[gentoo-user] Laptop HDD Caddy Shack
I have just purchased a Laptop HDD, and I am now in the market for a nice small caddy shack for it. I was after any recommendations for a caddy shack that has USB2.0 and is compatible with Linux. I seen an advertisements a while ago advertising laptop HDD caddy shack that was Linux compatible (although can't remember the brand). This made me think, does the caddy shack need to be compatible with Linux to work under Linux? Or if your kernel is compiled correctly the majority of caddy shacks should work? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks, TeddY -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] Re: Cisco 352 PCMCIA Drivers
Thanks Jason that was a good tip. Pitty it didn't solve my problem, it still didn't find the files it was looking for. I have also noticed something else while starting pcmcia-cs with cisco cards. I have the following cards. The LMC352 card was ripped out of a cisco PCI card. When using the PCM-352 pcmcia-cs starts without a problem although with the LMC-352 the card doesn't load and times out. One big difference I can see is the difference in mac addresses. I am going to try configuring my /wireless.opts to possibly include the LMC mac address to see if this trys to solve the problem. AIR-PCM350(AIR-PCM352) This is the pcmcia card with the external antenna attached. 00:0A:41:x:x:x AIR-LMC350(AIR-LMC352) This is the card that was ripped out of a Cisco PCI card. 00:40:96:x:x:x Does anyone have any recomendations on what I should do or should i edit my wireless.opts and try what I said? I was thinking about how do you set say a whilecard mask mac address in wireless.opts. Just as a note the the Cisco PCM-352 card worked without the Cisco or ACU drivers.

I don't have this card but setting up pcmcia using Gentoo is easy. Just add pcmcia to your startup scripts.. 'rc-update add pcmcia default' and then emerge wireless-tools and edit /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts for the proper encription/mode etc. Good luck.

My problem with the Cisco ACU drivers is that the installation script throws a few questions at you. The one I'm stuck on is the location of my unpacked and compiled PCMCIA-CS drivers. I have emerged pcmcia-cs although I have no idea where they are located. Also I have enabled Cisco 35x driver support in my Kernel and when ever I start my pcmcia services it doesn't recognise my card. I haven't tyred re-emerging pcmcia-cs though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you have a Cisco card working fine in gentoo I would love to hear the approach you took your self.

RE: [gentoo-user] NVidia Drivers
My question is a little OT here. I have installed the NVIDIA drivers for a geforce3 ti 200 res in x is set at 1280x1024. At the moment I am using nvidia-kernel-1.0.4349-r2. In X-Windows, my colors don't look very sharp. This is mainly seen when I play UT2003. The Red's are pink and the dark grey's are light grey if you follow my drift. I am comparing this to the once used UT2003 windo$e version. Has anyone got any ideas or has hard of this problem before? One friend told me that X has RGB values hard coded and sometimes monitors might have the variables different to what might be in X ( eg. X = RGB, monitor manufacture = RBG) so a slight color distorment may happen.

It's one file and needs to be made executable. After doing this, from a console (can't install this driver while in X) you simply type ./Name of driver and everything should be taken care of. It will not find a module in the kernel for this driver and will compile one for you and install it. The only thing you need to do is place nvidia in your /etc/modules.autoload file and it should come up at boot. You need to edit your XF86Config file and change the nv driver name to nvidia Also add Load glx to your Module section in XF86Config. If dri is enabled, disable it and things should work. That is all I did and when I do lsmod, it tells me that nvidia is loaded. The drivers from the Nvidia web site are the latest. The ones in portage are not. Hope this helps. Any more questions, please ask. I will try to help as best I can. Mike I've tried the 'runnable' installer from the Nvidia site but it just won't work for me and gives me exactly the same errors as the portage ones.
