Can any recommend a nice frame grabber they are using for Linux?
I need the frame grabber to accept separate R,G,B inputs (not just
composite).
I also need an API to call to command the card to capture as needed.
Thanks, Mark.

Subject: HP 420, Mandrake 7.0 printer problem
Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2000 01:07:08 GMT
I am running Mandrake 7.0 on a dual boot compak 5070 with a 350mhz celaron
processor. I have a HP 420C printer, the printer's connected to the machine
via a Mustek 600CP scanner which is connected to the parallel port (I
haven't ventured to check compatability or run the scanner under linux yet).
The printer works fine when operating in Windows 98, however I cannot get
the printer to work under linux. I have used printtool to configure the
printer and filter, but to know avail. When I do a tunelp sometimes I get
that the printer is online and the IRQ that it is using, other times after I
have tried to send a job to the printer it is stating that the printer is
busy. I have shutdown and mannually restarted LPD, and when I send a job to
the printer it appears that the machine thinks that the job is completing;
because the light on the printer begins to blink as if it is accepting the
job but I never get any output (whether working from the command line, or in
a program such as KFM or Netscape). Any and all serious help suggestions
can be emailed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
THANKS ALOT ALL!!!

I sure have never seen one for *two* IDE devices, but here's a source
for single, half height IDE device @ $65 USD:
http://www.computergate.com/cgi-bin/prodinfo?sn=1076034525102444&cd=HDXTT3500
I do not know if they ship internationally, nor what OS is supported.
Hope this is of some assistance.

If you install linux on one Disc all by itself, then you don't need to
worry because the set-up tool will determine everything.
If you do install it as a dual-boot then you would need to be careful
:-)
Since I have not installed Mandrake I am not sure but I guess that
there is certainly a tool for the install.
Also there are quite a few Internet sites ( for newbies) that deal
with all those questions, just put Linux and newbies in a
search-machine and you will be _pleasantly_ surprised at how many
sites are out there.
deja.com too is a great resource of information as well...

The size of the partitions depends a little on the size of your hard
drive and/or how much space you are allowing linux to use. It also
depends on what you are wanting to install and use the system for. The
only partitions that are mandatory are the root ( / ) partition and the
swap partition.
Below is the output of "df -h" on my system.

They have to be installed in pairs for 72 pin SIMMS. If it is a DIMM then one
will do if the motherboard can handle it. Check the book first.

Are these 72 pin SIMS ? if so, watch out, they usually need to be installed
in matched pairs. Check the motherboard manual.

I've checked a couple of machines we have which use SCSI devices,
and none of them show scsi_mod as a loaded module. I think it
must be built into the generic kernel which we are using.
One of our machines is like the one described in the original
posting. It has an IDE hard drive and the card is used only
for a tape drive. We had to put an entry in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
in order to load the scsi module. It is done automatically for
the machines which have a SCSI disk.
I wonder if there is something wrong in this case with the tape
crive or the SCSI bus.

I have a Solidyear wireless keyboard model number ACK-571. It also has a

Not sure if the problem lies with the Infra-red device or the USB device?

Thanks for your tips, but there is no hardware conflict neither in windows
nor in Linux. The settings are OK, in principle, because loading the
module and afterwards using the scanner works under Linux directly after a
reboot out of windows. But after such a session, where the SCSI adapter
was recognized, when I restart Linux, the Reservation Conflict apears again.

You'll gain a fair amount of speed, especially in X environments like KDE
and Gnome. So it's worth the upgrade, IMHO. For you, it'll depend on your

> The kernel is then forced to detect the SCSI device/card.
I tried to compile the aha152x into the kernel as well, but then I got the
same repeated messages at bootup as I got when I tried to install the
module.
Is it important what SCSI ID to use? There is kind of a switch on
the back of the scanner, where I can select the SCSI ID, and the third
parameter in the kernel options is for that as well, right?
I use the module options (the same for the kernel options):
aha152x=0x340,9,7,1,1
Thanks

Hello,
it might depend on your motherboard, whether this upgrade makes sense:
some motherboards for 200MHZ-Pentiums were unable to use more than
64MB memory properly (cacheable area).
If you are unlucky, you might end up with less performance and less
money.
Nevertheless,
Good luck
Alois

Hi,
here is my little report how I got the HP 8210e (USB) working with
kernel 2.4.0-test8.
I have heard that there are other CD-Writers (i.e. 8230E) but I am
afraid this little report works only with the 8210e
Have fun!

Has anyone had any luck getting the scroll feature of one of these
working, either in USB mode or with the USB-to-PS/2 adapter? I am
running kernel version 2.4.0-test7 on an IBM ThinkPad 600X, which has a
USB port. I believe I have made appropriate config selections in
compiling my kernel for USB support (all Y):
Support for USB
Prelimary USB Device Filesystem
UCHI Alternate Driver (JE) Support
USB Human Interface Device (HID) Support
Input Core Support
Mouse Support
My /var/log/messages contains the following (in relevant part):
kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
kernel: usb.c USB new device connect, assigned device number 2
kernel: Manufacturer: KYE
kernel: Product: Genius USB Wheel Mouse
kernel: mouse0: PS/2 mouse device for input0
kernel: input0: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [KYE Genius USB Wheel Mouse] on usb1:2.0
In xconfig, the "Help" for Input Core Support/Mouse Support says:
"Say Y here if you want your USB HID mouse to be accessible as char
devices 13:32+ - /dev/input/mouseX and 13:63 - /dev/input/mice as an
emulated PS/2 mouse."
Accordingly, I have mknod'd as follows: mknod c /dev/input/mouse0 13 32
Additionally, I have tweaked my XF86Config Pointer Section to read as
follows:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "PS/2"
Device"/dev/input/mouse0"
EndSection
After much flickering upon launching X, the USB mouse works fine, but
without scrolling. Does scrolling work at all? Does it only work in
certain applications (which?)?
Additional question regarding XF86Config: Is there any way I can
configure options in the Pointer Section so that /dev/mouse is the
device if I want to use my ThinkPad's pointer and /dev/input/mouse0 is
the device if I want to use USB? Even better, is there any way to
configure it so that it automatically detects whether the USB mouse is
plugged in and switches accordingly? (Now I'm really dreaming.)
Thanks in advance.

Wondering if anyone out there has "successfully" configured the titled
printer under Linux. If so, how.
I have it working, sporadically. It will print some pages and then all
of a sudden just start spitting out
garabage. Any ideas?
I am running Redhat 6.2 and have it setup under printtool as an HP
Deskjet 550C (UP) on /dev/lp0
- Thanks

Subject: IBM 60G0611 LAN adapter configuration
Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2000 03:47:07 GMT
I recently picked up a pair of IBM 60G0611 LAN adapter cards - these are the
FRU part number for the original 60G0605 units.
I've got a box with both of them configured using the DOS based IBM
CONFIG.EXE utility. One is at 0x300 with IRQ 10, the other at 0x320 with
IRQ 11. Both pass all diagnostics.
This machine has no CD and I'm trying to load RedHat 6.2 on it via NFS image
as I have done on numerous other machines which had 3C509B adapters.
The problem is that this adapter model is not under the menu of network
adapters presented during install nor can I find an equivalent for it
anywhere.
Has anybody successfully configured these type of cards with RedHat 6.2? I
tried NE2000 as a compatible adapter as that seems to work quite often, but
without luck.
Thanks for any help on this matter.
Regards,
Curtis
