Well, I wrestled with the installation of XFree86
4.0 and I finally beat it, but the Nvidia drivers
have kicked my butt and now I humbly bow to the
USENET gods for assistance!
I have the following:
PII-350
96MB SDRAM
Creative Graphics Blaster TNT
Dell M770 Monitor (but not a Dell system)
Aureal Vortex 1 Soundcard
I have installed every library off of my Mandrake
7.0 CD that I could possibly imagine the new
Nvidia driver needing and then some. The
installation instructions very plainly state that
to install, you simply go into the build directory
as root and type 'make'. Well, all look find and
dandy for say... 2 seconds? Then I get a flood of
errors and the whole thing exits without
compiling. I'm installing from the tarballs, I
tried the RPM and it failed as well.
I tried to get it to dump the entire error message
to a text file so I could attach it to this post,
but am not sure how, or if I can, but here is a
description:
I have approx. 1000 lines that consist of the
following types of errors:
/usr/include/linux/efs)fs_i.h:43: parse error
before 'di_uid'
warning: data definition has no type or storage
class
or
/usr/include/linux/coda.h:219 dereferencing
pointer to incomplete type
or
warning: control reaches end of non-void funtion
Other types of errors are too numerous, but
hopefully this rings a bell with someone.
Almost all of these errors are in reference to
various header files in the /usr/include/linux
subdirectory, or they involve nv.o.
The final line of the error is as follows:
make: *** [nv.o] Error 1
I'm at the end of my rope on this one and am about
to say, "Screw it". Hopefully someone can throw
me a little extra rope here. Any help
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have a Teles S0/usb ISDN adapter but I don't have a clue how to get it to
work under linux (using Redhat 6.2)
Usb is working on my system, when i plug in my adapter it displays the
correct information about my device.
I just don't know how to connect to the device ?
I guess it must be supported by the standard acm driver (the normal S0 box
(serial) is)
so where is the device located : /dev/acm0 or sth like that ?
I also need the hisax module but when i modprobe hisax it sys that it is
busy and cant be loaded
someone help please ..
Nick

Hallo lieber Leser,
zunächst mal entschuldigung für den Cross-Post-Rundumschlag. Aber ich kämpfe
nun schon seit 2 Wochen mit dem gleichen Problem:
Wie kriege ich meine Netzwerkkarte
Level-One fnc-0500tx
(siehe http://www.level-one.net/german/produkte/fnc-0500tx.htm )
sie arbeitet mit einem Winbond 840-Chip
auf meinem PC (Siemens PCD-5H, P90/64MB Ram) unter Linux (Suse 6.2 Kernel
2.2.10) zum laufen.
Beim Booten des PC´s kommt immer folgende Fehlermeldung:
Setting up network device eth0
winbond-840.c:v0.09 8/20/99 Written by Donald Becker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ethercard.html
eth: Winbond W89c840 at 0xc4866c00, 00:00:e8:21:85:59, IRQ 9.
eth: MII PHY not found -- this device may not operate correctly
insmod: Note: /etc/conf.modules is more recent than
/lib/modules/2.2.10/modules.dep
...
Was ist denn das device MII PHY?
Der dazugehörige Treiber wurde gemäß der Anleitung von Donald Becker
kompiliert. Dabei trat keine einzige Fehlermeldung auf. Der Support von
Level-One hat mir einen Treiber zugemailt und antwortet seither nicht mehr.
Muß innerhalb des Treibers vielleicht etwas angepaßt werden?
Zum Thema MII PHY steht im Treiber folgendes:
"0x%4.4x advertising %4.4x.\n",
dev-name, phy, mii_status, np-advertising);
}
}
np-mii_cnt = phy_idx;
if (phy_idx == 0) {
printk(KERN_WARNING "%s: MII PHY not found -- this device may "
"not operate correctly.\n", dev-name);
Vielen Dank für Euere Hilfe!
Gerhard
