What speed did you set the serial port to? You should set this to 115
kb/s.

cat /proc/interrupts
You shold also know that COM3: and COM4: (/dev/ttyS2 and /dev/ttyS3) are
unusable when they share irq with COM1: and COM2:.

Some serial boards have jumpers to change IRQ. But you will also have to
change the software to use the new IRQ. In linux this is done with
setserial. However, a better idea is probably to connect your modem to
COM2: and make sure that you don't use COM4:.

Subject: Diamond Monster Sound
I was wondering if there are any drivers for the Diamond Monster Sound
card (Aureal Vortex chipset, I believ). I remember last I checked, I
found a list saying the ships were new (which isn't all that true, is
it?) and that drivers haven't been developed yet. However, I also
remember reading somehwere that Diamond now fully supports the Linux
community, so I would guess there'd be drivers out now, but I can't find
any. Any help, anyone?

You can add the insmod -f in your rc.local script. I think
there is an option you can put in conf.modules, but I am not
sure about what it is.
Alternately you can edit the binary module using a hex
editor (if you installed gnome with your RH 6 you can use
ghex). Load the file in the editor, search in the ASCII
data for 2.2.5 then change it to read 2.2.5-15. No more
complaints. I have put up a version of the sblive modified
like this here:

Nice thought but no. I was thinking of doing the same but there is no
such thing. You could have no soundcard in the main machine and a
junky video card and have a large harddrive and (I know you don't want
this) a client computer with sound/video to mount it's fs off the
server. Or you'd have to run 3 cable all over your house.

AFAIK, there is no X server for the 128 bit ATI cards yet, although I did
hear a rumour that someone was working on one. You should be able to get
it to work with the vesa framebuffer support in the 2.2 kernels, and the
XFree86-FBDev server. It won't be accelerated, though.

I keep asking this but nobody has come up with a logical answer! I can't
recompile my kernel on RedHat 6.0.. When I run LILO it tells me that the
kernel is too big. The thing is, I am using a compressed kernel and it is
only about 470K. What is more odd than this is that the kernel that RedHat
6 comes with by default is much larger, over a megabyte. Why is it that
LILO can use that one, but not my new kernel? I need to get Video4Linux
compiled into the kernel with my capture devices.. I also like to have my
kernel compiled with Pentium optimizations. What is going on here?

I'm not sure if your TV card is specifically supported, but a few are..
The reason your processes may not be showing is that they don't
specifically belong to root. You might try using a command like "ps -ax"
for example, which will show all the processes currently running whether
they are root processes or not.

How did your setup go? Did the Xconfigurator utility run correctly? If you want
to set up XFree86, run the command (as root)
root@localhost /root# Xconfigurator
and it will ask you a few questions about what kind of video card you have,
what type of monitor you have, and also what resolutions you want to run in. If
you'd like some more help with your setup, then we (in the newsgroups) will
need some more information- what kind of video card do you have? How much video
RAM? How good is your monitor? Once you can tell us this, we will be able to
help you out much more. As for KDE, don't install it until you have a perfectly
working X-Windows environment. I can help you out with that if you can tell me
which version of RedHat 5.2 you bought (there are several versions, from
RedHat, from Macmillan Publishing, from online websites... Did you get the
Official RedHat 5.2 in the blue box?) Thanks, and I'll be waiting for your

I'm new at Linux. i use the same motherboard with Maxtor 8,4 hdd on an
AMDK6 II 350 @400 mhz with 160mb ram.
What is the use of the driver you are talkin abt? I mean, do i need to
install it for a faster pc? or what?
I use Slackware40...
I had some problems compiling the kernel. It gave me some errors and the
zImage did not exist, can it be related to the problem you are talkin abt?

