Re: [Cooker] network card list is missing a name!
No, actually I am not using linuxconf. What I said was the card was not in linuxconf's list of available drivers. I also said it is not in MCC's Network Wizard list either. You see I do some checking on my own before I post. This is how I know the lists are incomplete not because I use linuxconf. I use MCC for most of my base configurations and then generally hand edit the scripts the rest of the way. As to lspcidrakeYou are pretty un-familiar with this post or you wouldn't have asked that. Results of lspcidrake are USELESS as that is/was not the problem. The card is recognized as a Myson 803 device just fine (PCI Vendor ID=1516 PCI Device ID=803). The actual problem was just simply adding the cards name and driver (which is already installed by default in Mandrake) to the list of names in either MCC Net Wizard. or in linuxconf. This was done by adding the line: fealnx Myson 803 based (Asound ALM02) to the /usr/lib/linuxconf/kmodules.list file. All is resolved now thanks to Ben.

I tell everyone who will listen not to use linuxconf unless the regular utils don't work. Why not use the tools that Mandrake writes? On a different note, what does 'lspcidrake' say? Does it show the fealnx driver as being associated with your network card? If yes, then the Mandrake utils would have done it from the beginning because they use the entries in pcitable. If no, then it must not be correct in pcitable either.

Re: [Cooker] Missing drivers / 9.0 BETA - Bug report / Networking
Please dis-regard this posting as it is old news and a non-issue now. The answer was to edit the /usr/lib/linuxconf/kmodules.list file. The card will be added in release hopefully.

Re: [Cooker] network card list is missing a name!
Here is the output of lspci -v and lspcidrake -v as you requested. I had sent this once before though. The card, as I mentioned before is supported and works fine. The driver (fealnx.o) or the card (Myson Technologies 803 or Asound ALM02) does not show up in the list yet modprobe fealnx works great as well as the line alias eth0 fealnx in modules.conf. Basically all I am asking is for this card to be added to the list of available network card drivers under netconf or Mandrake Control Centers Network Wizard as the driver IS included with Mandrake and has been since 8.0 days. I know I must seem impatient and I am sorry for that but I have been clearly asking this for quite some time and now as close to a final release as you are it seems that 9.0 will go out with this slight oversight unchecked as well. I was the one to initially work with Jeff Garzik to get the changes made for this driver to compile under 8.0's 2.4.x kernel. The original linux driver shipped with the card was for an ancient kernel (2.0.4?). It has been included with Mandrake ever since Jeff Garzik updated the driver.

Re: [Cooker] network card list is missing a name!
Yeah I looked at those files and they even have the card listed (Vendor=1516 Myson, ID=803, driver=fealnx) and to use fealnx as the driver! The problem lies elsewhere. These files just list the known PCI Vendor/ID codes which is not where my problem exists. I can tell that I am being WAY misunderstood here. The problem is _NOT_ weather or not the card is detected (because it is) and the problem is _NOT_ that Mandrake doesn't have a driver (because it does). The problem is simply this: If you go into linuxconf or Mandrake Control Center and got to either ones network section and try to set this card up, at some point in the process you are presented with a drop down list that displays a number of supported cards (IE...3COM, NE2000, etc). _HERE_ is the problem! The card is missing from the list even though it is supported by Mandrake! THIS LIST IS INCOMLPETE! Now _I_ know to just type in fealnx as I was the one who got this darn driver supported by working with Jeff Garzik back in 8.0 days but a new user would not know to hand type the word fealnx as it is obscure and non-intuitive. They would then assume that the card is not supported! In fact you can only type it in manually in linuxconf network tab (netconf card(x) kernel module). You don't have this option in Mandrake Control Center Network Wizard as it will not let you type it in. How can I either A)Manually edit the drop down list provided by the above mentioned GUI Config apps. or B) Get someone who KNOWS (as I do not) how to fix this drop down list and get them to understand that the card is detected, supported, and installed in basic install yet the drop down list is incomplete and needs to have this card added!

