RedHat 6.2 comes with Xfree86 3.3.6, which supports the Rage128 chipset
natively. 6.1 came with 3.3.5, which doesn't. HTH,

Subject: Sound Configuration with Yamaha XG
Date: Sun, 09 Apr 2000 21:26:32 GMT
I am using R.H. 6.1. My sound card is a Yamaha XG 64V Wavetable.
When I run sndconfig it recognizes my card as a Yamaha PCI sound card
YMF-724F [DS-1 Audio Controller] but it tells me that it isn't supported.
Is there a command I can use that will let me manually choose the sound
card, kind of like xconfigurator, so that I can experiment? I've been told
soundblaster will work. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi
I just installed my Mandrake Linux for the 4th time. I am not sure if
I have a
bad CD but the installation program froze up during the install a few
times
before I got lucky. Prior attemps to upgrade version 6.0 gave me the
same
freezing so I thought I would go for a clean install.
My CMI8330 sound card worked okay under version 6.0 but now does not
under 7.0.
I have tried numerous setting with no luck. It was set up under
Windows 98 at
memory address 0530-0537
IRQ 11
DMA 00
I do not see the address area in Mandrake 7.0 listed.
This sound card is integrated into the motherboard and is a common
one. I am
resisting the urge to disable it as I have done with the SiS AGP
video.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!

Does anyone know where I can get an XF86 3.3.6 server with i810 support
built in - this doesn't come as standard and has to be built in at compile
time(this seems pointless to me, they say it's because it requires the
agpgart module. So what?). I don't have enough bandwidth for the source
though :(
So if anyone knows where I can find one, or has one they are willing to
email me. Let me know...
Thanks in advance,

Hi -- I have been trying to install RedHat 5.2 on a Compaq Presario 4532 since
last December!
The installation floppy cannot get past the first page of stuff. The last line
on the screen is "Testing HLT instruction," then the machine freezes.
I am 90% certain that the 4532 has an AMD K6-II processor. The RedHat knowledge
base indicates that some motherboard + K6 combinations do not properly wake up
from the HLT instruction, so I am mucho suspicious of a hardware problem.
Is there a Linux release that does not rely on HLT to put an idle process to
sleep? I have already tried Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 without success.
Thanks for any tips!

Subject: Ziatech 6660 and Linux
Date: 2 Jul 1999 10:51:47 GMT
Hi;
I'm wondering if anybody has had experience with the Ziatech 6660 four
port serial board and Linux? We have one here but it is giving us grief.
Looking in the hardware and serial HOWTOs I've noted that this card is
not listed as supported.
We are building an imbedded system using Linux as the operating system.
The hardware format is CompactPCI. The CPU is a PC compatible X86 board.
We plan to use a Ziatech 6660 board for the serial ports. The Linux
distribution is RedHat 5.2 and the kernel is 2.0.36.
From reading the manual the Ziatech 6660 seems to consist of 4 16C650
UARTs. These UARTs are located in I/O space in a contiguous block, with
a length 0f 0x20, anchored at some base address. Each UART occupies
0x08 bytes in I/O space. The register set appears to be identical to
the the 16550A's set. Additionally, there is a common register at the
base + 0x20 that contains four bits that may be used to dtermine the
source of a particular interrupt.
I have configured this board using the following:
/bin/setserial -v /dev/ttyS4 port 0xe000 irq 10 uart 16550 ^fourport
/bin/setserial -v /dev/ttyS5 port 0xe008 irq 10 uart 16550 ^fourport
/bin/setserial -v /dev/ttyS6 port 0xe010 irq 10 uart 16550 ^fourport
/bin/setserial -v /dev/ttyS7 port 0xe018 irq 10 uart 16550 ^fourport
To test this board I have been catting ASCII files to it. This works
in that data is sent out the port. However, at the end of the data file
the the kernel may freeze (no response on the console, to pings etc).
Whether it freezes or not seems to depend on the number of bytes
transmitted. For instance I can cat a 71131 byte file with no problems
but a 3416 byte file will fail. The problem is reproducable WRT the
number of bytes. That is, transmitting 71131 will always succeed and
transmitting 3416 will always fail. Presumably the problem is occuring
when a close is done on the port.
I've tried varying the parameters to setserial including trying all
UART type from 8250 to 16650V2. I've also tried bringing the register
at base + 0x20 into play using set_multiport. These have not had much
success.
Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers

It isn't just an imitation of a AST four port is it ???

ie I had quite a bit of trouble setting up my four port card, altho I didn't
get into it as much as you have. grin
Anyways after trying just about every option, I ended up trying the

I just set it up as a AST 4 port board. But there is 2 set

Crack it. M$ will be laughed out of court if you bought it, then they

Perhaps, but in this country even if they didn't have a case, they could
easily force an individual or small company into bankrupcy just through

I am so poor I qualify for legal aid.
to MS, spending months in the courtroom means little relative to their
bottom line,
After a while, they'd pay me a lot of money to avoid setting a

to me, I'd have trouble hiring 1 lawyer for 1 day in

If you have a strong case, you could try approaching the many anti-M$
people. M$ would then pay *you* to avoid setting a precedent. The
above only works when people are poor and/or unprincipled.

First, are you using a WINMODEM? If so, give it up to charity, it's not
going to work with Linux. WINMODEMs (per the name) implements a ton of
funcitonality in Windows code. Nice, huh, for Microsoft and Intel, but bad
for Linux users. If you're using one of these, you'll need to find one that
doesn't require Windoze 95/98 for operation.
Second, look at the "statserial" command via the man pages (man statserial).
This will let you know if Linux is seeing the modem.
If you need other info/links, I've got a portal site at http://www.emuse.net
that I compiled to help me in my day-to-day work with Linux.
Good luck,

Hello All,
I have been trying to setup up Linux to recognize my modem, and to
configure a PPP connection to my ISP. I have read most of the man
pages, and the HOWTOs. Not much info on setting this up. I tried using
linuxconf, but I don't seem to get anywhere. When I say connect, its
just quiet. Shouldn't I hear dial tone, dialing, handshaking... I
don't think that Linux is recognizing my modem. Any advice about what
tools and utilities I should use to get this thing rolling would be
great.
Thanks,
Scott
