Re: Thinkpad 560 - some info, a couple questions

1999-10-20 Thread Marius Aamodt Eriksen
Hi again,

Have you tried the linux tpctl ? in that case, what does "tpctl --info-all" 
report?

Just curious, to compare it with mine.

Marius.

LyX + Postscript

1999-09-12 Thread Marius Aamodt Eriksen
Hi,
I'm having problems with LyX.  When viewing a document created in LyX (either 
via Postscript of DVI) LyX produces blank output; just a blank page.  All the 
components that are needed seem to be there (dvips, tex, etc.)
Has anybody here experienced the same thing?  Any solutions?

Marius.

WordPerfect Trouble

1999-09-01 Thread Marius Aamodt Eriksen
Hi,
I'm trying out Wordperfect 8.0.  First of all, the installer couldn't find 
libXpm.so.4, I fixed this by linking the library in /usr/X11R6/lib to /usr/lib. 
I installed wp with the text-mode install, however, it segfaults when i try to 
run it.  Has anybody here experienced this before?  Any ideas?  Feedback?

TIA,
Marius.

parport0 has no irq.

1999-08-24 Thread Marius Aamodt Eriksen
Hi, I've set up my system for PLIP, and when I try to load the plip module, I 
get an error message that parport0 has no IRQ.  When trying to load the module 
with parameters (i.e. insmod plip irq=5), the system complains that irq is an 
invalid parameter.

Any ideas?

TIA,
Marius.