[Cooker] Small annoyances in RC3
These are not really bugs...more left out than bugs really. 1. I had posted back in Beta4 days about a supported network card not showing in list of available cards and it is still missing. Details are as follows: Card: Asound ALM02 (Myson 803 chipset) Supported: YES (Since Mandrake 8.0) Driver: fealnx.o.gz Problem: When in network config (Netconf or Network Wizard in Mandrake Control) you have a drop down list to select your network card. This card is NOT listed even though the driver has been in Mandrake since I worked with Jeff Garzik back in Mandrake 8.0 days to get it 2.4 compatible. 2. When in install I select DEVELOPMENT option (recommended install not expert). The install goes fine. When I log into Mandrake/KDE I begin to compile needed stuff (NVIDIA drivers for GeForce2 MX 400) and I get complaint...No Kernel headers installed!!! How can you install development packages with no headers?? In fact after some checking seems KDevelop or other development packages are missing as well! The only tools listed under KDE Menu/Development/Environments is IDLE (The Python shell). I would think if a user checks Development packages in install that more than this should be installed. Still, if these are the only things I have to worry about in this magnificent Distro...I am OK with that. You guys have done a bang up job and I am glad to be using Mandrake 9.0 as I have been glad to use Mandrake 7.0, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2! They have all been good and getting better all the time. Keep up the great work Team Mandrake! David

I have been asking Jeff Garzik about this one for some time and have written here a few times but no response. The cards driver is installed as all others are in the /lib/modules/uname -r/kernel/drivers/net directory and is installed by default so why is this card not in the driver list? Mandrake 8.2 even detects the card and sets it up on install! I have road runner though so I have more configuring to do always. It would help if the card was in the list. David

The cards driver is installed as all others are in the /lib/modules/uname -r/kernel/drivers/net directory and is installed by default so why is this card not in the driver list? Mandrake 8.2 even detects the card and sets it up on install! I have road runner though so I have more configuring to do always. It would help if the card was in the list. David

Re: [Cooker] PS2 mouse problem during install
I believe I posted an answer to this same question yesterday? The man is right..scroll first always does the trick for me as well. I always set mine up as generic PS/2 wheel mouse as well (even though it was a Genius Netscroll) for good measure. I have NEVER had a bit of trouble out of it doing it this wasy. Keep mouse still during test until you have clicked middle button and scrolled up and down a few times. You must do these things until the red lights are coming on in the right places at the right times then it is fine. David kernel panic... Human device behind keyboard is causing an unknown error!

With my second install of 9.0RC2 tho, I discovered something: If I do not use the mouse at all and just use the keyboard to Tab and Enter my way thru the first few screens of the install, when I hit enter after choosing my mouse, the test screen works correctly the first time.

Re: [Cooker] PS2 mouse problem during install
Actually, I have found that when the Emulate 3rd button option is set in XFree86Config-4 that this is when my mouse stops responding properly the way you mention! I have to delete that line and either add or verify the line ZAxisMapping 4 5 is present. Mandrake does have a known issue with this problem but last I heard it was only when FIRST setting the mouse up and then only with a Genius Netscroll Mouse. I just scroll the wheel a while and hit the wheel button until the lights on the image of the mouse (in test screen) light up correectly, then all is OK to MOVE the mouse around. Never click OK until the mouse is responding properly. Sometimes I may have to even use the keyboard to CANCEL which brings me back to the Choose Mouse screen and I use keyboard to re-choose my mouse (Generic wheel mouse works best for me). Then I check again with the test screen and all should work on the second time around. Cheers, David kernel panic... Human device behind keyboard is causing an unknown error!

At a certain point in the install, the mouse pointer kept jumping to one corner. Same behaviour in KDE when you finally get it running. Fixed the problem by enabling 'emulate 3d button' in the X config file. I check the install. If I'm not mistaking, there used to be a checkbox for emulating a third button... but, it's not there anymore, so I cannot enable emulation upon install... Don't know if this was fixed since beta 1 though. Geert. Quoting Peter Ruskin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Tuesday 17 Sep 2002 09:24, Buchan Milne wrote: John Rebecca wrote: Hello all.

Re: [Cooker] PS2 mouse problem during install
You wrote. same here, but I have the same problem with a real PS2 mouse. I only use PS/2 mouse and have this problem. I would have no problem with the mouse even being disabled until the test screen since that seems to fix the problem, Why disable? It works fine if you make sure to move only the scroll and button until the lights on the image show the correct motions. Then it is safe to move around with mouse and if it doesn't just use keyboard to hit cancel button (tabbing to button still works) and re-setup the mouse from the list of available types again. When you are done just test again and repeat until you have the right setup for you. Sure using the keyboard is a pain but it's only a couple of minutes while you setup you mouse. P.S. The Drakeconf mouse utility has the same issue as they are the same setup scripts. So even if they remove from install you still have to deal with it after you are in the desktop!