I have one that I bought used, and it works fine. I have no experience

Honestly, I think that the SB 16 PCI is the SB PCI64 under a new name.
Probably to distance themselves from the Audio PCI name
both are 16 bit sound cards for the PCI BUS
both use a soft file for MIDI instruments
and the creative site makes no mention of a SB16 PCI under the SB 16 family of
cards

Hi Braniacs,
I'm using a friend's HP Pavilion 4440 (AMD K-2 333MHz) that has a
RipTide modem/sound chip (Rockwell Semiconductor Systems), and I'm
having difficulty getting Linux to recognize it. From what I gather
from my 'net searching, RipTide's Linux driver may or may not be
supported at the alpha or beta stage.
Other pertinent factors:
The kernels I've tried are 2.0.35 and 2.2.9.
RipTide is supposedly 100% SB compatible, has WaveStream 64, HRTF-3D
(A3D), MPU-401 interface, and I2S support.
Thanks y'all,

If you can do it, then compiling everything statically has the
benefit of simplicity. Less to learn, fewer daemons to run, fewer
config files to maintain. Not much of a benefit, except maybe in
an embedded system or diskless workstation.
There are certain drivers that can be compiled either way, but
are a bit easier to configure statically than as modules, e.g.
some non-PnP sound card drivers. There are some drivers that
can be compiled either way but only work right if you compile
them as modules, because they need to be configured with
information that's not available until after boot, e.g. drivers
for some PnP or PCMCIA devices.
I agree that most people should configure most stuff as modules.
Use "make bzImage" anyway; that way you won't have to switch
later if your kernel grows. Plus it's good to get in the habit
of using bzip2 instead of gzip; if everyone did this it would
save a lot of bandwidth.

Do you want to let your PCs and Macs to talk to each others using Linux as a
medium? I've no idea if this can be done, but surely you can set up Linux as
your fileserver, install AppleTalk (netatalk) and compile DDP inside your
kernel and this will let you use your Linux as Macs fileserver. For PCs, you can
install SMB server on Linux and this will give your PCs access Linux as a
fileserver. With this, you dunnot need to buy any extra software to get it to
work. But if you want the PCs to talk directly to the Macs, then you need either
Timbuktu or DAVE (SMB implementation for Mac).

I'm using SuSE 6.1 & Creative 3DBlaster TNT2 Ultra
I had the same error too. So I looked at the shell script,
found out what it did, and manually copied over the files
and created the symbolic links myself. Everything is working
now. My problem before was indeed due to the monitor setting.
Using SaX, now I choose one of the hi-res VESA monitor instead
of my MAG XJ810 and everything works now at 1024x768 16bit :-)

I picked up a couple of old SCSI-2 drives:
seagate ST1480N
ibm 0663
What's a good Linux-happy host adaptor?
Preferably that will do SCSI-2 for now, but SCSI-3 or
Wide/UltraWide when I get the schekels together for another
drive...
Thanks in advance,
Keith.

Anyone done anything with the MCA AT1700 network cards? Linux can't
seem to find it, no matter which slot it's in.
I'd like to set up the box for NFS/root, as it's too small and slow for
anything else (6MB RAM, 60MB HDD, 386).

The SMC WD8013WP works great too. I've got one of 'em
in my ADSL box. I *think* I read somewhere that the
WD8013's were supported, but not the WD8003's.

One thing to note: when you get a zip disk, its main partition
will be /dev/?d?4. That is, if it's a SCSI ZIP disk, the default
partition will be /dev/sda4, or something like that. Keep that
in mind when you're trying to mount the ZIP disk. However, you
can use fdisk to modify this. I don't know how that affects how
Windows can read it.

I'm sure I can't solve your problems, because I am brand new to Linux.
I have a logitech mouse, but I think it's a mouseman+ with the middle
button being a wheel and a thumb button on the side, but it is PS/2.
Mine is working fine, it even scrolls with the wheel if I put it in the
scroll bar.
I installed the last option for a mouse, First + or something. If
nothing seems to work right, even installing it as a basic mouse, and it
is a serial mouse, maybe you should look toward your serial ports. I
think you can set the speed and such, but I don't know how. Maybe you
have some kind of conflict.
