Realplayer can put you in touch with those guys; try WTAW out of College Station, Texas. A group movement where interested individuals promote activism is a good starting point. Hell, this list is a good starting point. I like talking about Mandrake technical stuff as much as the next guy; but if you don't protect your right to do so first and foremost, you might end up in jail sometime in the future when the SPA comes knocking at your door. Join the EFF. Listen to talk radio. Stay in touch. LX, what was the secret vote called? I think i'd like to contact my senator and congressman about this and find out about what they're doing behind our backs! that REALLY gets under my skin. ;\ -- daRcmaTTeR -- Registered Linux User 182496 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] MDK 8.2, IBM ThinkPad 240, 3Com Megahertz 3CXFE575BT - lossage
[Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or I may not see the reply in a timely manner. Thanks!] I recently installed Mandrake 8.2 on an IBM Thinkpad 240. Neither pcmcia.img nor network.img recognized my 3Com Megaherta 3CXFE575BT 10/100 PCMCIA network card, and this laptop doesn't come with a CDROM drive (and only a few weird ones work with it) so I was forced to put my laptop disk into my desktop, partition it, put the ISO images in a partition, then put it back in the laptop and install from there. When I was done, I had no network: my PCMCIA card was not recognized, and none of the normal networking scripts had been installed. This card works just fine if I boot Windows on the same machine, so it isn't bad hardware. So I reinstalled (from that partition of ISO images) with an Orinoco wireless card present in the machine, and at least this time it installed all the various networking scripts, and the wireless worked. (If I'd had a local access point, I'd have a done a network install over the wireless in the first place, but I didn't.) But the 3Com 10/100 card still wasn't recognized. cardctl status says: Socket 0: 3.3V CardBus card function 0: [ready] whereas, for the wireless (working) card, it includes some other info after function 0:. The 3Com card beeped once upon insertion; the wireless beeped twice (and worked). After a great deal of rather fruitless web-searching, I decided to follow the instructions in PCMCIA HOWTO and compile the 3.1.33 version of pcmcia-cs (MDK 8.2 ships with .31) and install it. Big mistake. I configured, made, and installed, and now (after rebooting) lsmod doesn't report any pcmcia modules loaded, and nothing pcmcia-related works[1]. Given that installation rewrites a ton of files, I'm now looking at a tedious and frustrating debugging process to have even a hope of finding out what the installer broke. Shouldn't this have Just Worked? [I configured w/the defaults, meaning it installed 32-bit mode (this card is 32-bit), did -not- install PnP, used the running kernel as its source of options, etc.] What -should- I have done, and what should I do now? Other things on the web seem to imply that there shouldn't have been any problem with a 3Com 575 card, but neither the installer images nor the running system noticed it. What gives? And right now, of course, my laptop has no working network at all. I was paranoid and tarred up copies of / and /usr before I installed pcmcia, though restoring them will be painful (since no doubt I only want to bash certain parts of / and /usr to restore PCMCIA at least to the state it was in before[2]). I -could- just give up and reinstall the entire OS (that installation partition is still there); I wonder if that would be simpler. But neither of these will, by themselves, get non-wireless PCMCIA operation working; what will? More details (various outputs from what I did, etc) available if someone thinks they'll help; I'm not including them here because they'd just bloat the message---and because I'll have to copy them to the laptop's windows partition and reboot just to get them off the machine... [1] ...but lsmod now reports a whole pile more sound-related modules! It had a couple before; now there are something like 10 lines of 'em. Since I haven't had a chance to get any sounds onto the machine, I haven't tested sound, either before my attempted reinstallation of pcmcia, or now; that will come after I get the network functional. Anyone have any idea what's going on here? [Ordinary beeping worked before and after, but I presume that's independent of all these kernel sound modules.] /var/log/messages had been reporting a whole bunch of sound-related complaints (before my pcmcia reinstall), but I haven't (yet) pursued them. But I'm puzzled why lsmod suddenly shows a whole bunch more, since sound doesn't use pcmcia; perhaps it was the depmod that the pcmcia installation ran? Shouldn't the MDK installer have done the right thing here when I first installed MDK 8.2? [2] Running find / -mmin -120 -o -cmin -120 -ls finds suspiciously few modified files (even though I ran it 10 minutes after the installation); it pretty much finds only stuff in /dev, /var/log/ksyms*, /lib/dev-state/* (???), and /etc/pcmcia/*.0 (about 5 files there; I think these might have been backed-up copies of my original options). But I'd have thought I'd have seen some -new- files somewhere... so I'm suspicious that my find isn't finding places in the filesystem I may need to restore from those tarfiles I made...

[expert] video problems in 8.2
Hi all, just tried to install 8.2 and on two different machines, athlon 1.0 ghz epox 8kta3 pro mb with ati 3d rageIIc 8mg agp card and 200mmx intel with s3 trio 4mg video card both have a presario 1500 monitor ( trinitron tube ) on the regular settings of 1024x768 24 and 16 bit using generic non-interlaced SVGA 1024x768 at 60 Hz 800x600 at 72 Hz ( which I used with both 7.2 and 8.0 just fine ) , it will look stable for a minute or two then the screen goes blank for a few seconds then back on /off /on / etc. may be the monitor but don't know how to correct this problem. I really would like to run 8.2 but can't change both monitors out at this time. Any suggestions or known fixes ??? can I run a different version of Xfree86 , like the 4.0.3 patch level 7 Like I run in 8.0 ? Mike McNeese Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

It's refreshing. I had to chase this link down to properly answer your question, but I consider it time well spent for you: http://www.washtimes.com/national/20020426-496130.htm Excerpt from article: _ Senate Democrats yesterday barred the public from a committee meeting and vote on a land-use bill that opponents believe will impose federal standards on local zoning boards. This was no accident; this was a purposeful sham, said Mike Hardiman, spokesman for the American Land Rights Association, who lined up shortly after 8 a.m. to attend the 9:30 a.m. hearing in the Dirksen Senate Office Building. He said the senators were trying to pass an indefensible bill in secret. The bill establishes a federal grant program that would pay to communities 90 percent of the cost of updating local zoning regulations. The subsidies would go to municipalities that meet guidelines established under the Clinton administration to improve environmental policy and avert loss of community character, terms opponents call code words for anti-development regulations. _ I've identified the Washington Times as an information source that I can trust; it is dependable. There's alot of hype, bull, and propaganda debunk in the Washington Times; I recommend it and the editorials therein to you highly. :) Something else I suggest is to download Realplayer and listen to G. Gordon, Neal Boortz, and others on the following links: http://mediaframe.yahoo.com/ap?id=78153903 (Realplayer only. The above is WTAW out of College Station, Texas.) Here is a link that will be useful, but only if you have Windows Mediaplayer version 6 running under Transgaming Wine, OR if you have been able to get Avi4Xmms and Xmms to work together (which I have not, as of yet.) This is 99.7 WTN out of Tennessee. http://mmslb.eonstreams.com/wtnfm1.asf I've been working to try to get Xmms to accept WindowsMedia ASF streams, but I havent produced results as of yet. Therefore I've been reduced to listening to realplayer streams only. But I'm still working on it.
