Hi all I'd like to buy a monitor and I do not have any idea where to look for some information about the experience of other users. So far I found a Czech site where GNU/Linux users listed their opinions about a few standard monitor types (and many exotic ones). I also tried to google and found a few reviews of older monitor models.

The modules Do you have sd_mod loaded? try loading it manually or adding add above usb-storege sd_mod into /etc/modules.conf I also managed to make the thingie automount by adding something like REGISTER ^scsitarget0/lun0/part1$ EXEC mount /dev/sda1 to a file included from /etc/devfsd.conf but I have no GNU/Linux system available here to reproduce the exact syntax. When I tried supermount I was not able to read several hundred KiB from the flash reader without replugging it and the system eventually locked up. I did not find a way to deregister the device after unmounting it so that it automounts next time it is plugged in. I can do ls -l scsilun0 which makes the dev/sda1 go away. I think I can even use eject to do that. But I did not find a way to make it autoeject when I unmount and unplug it. I wonder what would be the proper solution for more complex cases where more than one reader is used, or other scsi(-emulation) drivers are needed. I have no idea how multi-card readers would be used as one would probably like to exhange cards in some slots w/o unplugging the reader. -- Michal Suchanek [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

There's the problem it shows only 800x600 and 1024x768 and you have to click some button to select anythig different. The refresh rate is how X work and is reasonoble because it prevents you from having 640x480@160 ;-) IMHO if you really want 100Hz you can edit the config. -- Michal Suchanek [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Arts is KDE's workaround for this. KDE applications and other arts-aware programs can play sound through arts which accepts multiple sounds to be played at once. For non-arts programs, soundwrapper is provided which tries to emulate standard sound devices for the program using arts.

Why do not the numbers on numeric keypad work in Vim? I dont understan this. They produce something like Op for zero, Oq for one. Mapping these in Vim would break other things. Writing the sequence in bash produces the corresponding number, as does hitting the key. In cat I get exactly the sequence when I type it but hitting the key still produces the number.

Should read CPU specs for voltages, the limits are usually wrong(at least on both systems on which I tested sensors). Here's what I get on the older one: Adapter: SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 5000 Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter Memory type:SDRAM DIMM SPD SDRAM Size (MB):128 w83781d-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter Algorithm: ISA algorithm VCore 1: +2.72 V (min = +2.27 V, max = +2.52 V) ALARM VCore 2: +1.47 V (min = +2.27 V, max = +2.52 V) ALARM +3.3V: +3.45 V (min = +3.13 V, max = +3.45 V) +5V: +4.89 V (min = +4.72 V, max = +5.24 V) +12V: +12.01 V (min = +11.36 V, max = +12.58 V) -12V: -12.10 V (min = -11.33 V, max = -12.55 V) -5V: -4.86 V (min = -4.74 V, max = -5.24 V) ALARM fan1: 4963 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) fan2:0 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) ALARM fan3:0 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) ALARM temp1: +28°C (limit = +60°C, hysteresis = +50°C) temp2: +32.0°C (limit = +60°C, hysteresis = +50°C) temp3: +33.0°C (limit = +60°C, hysteresis = +50°C) vid: +2.40 V The -5V gets as high as -4.71 from time to time, which is not perfect, but it works.

If you can ping the DNS servers, you are done. The link works!
- try running `route' to see if you have a default router and try to
ping the router
you may be unable to ping anything outside your providers network
because they use some firewall. I have the same problem.

[expert] USB mouse - no hotplug?
While I was trying to make my USB mouse work (it doesnt work with usbmouse, I need hid) I discovered that I can unload both usb-[uo]hci and hid while mousedev is loaded. But if I have everything up and running, then unload hid and load it again, the mouse no longer works. I can fix this by reloading mousedev, but I would have to shut down everything that uses mouse, wouldn't I? I think this is in contrary with the flexibility one should with from USB devices. I think I have the kernel from 8.1. Well, I should check my logs and try other things. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I looked into this yesterday and I found out that the mouse works with *hid* driver but it *doesnt* work with *usbmouse*. I deleted the usbomuse.o module and everything works now.

Try #service bastille-firewall status it lists additional criteria that are not shown by iptables -L. It looks fine then (I think). Perhaps there's some option for more verbose output. Iptables -L or bastille-firewall status should show what applies to any packet that comes to your box (or is sent from your box). As connections are realized using packets, the rules apply to any new connection and (to limited extent) to any established connection. The limitation here is that if you try to filter inital packets of a connection, these may be already exchanged by the time you apply your rules. ie. -+--+---+---> | | | +-a connection starts +-you apply your rules +-another connection starts you arent filtering you can drop packetsyou may prevent this connection this connection yet of any connections you from establishing if its initial dont like, terminating packets are dropped by your rules them Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] USB mouse - only verticaal cursor movement
When I plugged the PowerScroll USB mouse into my box a driver was loaded saying that a mouse was found. I didn't find any complaints in the log. After some searching I linked /dev/usbmouse to /dev/mouse. After some more searching I concluded I do not know whot protocol should I use for my mouse so I runned mousedrake (or how that thing is called ) and selected USB Wheel mouse in menu. When my gpm was restarted by mousedrake it became unusable. When I restarted X I was only able to move the cursor up and down, not left/right, no clicks.
