[expert] Sound Blaster PCI 128
I have run both Mandrake 6.0, 6.1, and now Oxygen 7.0b. I have spend many nights and days recompiling kernels trying to get the SB 128 to work, to no avail. I have also posted many messaes to the comp.os.linux.hardware with no solution. Can anyone please tell me how to get the SB PCI 128 to work. It is if something is muting the card. The sound card seems to be configured correctly, just no sound comes out. I have both Windows 98 and Linux on the same machine, it works like a dream under Win98. All the cables are plugged in ... I am unable to find the SoundConfig on 7.0b, seems it didn't install. But with 6.1, I ran sndconfig, it found the card as a ES1371, but I have tried to run the CD player + mixer, but no sound. The kernel reports this ... es1371: version v0.19 time 14:12:09 Dec 23 1999 es1371: found adapter at io 0xb400 irq 11 es1371: features: joystick 0x0 es1371: codec vendor revision 0 es1371: codec features none es1371: stereo enhancement: no 3D stereo enhancement It comes on IRQ 11, even in Win98, it resets it to IRQ 7 .. I have tried the Sound Card Support in the Kernel in both modes Y and M ES1370 and ES1371 Support M and Y Sound Blaster 100% Compatibale config, to IRQ 7 and 11, DMA 1 I have tried both the KDE desktop which I am currently running and the GNOME desktop.

I would have thought that fragmentation could only occur if a packet that was _bigger_ than the MSS was to be sent, so you _should_ advertise a big limit. Of course, the effective value that will be used is still negotiated with the other end (your ISP) but it makes sense to allow for bigger values, if the other end also supports them ... On the other hand, with bigger packets what you can have is not fragmentation but transmission errors (especially with modem links) where the retry will have to transmit the whole packet again ... -- Jean-Louis Debert[EMAIL PROTECTED] 74 Annemasse France old Linux fan

Re: [expert] Port Forwarding I guess
Very simple. However, you should be asking this in the RedHat mailing list. I have tested the following procedure on Mandrake 6.1, there might be differences... Basically, instead of forwarding the port, which involves very complicated techniques, make the mail arrive on the Linux machine, and forward it to the exchange server. Start Linuxconf, go to Network/Sendmail, then Special (domain) routing. Add a route, in Destination, write your domain name, and in Forwarder, enter the name of your Exchange server.

Re: [expert] Re: Proposal: Source file package format (summary)
I thought about this issue for a long time... And I came up with a compromise. - The .tar.gz (or .bz2) source file format is ideal, because it's for any platform. - Source RPMS not only contains the .spec and main source, but often contains patches, additional source files, documentation, etc. - Often, you have different rpms, for RedHat, Mandrake, SuSe, Caldera, and others, with some subtle differences. What I would suggest is having the .tar.gz source file, plus another file, with a .build-rh.rpm , .build-mdk.rpm .build.deb extension. That way, the author only has to maintain his source code, support for particular distributions are found in a small separate file. You could even have a .build-rh-contrib.rpm or .build-mdk-official.rpm, so you know whether this is an official rpm or not. It would be up to the author of the application to decide to put or not the build files on the ftp site. Write me your comments on this!

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Thanks. Hi Paul Sounds like you have some Gnome-program running there. That, at least, is the only way that I have seen this happen before. Gnome has some "interesting" wooden backgrounds. Do you have more Gnome-based programs, then run one and see if that looks the same. If it does, it is indeed the Gnome theme that is installed. In that case you'dhave to switch to the Gnome desktop and change the background theme in there.

I added the correct parameters to lilo.conf and re-run lilo to apply the changes and it didn't work. i changed the make file also and I made the dependecies again with make dep also I ran the make xcongif program and I changed the config for my scsi card form module to compile it in the kernel with the "y" option and it stills do not recongnize my card. I run the intallation program again to see if it recognizes my card with the right parameters and It did it. So Does it mean that I will need to reinstall my O.S again?

[expert] lilo.conf, append= {SCSI emulation}
In a nutshell, I have a Mandrake 6.1 setup , and I'd like to use the SCSI
emulation for one or both of my drives, using append="HDD=IDE-SCSI"
I use a boot-disk to launch Linux (2 Hard Drives, hda is winderz), and if I
launch it by actually typing LINUX HDD=IDE-SCSI, all goes well, I just ahve to
use the modprobe ide-scsi once I'm logged in. This is fine, But I've adjusted
the lilo.conf on the boot disk and hdb1 (root partition), yet I can't get it to
work by just hitting enter or letting it time-out (this is very important, as
I'd like to set it up idiot proof so the rest of the family can burn CD's
without suffering the freezing windows burner). SO where do I add
hdd=ide-scsi??
Since it works by typing it in each time, I'm assuming it must be possible, As
I'm using SCSI emulation right now (cdparanoia and cdrecord work better (or at
all) with it, so it's important).

Is there anything similar in kwvdial? If so, that might be the problem. Also, in your /etc/resolv.conf do you have your ISP's dns configured? Here's what your resolve should look like: search nameserver nameserver If neither of those suggestions works, I'm clueless. :-) John
Re: [expert] KDE-1.1.2 Miscellaneous problems
Try kppp instead, or, if you want to continue with kwvdial, whats in your /etc/resolv.conf file? sounds like a DNS problem. Re: Netscape - can you start it o.k. from the command line? "Stephen P.

[expert] Attrocious background in MandrakeUpdate
Hi all, I am running Mandrake 6.1 and connot figure out how to change the background on the MandrakeUpdate program. All backgrounds as well as buttons have some kind of "wood" texture to them, obscuring the text. This seems to be the only program that exhibits this "feature", so it's not a desktop issue. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Thanks. Paul

I tried to investigate a little and, according to some smarter people, kppp uses some kernel loops (holes?) which have been fixed in 2.2.13. Try installing the newest kppp, although I'm not sure it would help. -- v Davor Cengija [EMAIL PROTECTED] === "Please allow 30 days for delivery"

But what should contain .rpmrc vs .rpmmacros ? In the Mandrake guide to make RPM, both are mentioned, but no example is given. Regards, Mathieu
