Re: radeon and X: was X won't start: Resolved
Mark, One thing I forgot to mention on this was that I am running unstable with XF86 4.3, though it should work with XF86 4.2, as well. Also, I say use a 2.6 series kernel because the DRI and AGPGART stuff is already in there, no need to build more modules. Yes, it's possible. I've done it before. That doesn't mean it's not a pain in my ass. But, honestly, the only reason why I'm running a 2.6 kernel is because I couldn't get DRI working in a 2.4 series kernel, either. Peace, DAVE

Personally, "Give up" isn't in my vocab. Here's what you do (and what worked for me on my Radeon 8500): 1) download/compile/install a 2.6.0 series kernel, modularizing the Direct Rendering stuff for Radeon, and AGPGART, and whatever your motherboard and processor specific setup is 2) Add agpgart, *motherboard*_agp, ati_agp, *processor*_agp to /etc/modules. 3) Reboot, make sure you didn't mess up your kernel configuration. If you did, go back to one and repeat. 4) add this to your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4: Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Radeon 9700" Driver "radeon" Option "UseFBDev" "true" Option "AGPMode" "4" I'm not sure that AGPMode of 8 is supported, I'm sure somebody will tell you once I send this. Make sure you change the label in the Screen configuration, too. 4) Restart X, look at /var/log/XFree86.0.log and look for this: (II) RADEON(0): Somewhere around there you'll find: (II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled (or disabled).

Re: Learning debian Linux
You know, Debian users need to get over this "commercial distribution" fobia. You are all on the same side. I haven't been reading this list for a couple of months now, and when I signed up again, the first thing I read is another rant about RedHat. It's getting pretty boring. Debian works for me. For other people, Mandrake, or SuSe, or RedHat or Slackware, or Knoopix, or Gentoo might be better. I don't bother them about their choice, but try to be a good Linux user to them. And I try to recommend distribution depending on what they want to do with their system and how comfortable they are with computers. Remember, it's libre not gratis. Well put. When I first starting using Linux, a friend of mine helped me install debian. I don't want to necessarily say it was a huge mistake, but it was at the time. Because Debian was so damned hard to use and there was not a good office program (OOo was pre-1.0 and the filters sucked), I ended up back with Win98, then 2k, and finally XP. Last year, I finally had the time and resources to play with Linux again and built myself a box, finally installing Mandrake. Why Mandrake? It was an easy install to get me where I needed to be. When I started playing with and tweaking, Mandrake wasn't enough and I harkened back to those few months when I actually had debian working and remembered how easy it was to upgrade/update and tweak. I installed debian and have loved it ever since. About 6 months ago, I obtained a laptop and put Mandrake on it, again, because it was easy and I was unsure of the laptop. Because I was used to the debian way, I hated Mandrake, but it was an easy install. I got so fed up one day that I popped in a Knoppix CD. I thought about my options and did an HD install on a 4 gb partition (on a 10 GB hdd), leaving /home/ intact and formatting a couple of other partitions. When Knoppix rebooted, I moved /home/ back to it's previous partition, set up /var/ and then uninstalled all the crap that said "knoppix-" or "knx-". It wasn't easy, I ended up having to copy a file from my Linux box and putting it in place by hand. Total time to install/de-knoppix-ize: about 2.5 hours. Bonus: everything was configured. Double bonus: I had a debian system (which, I will say, still would not be properly configured). The point, you ask? There are multiple ways of going about things. Mandrake is still Linux, and for newbies, Mandrake, SuSE, or RedHat are really the only way to go. What do I envision as the next step? Managing to get knoppix on a harddrive and then remove all the knoppix/knx packages (which are good for a CD distro, not for a hd install). Actually, when I purchase a new laptop in a few months, that's what I intend to do. I'll be damned if it's not easy. And really, to get Linux on a desktop, we don't need more packages, we need easier setup and configuration. In my experience, that's where Mandrake and Knoppix far exceed a traditional boot floppy or debian cd install. If the individual has progressed in their Linux experience to a point where they are comfortable setting up everything using dpkg or by hand, then that's fine. But, most of us don't have that time or knowledge. That's why Mandrake exists and so many people use it. Peace, DAVE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

