Debian and touch-screens
Hi all. I´m working in a project that we would like to install in a touch-screen compact computer. My intention is to use Debian as the OS, and i'm searching for that kind of hardware with support for Debian/Linux. Most of them support Windows but it´s not clear if Debian will work as well. I've found some support for touch screens (some models), but not clear for integrated/compact systems. Someone knows where to look for?, or has some experience?, some URL?

Re: Re: Re: VT switching broken in Gnome
I had exactly the same problem as you after i upgraded my debian. I think the problem is related to key mappings. To solve the problem you can rename the .Xmodmap file in your home folder to .Xmodmap.bak or whatever you want, so gnome doesn't loads this configuration file.

Does Debian support IDE disks with more than 128GiB or IDE 48bit addressing?
Hi, I have a Samsung disk with 149GiB of space and my experience is mixed. What you know, or you experience with disks with more than 128GiB working with Debian (Woody or Sarge)? As I said my experience is mixed. The motherboard is an Asus A7V with the last BIOS that supports 48bit addressing, have two IDE controllers Ove VIA VT82C686/VT82C586B and the other is Promise 20265. Both of them identify the right size (149Gib) and I can make the partitions with fdisk or cfdisk without problems with Debian kernels 2.4.21-3-k7 and 2.4.20-3-k7 or a personalized 2.4.21 to include lmsensors, i2c, alsa, and nvidia-kernel. I have an woody system with some packages upgraded to sarge. I can make a file system with more than 128GiB if connected to the VIA controller, but connected to the Promise I will have a corrupted file system. - So I believe that kernel 2.4.21 with Promise don't support IDE 48bit. - With VIA controller I have doubts, at least one time I had data corruption. That caused me to lose the extended partition with all my Linux file systems, more than 120GiB of data on LVM volumes.

Lookup during intensive IO
I am lost, I don't know what to do find the cause of the problem. When I put the machine under IO stress the it lookup. It hapens during backup of the machine by the network to an amanda server. Doing tar of the filesystems can lookup the machine. What I have done to try to isolate the problem: - I have run memtest86 during more than one day without errors, to catch memory errors. - I have run burnK7 see if it was a heat problem. The CPU heated until 82 degrees and didn't crash. - With the CPU at 82 degrees I could compile the Linux kernel. And off course the temperature have gone down. - I have tried many kernels: 2.2.19, 2.4.7-686, 2.4.9-k6, 2.4.9-386. And was the same.

Greetings
Here's how I have configured a 870Cxi here, using lprng and magicfilter
under Debian 2.0r3:
1. In my /etc/printcap, I put:
lp|dj870|hpdj870cxi|color|HP Deskjet 870 Cxi @othello
:lp=/dev/lp1
:if=/etc/magicfilter/dj870cxi-filter
:af=/var/log/lpd/hpdj870cxi.acct
:lf=/var/log/lpd/hpdj870cxi.errs
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hpdj870cxi
:mx#0
:sh
2. Created directory /var/log/lpd and both files under it, with the following
ownerships and permissions:
drwxr-s--- 2 lp lp /var/log/lpd
-rw-r- 1 lp lp /var/log/lpd/hpdj870cxi.acct
-rw-r- 1 lp lp /var/log/lpd/hpdj870cxi.errs
3. Ran
checkpc -f
once or twice, thus automatically creating the spool directory and some files
under it.
4. Created /etc/magicfilter/dj870cxi-filter starting from dj550c-filter.
I am using the hpdj driver, which apparently can only print at 300x300 dpi
on this printer (if anyone managed to use it for higher resolutions,
I would be interested in knowing about it).
You can find detailed information about its options from,
ftp://ftp.pdb.sni.de/pub/utilities/misc/hpdj.html (a PostScript manual
is included).
I have used the hp850 driver before (installing gs-aladdin "manually");
this could printer at higher resolutions, but was also not totally free
from problems, particularly bad reproduction of colours with low saturation.
Since the version of the gs-aladdin package installed here does not include
the hp850 driver, I decided to continue using hpdj for now.
Here is the start of my /etc/magicfilter/dj870cxi-filter
(all the remaining lines are equal to those original dj550c-filter);
please note that some lines have been wrapped: each group
of 4 lines starting with a "0" and having "/usr/bin/gs" in it is in fact a
single line (a single entry) in the filter setup file..

