Thanks... the kernel 2.4 docs were very helpful.

I have the same scanner, and I've gotten it to work under both a patched
version of 2.2.17 and the 2.4.* series. I found some useful information
at
http://www.linux-usb.org (a direct link to devices that are supported is
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/). Also, the Documentation directory
under
your kernel source tree gives some good info regarding both USB and
scanners.
Check out /your/path/to-kernel-source/Documentation/usb:
usb-help.txt
scanner-hp-sane.txt
There's probably some other useful documentation under there, but those
were the two I found most useful.
BTW, I just checked the modules I have running on my 2.4.2 system
(compiled
from clean source from www.kernel.org), and the usb/scanner related
modules
that I have loaded are:
usb-uhci
usbcore
scanner
Not sure if you rolled your own kernel, or if that's one that Suse puts
out,
but that could possibly be your problem too...
Sorry I can't give you specific advice, but hopefully these sources of
info
will get you on your way

Subject: How do I do this with Linux (ACB-4070 bridgeboard)
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 05:06:19 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I need to send specific Scsi commands to a Adaptec ACB-4070
bridgeboard. this older board does not get recognized as a disk drive.
(it won't yet as the drives are not formatted). What Scsi device do I
use to send the Scsi commands to format? SG? or SD? if SG then how do
I select a device on the second Scsi host adaptor, Scsi ID 0.
at this time I really don't understand the use of the SG devices (Scsi
Generic). Since there is required commands to tell the bridgeboard the
capacity of the RLL drives. This info later gets recorded on Track 0
of the drives themselves.
I believe I can modify the scsiformat program to properly send
the needed SCSI commands. But... I need to first know which /dev entry
to select? I have ALL scsi support compiled into my kernal. (Linux
2.0.39) as modules with the exception of the Scsi Disks as thats
needed to bootstrap the system.
I am mainly doing this as I want to tinker with these legacy
bridgeboards (I have two of them from different manufactures). I was
given the needed command info for the scsi commands. As I said I need
the DEVICE name to use to access the secondary controller at Scsi ID-0
for the bridgeboard.
Both of my Scsi cards ONLY support 7 devices from 0-6. one is
a Adaptec AHA 1542c, the other is a Adaptec AVA-2825VL Vesa Local Bus
controller.
Right now the AHA-1542c has no devices online and I may need
to turn parity OFF to make this board work (still doing research)

Hopefully _this_ is the right place to pose this question.
I have been asked about the posibility of porting a code base
from a dos machine to a linux machine.
Parts of the code accesses hardware ports via dos.h:
inport, inportb, outport, outportb
I was wondering what comparable functions are available when
dealing with a linux box (gcc)

Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2000 03:44:32 GMT
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.

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

There's an ad in the MicroWarehouse catalog (as is in others, I am sure)
for an all-in-one motherboard with a Cyrix MII/MediaGX chipset. One runs
at 200 MHz and the other at 233 Mhz. The price is arund $200. It has
integrated video and sound, and a couple of expansion slots. I hope this
description helps to identify what I am talking about, because I don't know
the name of the entire item nor any identifying numbers.
Anyway, my wife has an IBM PS/1 running at 25 MHz. I am considering
replacing its motherboard with the one I mentioned above as an inexpensive
way to put off buying a new system for her, which we really can't afford
anytime soon. I'm wondering first whether this replacement will work at
all, but I would also like to know if Linux will run with this motherboard.
Anyone know or who have done this themselves?
I apologize if this post lacks additonal needed information. Let me
know by follow-up and I will provide it if I can.
Thanks in advance!

Windoze easy to install?
Heck. I've been using Windoze since 3.0, then NT since 3.5, and Linux

Installation might be a snap from some distributions, but not from what I've

It's also more complete. It actually lets you paritition your

The rest is pretty much the same as a Windows install minus
the eye candy. Select and install some packages, let it

Windows only needs 2 or three reboots for the whole process (about the same as
Linux). As far as plug and play, it's more advanced than Linux's and
recognizes more devices more easily.

as it would take to put a DOS machine back together again.

I'll agree with you on the Windows help, but the Linux help is much more

Real computing details are like that, like things such as

not something you can get away from on a PC.
I'm not even talking about baseaddress and IRQ details. I'm talking about what should
be simple things, like when your printer won't print or your CD-ROM won't access a CD.
Unfortunately, Linux gives you the same error no matter what's wrong with your mounting
of a CD. ("Bad fs type, invalid block", etc., etc.) And when I tried to print the
first few times after installing a "fix", I didn't get any error messages of any kind.
It just plain wouldn't print. Couple this with the fact that many programs written by
