Scanner, TV tuner, PC-TV support on Debian 2.1
Hi: I am trying to find out some information on scanner support for Debian 2.1. Can someone recommend a good scanner for use? Also, what would be a good PC-to-TV card that is supported on Linux. I am looking to run my graphics output to my computer output to my TV (preferably through a S-video connection). Any recommendation on TV-tuner cards and software for Linux? Where can I find info. on USA support for Linux? Thanks in advance. -D
x11amp installation problems
I have been trying to install x11amp for quite sometime now but I keep running into installation problems. I tried it with both the .deb package (from www.debian .org) as well as the source. I get the following error: Libc6 conflicts with apt. FYI: x11amp requires a newer version of libc6 but when I try to install that it says there is a conflict with apt. Any help??? Thanks. -D

RE: awe64 sound problems
I read somewhere that AWE32 driver works only for kernels later than 2.0.36.

RE: Some kde questions
Where did you get the KDE distribution from. I downloaded 1.1.1 from kde.ord (.deb files) but after I installed them, I could not start startkde. I inserted the line in my .xsession file and when I log in through xdm, it simply returns me to xdm instead of starting KDE. Is there a problem with version 1.1.1? -Dinesh -Original Message- From: Joel Keating [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 24, 1999 9:58 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Some kde questions My kde is semi-working. My backspace key acts the same as a delete key should. If i change some things in Xmod keymap it doesn't work at all. Another thing is that I don't get color when i set backgrounds that are .jpg or .gif images.

Kernel 2.2 Upgrade questions
I downloaded the source files for Kernel 2.2.1 from the Debian site. I currently am running Slink (2.0.36) and was hoping to upgrade to 2.2 (good idea???). As I was going through the configuration menus (using make menuconfig) and found that some of the configuration options available under slink are not there. For example Parallel port Zip drive support. Is there a Kernel-HOWTO for the new 2.2 kernel? I would like to find out what options are available and what needs to be turned on and what to be turned off. I also found that some of the option with regard to sound were not the same. When I selected Sound Blaster sound card, there was no prompt or place to enter the IRQ, DMA, etc. info. for the card. I would like to learn a little more about the new kernel and why there is such a big difference in configuration options. I heard that the new kernel is very modular. Does this mean I can have a lean mean kernel and include only the modules I need? Is SMP turned on by default? If so would it make sense to turn it off for single processor systems so as to get better performance? Thanks. -D
Debian applications - where to get them???
I am running into problems getting applications for Debian. 1. I wanted to get the Communicator 4.5 and so I checked the Debian archives. There is a listing for Communicator 4.5 but when I add up the file sizes, they don't match nowhere close to the Netscape Binary posting (of around 12MB). Are there any other files that I should be installing along with these (there are no other dependencies shown on the package listing) ??? 2. I have seen posting on Real G2 player for Linux but I could not find it at www.real.com http://www.real.com . Is there a G2 player for Linux yet or is it still version 5.0? 3. I wanted to download x11amp (also called winamp in the Windows world) to play MP3 files but could not find it anywhere. Any suggestions on where I might be able to get a copy (preferably in .deb format)? (Any suggestions for a better player are also welcome :-) ). Thanks. -D
GNOME vs. KDE
This is not meant to start a debate on which is better but I just want to find some facts about each one. 1. Is Debian more leaning towards KDE or is this just 'news' from the Corel folks? Is there a reason why they chose KDE and not GNOME? 2. Which is faster? 3. Which uses less memory and is more stable? 4. I heard GNOME uses CORBA. What advantage does this give from a system perspective where multiple applications are running? Thanks is advance. Dinesh
Installing Sound Module
I recently installed Slink have been quite happy with its performance except that I am unable to get the sound card working. I have tried a couple of other Linux distributions like Red Hat and Caldera's and have found loading the sound driver as a module was much easier. Is there a program that can do this under Debian also (I mean without recompiling the Kernel - I would like to be able to load it as a module). I have a SoundBlaster AWE32 card. Thanks for any help. -D
