I think this is a better solution
edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
there is an entry for X server, just pass xinerama or whatever option
to it.
My problem however is that right now my etc/inittab file has me going
to only run level 3. if I change this value to 5, the systems takes
me to a graphical logon..but with only one monitor. My guess is that
the system is still strying to run startx as opposed to startx --
+xinerama. Where

Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2001 18:02:10 +0100
Hello everybody,
"Deutsche Telekom" sells isdn-analog terminal adapters with built-in
isdn-card under the name 'eumex 504'. You may connect to it via an
usb-port (I don't have one on my computer), or by the use of the serial
line port (UART 16550). So I have to learn how to connect my linux-box
to this external terminal.
Is there anybody having some experience to this setup, or at least can
give me
hints where to find _explicit_ information how to handle isdn-terminals
via the serial line?
Thank you in advance
Best regards
Olli

Hi,
I've got a IBM Turbo 16/4 TokenRing PC Card 2 in my Thinkpad 570.
I use SUSE Linux 7.0 with Kernel 2.2.16.
This card does not work, I tried a lot, but no chance...
Has anybody got an idea ?
In fact the cardmanager realizes the card but during booting I get a message
like
get dev info no such devive failed
Thanks for your help.
With best regards

Greetings,
I cant seem to access audio cd's from either my cdrom or my cdrw. Data
cd's will open and display fine but neither the root acct or my personal
acct can access audio cd's... any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA
Did you by any chance install automount ?
It nukes the direct hardware access.
Ie., your basic CD reading with xmms or other.
Actually, it only mounts the cdrom for itself, and monitors it. As audio CDs
are not a valid filesystem, it does nothing. But keeps the hadware, just in
case
a real CD appears.
A nice toy, but the price is a bit high.

It would be good if someone could look into this. I did a long search
for similar problems, and found that it is a recurring problem for all
i840 SuperMicro boards, not just in linux, but other o/s's as well. In
particular, this one message occurs when logging does not die instantly:
unexpected IRQ vector 217 on CPU#0!
It can also occur on CPU#1, but the 217 is consistent in all cases. This
message has been reported on both IDE-only machines, and SCSI machines.
Failure occurs under either rapid i/o of many small files, or a few
large files, or mount/umount, using any filesystem type or driver. I can
repeat the problem via rapid mount/umount of the cdrom. The filesystem
driver that originates the problem is the first to die, but even if, for
example, the scsi is still alive, it will also die shortly thereafter
(seconds to live)...sync is not possible, even with magic-sysrq.
I have had linux-2.4.0-test5 OOPS on me with this board under the following
circumstances: - using APIC - running fsck on my USB ZIP 250 (ext2
filesystem)
I didn't get anything in the logs, but there was an "Aiiee!! Kernel Panic!"
at line 614 (?) in sched.c that was dumped to the console, and something
about an interrupt being removed??
I had thought that this was USB related, because the USB / SCSI subsystems
seem a bit flaky, but then they ARE resting on a less-than-solid mobo
foundation at the moment ... ;-)

Before you buy.
It took about a month of mysterious crashes before I finally had the
unexpected IRQ show up. Running with kernel option "noapic" has shown me
that the AIC7xxx driver is extremely stable. The filesystem access
itself is absurdly fast, although with noapic the machine becomes
unresponsive during this heavy i/o. Even the dual PII450 here will far
outperform the dual 800 for responsiveness (at least with noapic going
on the 800). Both use AIC7xxx. I think you'll find your system will fail
even when using IDE if you rapidly mount and umount.

Hi,
I just installed OpenLinux 2.3 on my desktop which has an Inter(R)810e
Chipset. The system can't identify this graphic chipset, so the X-window
can't start.
I can't find anything in www.indiaitmarkets.com's product review section
Can anybody help me to settle this urgent problem?

Date: 8 Aug 2000 04:39:04 GMT
We need to look into good power saving strategies, most Linux ports once on
a PDA suck power, but native os dont, this is due to power saving built
into the Software,
We generally, shut down components when not in use, and even turn of or at
least slow down the CPU when no activity is taking place, such as reading
the screen, and then wake up the CPU when an intterupt has been triggered.
Does any one know any where that is focusing on this area. especially
within Linux.

Make a small /boot partition (3MB should be enough), where you put all
LILO needs.
(i.e. Kernel(s), System.map, chain.b, boot.b ...)
The paritioning of the rest doesn't matter than.

These devices are split between two controllers, one

The /dev/sd* entries present are sufficient to cover all of
these devices, but nonetheless, the controller and only six

No, /dev/sd* are only SCSI disks. The (first) tape drive should be

Date: Sun, 7 Feb 1999 15:18:54 +0100
Hello,
I installed a 486DX2-66 CPU on my machine. The only jumper-setting that
works
is CPU Clock 33.3 MHz, CPU Clock Select ( 1X or 2X) 1X and for the VESA Bus
Connector Jumper CPU Speed Select either "Greater than 33 MHz" or "Less than
or equal to 33 MHz" ( both settings work).
When I tried to compile the kernel, a message ("CPU Clock skew") appeared. I
checked the CPU and found out that it got too hot. That was why the kernel
couldn't be compiled, I think. But how could the CPU get so hot when it
wasn't used with the highest frequency possible ? ( it wasn't cooled, but I
had removed this CPU from a PC where it was run with 66 MHz and there had
also been no cooling on it )
I tried other jumper settings: CPU Clock 66 MHz, 1X, "Greater than 33 MHz"
nothing worked. Then I tried CPU Clock 33.3 MHz, 2X, "Less than or equal to
33 MHz" ...
Might the board be defect, how can I figure that out with linux ?
I would be glad to get some advice,
Beni

It is normal that processors get hot. Why Do you think it is too hot?
Did you compare it to the temperature it had on the other board?

I am interested also. I have figured out that the problem with the
D-Link DFE-530TX device driver is that it doesn't properly handle
multiple devices on the same IRQ. I am trying to patch the driver, but
it is slow going (I am rusty in device drivers). I will try to contact
the original author of the device driver also.
The error I get is "SIOCSIFFLAG: resource is temporarily unavailable"
when I do an ifconfig on the device. I know now what generates the error
message (error return in installing interrupt service routine in the
driver). I do not know how to handle multiple interrupt routines yet,
though there are plenty of examples that work in my computer (my scsi
device driver is on the IRQ and its source code explicitly talks about
multiple interrupt service routines for multiple devices on the same
IRQ).
