Look in the monitor's manual for the Hsync and Vsync values. They're on
the page of tiny print where they list various technical details on the
monitor. Start Xconfigurator (actually, xf86config is better, but
whatever you want) and when you get to the "monitor" section, put in the
Hsync and Vsync values you obtained from the manual.
BTW, if you're running the Fury Pro, you may need Xfree86 >= 3.3.6.
The Rage 128 chipset didn't work all that well in 3.3.5 IIRC.

i've got a token ring card running in my RedHat 6.2 machine. i load it via a
module
my conf.modules looks like
alias tr0 ibmtr
options ibmtr io=0xA0 irq=10
from your error messages it looks like a resource conflict. does the card have
any DOS utililties for testing and setting the IO/IRQ?
i'm using an IBM Auto16/4 ISA card. IBM LANStreamer's aren't supported.
check http://www.redhat.com/support/hardware/intel/62/rh6.2-hcl-i.ld-11.html
under Sction 11.8 Other forms of networking to make sure you are using a
supported card.

Your find that by using Alsa 5.08 It will run fine and dandy.
I am using the YM744B PCI on SuSE 6.4 with the Alsa Drivers and I works
great. Your Sound card is on the Alsa List so should work also.
Word of advice though dont use kernel 2.2.16 as they seem to have screwed
up the timmings some what and your get backgroung clicks when playing mp3
files! It seems fine with kernel 2.2.14.
I got a feeling that Alsa have a patch for that problem with version 5.0.8b
Look on "rpm find" for the lastest Alsa drivers!

Hey all I finally got Linux to recognize my SCSI HP ScanJet (this involved
painfully getting another card) and sane and xscanimage run fine. The thing
is, when I run xsane, it gives me an error, saying "no devices available."
On bootup the scsi host and scanner are detected, and my advansys module and
sg modules are loaded (even though it says they are used by 0). Does anyone
have any ideas on how to get xsane to work? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Oh, the inkjet mechanisms are all CMYK, or CMYKcm these days.
The "color conversion" is done in software for basically all inkjets.
Inkjet output is heavily dithered; modern inkjet mechanisms are
capable of a handful of dot intensities in 4, 6, or 7 colors. To get
the full range of color out of that you have to do some pretty fancy
dithering.
Free software (well, the gimp print plugin, and the "stp" Ghostscript
driver) has perfectly good dithering code, and so do the vendor
drivers.
If you want "real" color support, ie color profiles, gamut mapping,
and that sort of thing, then there is basically no free software
solution at this time. Some of the bits are half-written, but if we
merely complete the suite, so to speak, we're bound to be sued because
most of the obvious techniques for proper color handling appear to be
patented.
Again, if you want to print photos on an inkjet using free software,
use an Epson Stylus with stp. The quality is night and day better
than what other free software produces. The output is even quite good
in an absolute sense when compared, say, to actual photos, and on a
par with what Epson's software can produce.
If you need the best possible photo quality, you should not buy a
printer at all, but should instead use ofoto.com's small-batch
service. They'll use a snazzy big-time photo printing device to
produce actual photographic prints from your jpeg's bits. The results
are essentially identical to actual photos. Again, however, color
support is a bit shakey - they appear to do minilab-grade color
adjustment, which of course tends to produce wrong results. There may
be an option to turn that off.
All of this and more is, of course, in the Printing HOWTO, but people
don't like to RTFM anymore.

Use modprobe ne2k_pci, ne2k_pci relies on other modules being loaded.

OK, here's another thought. Redhat stock kernels are optimized for

I think you sent the thought telepathically. I tried both the 2.2.16

Hello,
I have just installed redhat 6.2 on an IBm thinkpad
and for some reason the keyboard is operating like a UK
keyboard instead of a US.
If I run kbdconfig it is set to US and if I check the
/etc/system/keyboard file it also says US in that file
also! Any ideas where else the keyboard config is set?
When I hit 'shift-3' I get the pound sign hence I know it
is currently set to UK.

You have your modem set to COM1
You enable the built in COM1 on your mobo

Try enabling COM1 in cmos but reassign the I/O so it becomes COM3. That
should prevent Windows from trying to shift stuff. Meanwhile in Linux, you
"should" be able to talk to the modem through /dev/ttyS0 if you do the above

350 mhz amd k6-2 with 64 mb. both have various nic's, cd's and modems. i
could buy a new system (i have about $700).
what hardware combinations should i prefer or avoid?
fry's usually has something with linux installed? is this any good?

I think you are asking the wrong question. Or at least asking the wrong
way. Any of those systems should work -- with the right DSL modem. Make
it ethernet interfaced. If you want a new system, buy it, but not
because you need it for DSL.

I have, FINALLY, configure my modem, is a US Robotics pnp using port:
0x2EB and IRQ: 3.
However, using kppp I tryed all the ttySx but non of them worked. How do
I connect the modem to one of the ports?
Thanks in advance.

I have the Jaton Communicator V.90 working very nicely under RHL 6.2 in an ABIT
KA7-100 motherboard with an AMD-750 . It is a 16-bit ISA card with a real
16C550A/16C450 register compatible UART so it will work right out of the box with the
standard Linux serial port drivers. It has jumpers for I/O com port and IRQ select or
PNP. It's got every bell and whistle you could want (V.everything, fax, voicemail,
speakerphone, caller ID, AT command set, etc.). I paid $49.99 at a local dealer.
Here's the URL for the Jaton web page describing the modem:
