What do you need to do when your burner is connected thru a pcmcia
card. I have compiled the pcmcia package (works perfectly for
my network card) but my burner (archos 4424) is not recognized.
I am getting a low/high beep at boot up and no irq is taken.
Thanks

I downloaded and installed the non-free trial version, and it sort of
works, but everything sounds half speed. I contacted OSS support, and
they
said to send them a log file. I'm awaiting their answer. A lot of folks
might balk at paying for software, but 15 bucks and no trip to the
computer store (for a known-to-work soundcard) seems like a pretty good
deal to me.

I just bought a Compaq which came with this sound card, and I can't
get it working with Mandrake 7.2:
Vendor: ESS Technology
Model: ES1988 Allegro-1
Kernel Module: unknown
Bus Type: PCI
I believe it's an onboard deal because I can't assume it would be
anything else in a machine like this, though I haven't even opened the
case yet to
look. It's not in the list given by HardDrake or whatever. Any
ideas?
Matt O.
You should install SNDCONFIG from the Mandrake CDs. I have an ESS 1688 and
it wasn't recognized by my box. I installed all the ALSA drivers and all
that, and still nothing. Then I installed SNDCONFIG, ran it in a shell, and
told it all it wanted to know, then blam-o! I had sound. It will ask you
for IRQ, DMA and address settings so be prepared.

have a U.S. Robotics Gaming Modem I'm almost positive it's not a
winmodem. also my sound system isn't working properly. Lastly can you
recomend any books I shoud read in order to become proficient with
linux. Thanks in advance.

Welcome brother! I just started using Linux Mandrake about a week ago, so
we are in the same boat. I have learned alot in this last week. Redhat
comes with a utility called SNDCONFIG that should make it easy to set up
your sound card. You have to tell it the IRQ, DMA and Address settings, but
it is a whole lot easier than installing the ALSA drivers from a command
line.

Try using one of those scripts on Freshmeat [www.freshmeat.net] that
synchronize your clock to a time server, it'll most likely be easier and
more accurate.

Hi,
The clock on my linux (Red Hat Linux 6.1 Cartman, Kernel 2.2.12-20 on an
i686)
is one hour late. I want to adjust the clock to current.
I did read HOWTO and man hwclock, I tried the following, but it didn't
work:
/sbin/hwclock --set --date="6/29/00 6:27:00"
It didn't give me any error, I also did:
/sbin/hwclock --hctosys
nothing happened. Then I shutdown the machine:
shutdonw -h now
and powered it on again, the clock didn't get changed.
My hardware is DELL Dimension XPC R450
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks,
Lily

...
Were you logged in as root when you ran hwclock? If so, try setting
the time in your CMOS setup. I highly recommend installing a time
synchronization package to take care of it for you after that point.
I hear xntp is good, but I prefer chrony. It maintains clock accuracy
even when the network is not up, can compensate for long periods
when the machine is turned off, and can even set the hardware clock
on many linux systems.

Make sure you do not run getty on /dev/cuab. Run getty on /dev/ttyS1.
If you do not shorten ready lines on the connector, program getty
to activate "clocal" mode. It's getty specific, so refer to your
manual. I use agetty with -L flag:
S0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L ttyS0