5. After you do all this you just have to:
/etc/init.d/lprng stop
/etc/init.d/lprng start
and try to print something...
By the way, with hpdj it may be convenient to do some gamma correction
(I haven't done it yet, with my current config), adding to each `gs'
invocation the name of a file containing for instance
~~~ CUT HERE ~~~
%!
{0.4 exp} dup dup currenttransfer setcolortransfer
or
~~ CUT HERE ~~~
%!
{0.4 exp} settransfer
~~~
But this you may try later on.
I don't remember what used to be the preferred value of the parameter for
gamma correction ("0.4", above) among the users here.
I used to keep this in a filed called /etc/dj870cxi_gamma_correction.ps
I haven't tried Samba with my current setup yet, but did configure it a
few days ago on another machine with an HP LaserJet 6L (also using lprng
and magicfilter) and everything seemed to run smoothly...
but only after replacing the original HP Windows drivers with a fresh
set downloaded from HP (with Windows, I usually feel the need to
follow a brute-force approach).
It would be most desirable if printer manufacturers gave some contribution
to help their printers achieve under Linux the same level of quality
Open Sound System (commercial version) and Debian
Trying to get sound support on a Toshiba 220 CS (which seems to have a Yamaha OPL3-SA3), I checked a few WWW pages on Toshiba laptops, some of which with suggestions which were quite valuable, such as http://www.cck.uni-kl.de/misc/tecra710/ and http://www.suse.de/~rj/english/tosh440CDX.html (especially the suggestions on this one sufficed to make sound work). However, being still somewhat confused about the most appropriate settings (having doubts about MPU-401 support, for instance), I downloaded an evaluation copy of the commercial OSS version from http://www.4front-tech.com/ and tried to use it instead (after, of course, installing a kernel without sound support). I believe that the message below, which I sent to 4Front via http://www.4front-tech.com/support.cgi after a failed installation, may be relevant to others trying to install the commercial version of OSS on their Debian systems. I am currently trying to "tune" my Debian system for use in this laptop (I have been using/installing/administrating Linux systems for several years now but this is my first laptop and I still have a lot of information to browse on APM, PCMCIA and... sound support), and will provide here any information which may be useful to other 220CS owners and/or set up a WWW page with that info (obviously, any suggestions concerning details still difficult to find in the usual documentation or Linux laptop WWW sites would be most appreciated...).

Esteves Greetings I downloaded the evaluation version of OSS for the kernel 2.0.33, in order to try it on a Toshiba 220CS, but `oss-install' failed, giving the output reproduced below (I also append the resulting contents of soundon.log). Since I compiled the 2.0.33 kernel with the proper options for use with OSS, I tried to find the cause for this problem. The problem (or one of them) seems to be in the check_shields.sh script. This reads /usr/include/linux/autoconf.h expecting to find there information about the kernel actually installed. However, the files in /usr/include/linux/ are provided by a libc5 package (libc5-dev). This is the policy followed at least by the Debian distribution (apparently with very good reasons). Under Debian, in order to use information strongly dependent on the actual kernel installed, one should therefore analyze files under /usr/src/linux/include/linux. Adding support for this to OSS would therefore be important at least for Debian users. (Obviously, from the point of view of package management, it would also be most interesting to have the possibility to obtain the commercial OSS available as a Debian package). Since sound support is not an urgent issue for me, I will probably wait for any developments concerning this instead of temporarily making /usr/include/linux a symbolic link to /usr/src/linux/include/linux. I am, however, potentially interested in acquiring OSS when the abovementioned installation problems are corrected. By the way, I suggest that your uninstall script also takes care of removing: - /etc/oss.conf - the link /usr/lib/libOSSlib.so In addition, under Debian: - /dev/sndstat belongs to root:audio and has permissions rw-rw but your installation script makes it belong to root:root and become rw-rw-rw- ; - /dev/mixer0 (14,0) is created when there is already a /dev/mixer (with the same permissions and ownership as above); Thank you very much for your attention J.

You can find information about XVScan at http://www.tummy.com/. It's not free, but you can get it for $50US (it includes source code). I haven't used it yet, but am planning to buy it (currently we only boot M$-DOS/windows when there is a need to use the acquisition and OCR software which came with our ScanJet 4c). If only there was a nice OCR package which could run under Linux... (sometimes I "dream" of starting such a (free OCR) project myself, but... I am aware that there would be a LOT to learn before). Let's hope HP (or some competitor) starts paying more attention to Microsoft-free environments... JM -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
