi devices recognized by xcdroast the cdwriter is shown under both scsi and ide devices and the regular cdrom is not recognized at all. I have enclosed a what I hope is a all the relevant information as to set up. Would somebody also please provide me with some sources on module set-up particularly the instructions recognized by etc/modules.conf and how to connect all those char-major-xxx with the modules, and what modules to add to etc/modules.