kernel-2.6.0-test9 compile issue

I'm not sure, though, as I run Gaim from CVS, which I would recommend. As an added bonus, Gaim comes default with the other protocols enabled. I'm not sure how this runs in testing/stable, but you can get Gaim from CVS by adding this into your sources.list: #Gaim CVS deb http://people.debian.org/~robot101/gaim unstable cvs deb-src http://people.debian.org/~robot101/gaim unstable cvs Peace, DAVE Joao Clemente wrote: Is there a way to apt-get gaim and get the other protocols enabled?

Re: Installing device drivers
1. Yes you need to unzip it. If it is a .gz file, use gunzip. If this gives you a tar file, 'tar tvf ' will show you what is in it, and 'tar xvf ' will extract the files. The file I downloaded is actually a .zip, so I'm good there. However, I'm using Win2K, so getting it onto an ext2 formatted floppy will be an issue. Do I need to put it on an ext2 floppy or will Linux recognize an MSDOS formatted floppy no problem? 2. Once you unzip it, what do you have? If it is a .c file, then you have something you can use the next time you compile the kernel. If you have a .o file, then you have a kernel module which might be loaded using 'insmod'. In the .zip there are the following files: control.adsp.ahal.apctel.optserial.aMakefile ptmodule.c Don't be afraid to post all the gory details to the group. Exactly what modem is it, where did you get the driver, and what is the driver called? The modem is a CompUSA HSP56 modem using a PCTEL chipset. That is all the information we were able to gather about the modem. Did you check out http://www.linmodems.org ? or http://www.grapevine.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html ? I actually got the driver from a link off of linmodems.org (thanks to my friend). Thanks for the helpDAVE
Installing device drivers
I recently have decided to install Debian on my computer after a long absence from the Linux world. However, I bought a cheap Winmodem and after a long, involved search I have actually found a device driver for Linux. After consulting with a couple of friends, none of us were able to figure out, remember, or actually find (in the man pages) how to install device drivers for hardware not supported in the kernel. I have not actually installed Debian yet (because of the modem), I can install the driver during the install. Basically, my question comes down to this: if I put the driver on to a 3.5" diskette, does it need to be zipped (as I downloaded it) or unzipped? Thank you...DAVE

I've been trying to update my KDE to the newest stable version (apt-get install task-kde), however, when I try to install, I get the error message 'Depends: libqt2 but it is not installable.' I tried to install libqt2, which gave me the message that libqt2.2 is now being used. I then tried to install libqt2.2, which said it was the newest version.

I am going to *attempt* to recompile the kernel with a new custom number & remake the ALSA modules. However, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? Thanks, DAVE
Re: ALSA & missing symbols
Recompile with 2.4.0 and the alsa source (use the kernel-package utility) and be modest in what you select for the kernel (ex. no developmental code) and the problem should be fixed. 2.2.18pre21 and 2.2.18 seem to be fu-jucked up. The packages you'll need are kernel-source-2.4.0, alsa-source, alsaconf, kernel-package. Read the README.debian files in their doc directories for more info. --Warren On Sunday 04 February 2001 14:21, Brian McGroarty wrote: > If I use a kernel-image package and the corresponding alsa-modules > package for 2.2.18 or 2.2.18-pre21 in unstable, I get a load of > missing symbols. > > Are these out of sync, or is this indicative of something else amiss > on my system?
Dual Monitors
Hi, I've been trying to get my system to work with dual monitors, and I'm having a little trouble. Card 1 is a Voodoo3 3000 PCI with a generic monitor attached Card 2 is an ATI Rage Pro GB (Mach 64) with an NEC MultiSync XV14 attached The X Server reports that it is unable to find device when it is started. However, the console itself recognizes the card. Any thoughts? Thanks, DAVE
