Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To all those suffering Sig 11 faults with Cyrix/IBM 6x86MX PR chips...
First, who do I blame? Cyrix or IBM?
Second, if a chip is known to flake out just installing Linux can it be
said to be a true 8086 based improvement?
Third, I just got an AMD 150MHz K6-2 3Dnow replacement. No hangs, no Sig
11 messages. No worries at all...
Fourth, I'll ultra narked with having had a CPU I can't change, for 18 months,
which has been occasionally crashing software based on CPU load! BOLLOCKS! Full
marks to linux for letting me diagnose the problem, but I've erased 95,98 and NT
for crashes which now appear to be CPU based!
FLAME **IBM/CYRIX** (whichever...)
(I'm using the reincarnation of a 12 year old IBM, have installed motherboards,
CPU's, RAM, cards on other computers, and my own, I take extra care... So how
come this F*ing chip is the first to F*up?!)
Ah, I feel slightly better for that...

Oh and as my pennies worth : Don't we need a

Hmm. The closest thing in the database is the LBP-460, which I have
listed as a paperweight. It's PCL emulation is in software ;(
I can't find either the 460 or 465 on the Canon web site, although I
have a live URL for a 460 FAQ page in the database. Canon sure

I am using an ensoniq card that is virtually identical. The mixer settings
under Linux work a little funny, play with them some and see if you can get
sound. That card has a _bunch_ of different analog channels (for voice
modem, multiple cd-roms, mic, line in, etc), and both the windows and the
linux drivers seem a little confused about what mutes what and which sliders
control the volume of which. I usually (as any self respecting engineer
would) just keep slapping sliders and pressing buttons until I hear a noise.
I forget which mixer I am using... I can dig it up if you keep having
problems. Both the Linux and the Windows (Creative driver w/ directx) mixer
behave oddly, but with enough guessing both seem to work fine.
In other words, try giving it a few "virtual whacks", and play with every
virtual knob.
Hope this advice is not too technical :)

Subject: Building a Linux System?
Date: Fri, 07 May 1999 20:45:51 GMT
I currently run RedHat Linux 4.2 on a 486DX4/100, and I'm planning to
build my own Linux system when I get the money (which probably won't be
too far off from now). However, it's clear that there is less of a
hardware/driver selection when it comes to Linux machines.
Here's my question: can anyone mention a good list of parts to buy? I'm
weary of buying a prebuilt machine because:
1. I might not get the stuff I want
2. I must run Linux and Win98 (for the family)
I'm thinking of a single-CPU Pentium II or Pentium III machine using IDE
or UDMA drives (I don't want to spend too much money... no more than
$2000). I also want a card with 3DFX support, as well as a sound card.
So I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on motherboards, monitors,
drives, sound cards... everything. Also, does anyone know if Linux
supports the ATI All-In-One video card (I think that's what it's
called... it has support for video and audio capture), or is there a
better solution for video and audio capture? Remember, all of this must
run under Win98 and Linux, and I can't spend too much. Thanks.

First, thank you for letting me post here. I normally do not SPAM
people, however, since all of this equipment is new, and is VERY
LOW PRICED, I thought my fellow Linuxers would want to know.
See auctions.amazon.com and search for "Linux" to find some of the
best analog equipment starting at $25 and $55 for ALL NEW COMPONENTS
with NO RESERVE PRICE. These pieces are new, great for startups or
small business needs/customers and come in original packaging--most
of the static bags are unopened!
Digital network upgrades forces sale, my loss is your gain!
Included are:
2 Port Sangoma Frame Relay/X.25 Card
GTEK 6-Port Modem Super Serial Card w/pig tail cable
Equinox SST Modem Pool (takes 16 modems)
Cyclades 16 Port Cyclom Ye Card/DB-25 Chassis
Cyclades 8 Port Cyclom Zo Card/DB-25 Octopus cable
These work great with either Windows NT or Linux, and of
course, most other UNIX products. Will COD to any US location.
Take Care.
Rob!

You can count the memory chips on them and figure out the
bit-width of your memory. Depending on the specific module
this can be very simple, but can also be very tricky.

