The way i see it Linux gives me the chance to "play" with the system again
like i once could under DOS (and more besides). I believe the real problem
most Linux veterains have with Windows is not the stability/features but the
fact that MS have quite taken the "fun" out of computing. Bill Gates has
managed to turn the average home pc into just another appliance.
In my time I have found this. MS has written things into the OS
that are intended to prevent on from "having fun." Now I could
forgive a lot but not that.
Do not write to prevent me from doing things, period. I get
upset and nasty when that happens. And I have been hacking PCs
since the Atari 800 before Boca Roton existed.
I would not be happy if GMC sold cars that only worked with one
brand of gasoline either. I got the same problem with MS because
they are.
Simplest is this.
I do not have a DVD drive. But since it supports DVD regional
releases ... EF it it! [Yes, I know where and how to clear the
registry and I am pissed that is "secret" info.]
This is not
what i want in a pc. I want to be able to experiment and play around until i
get a nifty thing going. Getting a cool piece of hardware to work under
Linux is much more fun than just "plugging it in" under Windows.
You are now in hog heaven, buddy. They don't always publically
support it but whatever your harware they will often send you the
Linux driver where they developed it but don't publically talk
about because of MS. Email them and find out.

now my question is:
what should i do about it? is this something i could

you can replace memory modules , if you have spares.
first make shure the ones installed are installed propper.
make shure to a 'memory bank' complete.
you have a manual for that board ?

case "$ADDRESS" in

Subject: Sound Configuration with Yamaha XG
Date: Sun, 09 Apr 2000 21:26:32 GMT
I am using R.H. 6.1. My sound card is a Yamaha XG 64V Wavetable.
When I run sndconfig it recognizes my card as a Yamaha PCI sound card
YMF-724F [DS-1 Audio Controller] but it tells me that it isn't supported.
Is there a command I can use that will let me manually choose the sound
card, kind of like xconfigurator, so that I can experiment? I've been told
soundblaster will work. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Date: Sun, 09 Apr 2000 21:41:02 GMT
Hi
I just installed my Mandrake Linux for the 4th time. I am not sure if
I have a
bad CD but the installation program froze up during the install a few
times
before I got lucky. Prior attemps to upgrade version 6.0 gave me the
same
freezing so I thought I would go for a clean install.
My CMI8330 sound card worked okay under version 6.0 but now does not
under 7.0.
I have tried numerous setting with no luck. It was set up under
Windows 98 at
memory address 0530-0537
IRQ 11
DMA 00
I do not see the address area in Mandrake 7.0 listed.
This sound card is integrated into the motherboard and is a common
one. I am
resisting the urge to disable it as I have done with the SiS AGP
video.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!

Does anyone know where I can get an XF86 3.3.6 server with i810 support
built in - this doesn't come as standard and has to be built in at compile
time(this seems pointless to me, they say it's because it requires the
agpgart module. So what?). I don't have enough bandwidth for the source
though :(
So if anyone knows where I can find one, or has one they are willing to
email me. Let me know...
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Memory problem
Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2000 00:13:59 GMT
I just upgraded my memory in my computer. But after upgrading memory,
then I decided to put Linux in. I am pretty knowledgeable in Linux. (I
can at least get around and I know most commands to work at a prompt
efficiently.) But I just upgraded my memory from 64 megs to 192 megs.
I now find out that Linux defaults to 64 megs of ram no matter if you
have more or not. I am told to get it to work you have to edit the
/etc/lilo.conf file and add at the top of the file
append="mem=192". Then go to /sbin and run lilo. I have done this and
it doesn't work. Lilo runs from /sbin without any error messages, but
after I reset the computer, the startup screen and the system info under
gnome's menu system both say that there is still 64 megs of ram
installed.
Something else. I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I should
tell you some other things I have to do to my system to get it to work
that may affect this or not.
When I first install Linux, my LS-120 drive doesn't work. So the only
way for me to get it to work is to go to a configuration tool in
Mandrake that adds support for ide-floppy.o in my kernal. But after I
do this, when I startup the computer, there is always two services that
fail from then on. But I know now, if there are not two services that
fail, my LS-120 nor my HP 7200i CD Writer doesn't work until those two
fail.
Any ideas??

Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2000 01:46:10 +
Hi, does someone know why a Linux box on a p5a-b mb seems to go very slow on
disk I/O? I've downloaded the patch 4 linux (ALi ide driver 1.0 beta 3 for UDma
33), and I'm using it. The I/O throughput is better then before, ok. But when,
for example, I do massive I/O with more than one app (say: listening MP3 while
browsing the web, like now!) the system can't afford that: I can use mp3 player
OR I can use Netscape. Otherwise the system seems doing a lot of job without
being able to execute concurrently the jobs.
Mah!! Do you know something on that?
Any help wellcome (also private email, if you like).
Tnx, a lot

To answer the original question... you can run xf86config and choose
the Riva TNT from the card list and that will get you the nv driver.
BTW the installation script for XFree86 4.0 under Slackware 7.0 gave
me a symbolic link /etc/X11/xinit pointing to itself! I replaced this
with the old xinit directory and now everything seems to be working.
