hello there,
i recently purchased the lexmark z42 very cheap. but unfortunately i

to look for the linux support. there is none, as i found out not very
later
:)
now my question: i have heard that there were inofficial drivers around on
the net. although i searched for them i couldn't retrieve anything like
that. so does anybody out there know anything about it?
thank you very much.

I had the same problem with 6.2. I have an ABIT KT7RAID board, 2 ATA33

the installation no longer gave me the error message. I understand the
ATA100 is supposed to be faster, but, hey, it's so fast anyway, I can live
with it.

It sounds like USB (busmastering) problems. You may have to
check your kernel source documentation for late-breaking
information about configuring your USB interfaces since this is
recent, relatively 'bleeding edge' technology.

Perhaps the kernel patches at http://www.linux-ide.org will help. Try
plugging the drives into the ATA33 controller, install linux, then try
recompiling the kernel with the patches.

Yes. You can configure gpm to handle two mice -- when you've got that
working, you can use the gpm repeater mode, which outputs the mouse data
elsewhere, and feed it into XFree86 with a suitable mouse dev and mouse type
set up.
Use two mice here- one PS/2 one specialised serial trackball (for my
partner, who is disabled.)
Ta-ra,
You can also run two mice under X 4.0.x. Your XF86Config-4 file
should have "InputDevice" sections for both mice, named "Mouse1" and "Mouse2"
(or whatever, just as long as they're different). The in the "ServerLayout"
section, put this:
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents" "T"
Note the extra stuff after the "InputDevice". This lets you run two (or
more?!) mice. I have both a MouseMan+ and a Cirque Smartcat running on my
computer, and they work fine. And no, I'm not using gpm at all.

I use the latest version of XCDROAST (.98test8). Easy, intuitive.
Read in the tracks you want from whatever CDs you want (making sure you
give them different names-- not all "track-05.wav).
Select the ones and the order you want them

Download and read the manual carefully, especially on the 3.3 vs

you plug it in.

Hello,
I would use original Haupauge cards, they work on my SuSE 7.0 out of the
box...:-)
I have one other cheap card with the bt878 chip, but it's not an original
card and you have to recompile
modules outside the kernel, and fidel a bit around to get it runnig, or
say most of it, I didn't got the radio
working, but I'm in greater need for the video input which is OK.
More info:
http://www.strusel007.de/linux/bttv/index.html
My clear suggestion would be, if the higher cost is no problem for you,
buy an original haupauge card and enjoy...
Good luck