Absolutely. It's merely a question of the only driver software being
only for Windows, and the protocols needed to write free software
being undocumented. Some "GDI" printers are supported under
non-Windows systems like OS/2 and the Macintosh.
It may be useful to point out there there *are* "WinPrinters" which
are supported by free software. This support is usually the result of
a reverse engineering project. All printers could be supported but
for the fact that the largest amount of effort would be needed for the
cheapest printers; there's little incentive if similarly priced PCL
alternatives exist, and less incentive still when the only the
crappiest printers need all this extra work.
The following printers are among the "WinPrinters" which work with
free software:
- The Lexmark 7000/7200/5700/5000 all work at 600dpi color and mono
due to the heroic efforts of Henryk Paluch. There is also a 1200
dpi mono driver from Stephen Taylor for the 5700.
- The Okidata Okipage 4w supposedly works perfectly with the driver
kit from Marcin Dalecki, who reverse engineered this printer's
protocol.
- The Brother HL-720 and HL-730 are supported perfectly by a new
Ghostscript driver.
That said, there are still reasons not to buy most of the above
printers:
- The Lexmarks are the cheapest printer possible. A new cartridge
for the cheap Lexmarks costs 50% of the cost of the printer (which
wasn't much to begin with). The per-page cost is poor, at best.
There's a reason thee things are free with a new computer. ;)
- Comments in the Okipage 4w driver readme suggest that unlucky use
could make the printer melt itself. This hardly sounds like a
robust mechanism...
- The low-cost Brothers are often characterized as flimsy. They do
work at 100% with free software, though, and are probably quite
suitable for low-volume printing.

Bert,
You have to specify a hostname for your linux-box, other than localhost!
Put an entry in your /etc/hosts with a selfchosen hostname and IP adress
(e.g. in the private class C networks ip range 192.168.0.x; for an
explanation of the private addresses see the net-3-howto)
I had the same error when I installed RedHat 5.2 and this worked for me.

During the bootup everything seems to work fine : the 2 Channels are displayed

Using the 3940 under Windoze works too.
Booting from a SCSI-CDRom attached to Channel A or B works also.
Linux ( Kernel 2.0.36 ) finds only one Channel.
In /proc/pci there are two Devices for the 3940 mentioned, but Channel B
is not working.

I have a HP LaserJet 4MP which used serial connection to connect with Redhat
Linux ver 5.2, I already installed teh printer driver "hp4mp", it works fine
when I print ASCII testing, but it got error message once I try to print
postscript testing.
The "40 ERROR" definitation is :
"The printer encountered an error while transferring data from the computer.
If you are using the serial I/O, you might have caused this error by turning
the computer ON or OFF while the printer was on line; or your printer's baud
rate or parity was not the same as the computer's."
then I tried to change the closing_wait and closing_wait2 into higher
number, it stills doesn't work. THen I tried another which is matching the
baud rate speed on the printer and serial port are the same (57600, 9600,
etc), it also got the error message.
Anyone have any idea?

I prefer the alsa driver because it uses more of the cards features and

I dunno about pcmcia 3.0.10, but certainly back in 3.0.5 days (and maybe 2.2.3
kernel), I used a 1460 adapter. You do have to compile scsi support into the
kernel (I had problems when I compiled it as a module). You might want to
check if /proc/scsi/scsi is created when the card is inserted, and if so, what
devices are present. For the scanner, you will need scsi generic support
compiled in as well (or if a module, loaded), and obviously for the dat you
need scsi tape support compiled in.

Try posting this question to comp.os.linux.networking. Somebody here could
probably handle this question, but you might get a faster response on the
networking newsgroup.

I am a very beginer in Linux.
I have got a LBP-465 (a "winPrinter").
Does anyone know if there is any way to use it under linux.
Thanks a million for your help.

Yup. that, and your hotmail address. Their fscking spam generator is
working overtime, and this newsgroup is the only one I don't have
hotmail as a blanket kill in my killfile.
That said, the TYAN Trinity, S1590S baby AT mobo seems to be a fine one,
and I have a 400 mhx AMD K6-2/3DNow, with 64 megs of pc100 memory that
seems to be happy except when I run the rc5 client, the overtemp alarm
goes off entirely too quickly.
The general consensus seems to be that the thermometer in the bios is a
bit bogus. Other than that, the board has been zero problems that
weren't configuration related.
Cheers, Gene
