Hi Scott,
you lucky, I couldn't use my CD-writer with Linux and I would like to
get some infos from you:
- what kernel version are you running ?
- did you had to recompile it?
The HOWTO says its necessary to recompile but I don't understand why.
The ide-scsi emulation and the generic scsi driver are present as
modules and should be automatically loaded... but they don't.
Thanks in advance

Subject: ES1371 soundcard setup problem - not the usual one...
Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2000 12:11:54 GMT
I have an ES1371 installed in a twin processor machine running Debian
2.2. I have compiled a kernel with the ES1371 driver in, and that is
undoubtedly the kernel I am using:
bash-2.03$ more /proc/version
Linux version 2.2.17 (root@gododdin) (gcc version 2.95.2 2220
(Debian GNU/Linux)) #12 SMP Fri Dec 22 10:41:19 GMT 2000
As the system starts up, the ES1371 card is correctly found:
bash-2.03$ dmesg | grep es1371
es1371: version v0.22 time 10:34:24 Dec 22 2000
es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274 device id 0x1371 revision 0x06
es1371: found es1371 rev 6 at io 0xb800 irq 10
es1371: features: joystick 0x200
es1371: codec vendor TRA (0x545241) revision 35 (0x23)
es1371: codec features none
es1371: stereo enhancement: no 3D stereo enhancement
The card shows up correctly in interrupts:
gododdin:/usr/src/linux# grep 1371 /proc/interrupts
10:693882 IO-APIC-level es1371
And in PCI:
gododdin:/usr/src/linux# grep 1371 /proc/pci
Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 (rev 6).
So the card is there and is at least responding to the system. However,
sound does not work and /dev/sndstat reports that the device isn't
there:
gododdin:/usr/src/linux# cat /dev/sndstat
cat: /dev/sndstat: No such device
According to the Sound-HOWTO,
'"No such device" means that sound driver is not loaded
or linked into kernel. Go back to section 4.2 to correct this.'
This is emphatically not the case. I have checked, and checked, and
checked again. I've also compiled kernels with the ES1371 driver as a
module, but they don't work either (same symptoms).
The sound used to work when the machine was running Mandrake 7.0; there
have been no hardware changes.
Any suggestions?

I got it!
I spent too much money: bought an expensive cable for UDMA-4.
So the promise-ultra66 card enabled UDMA-4-mode, but
the PDC202xxx-support was only tested upto UDMA-2!
Now I got no problems, when switching to dma mode with
hdparm -d1 -X66 /dev/...

You mean the one with the "NetGear" chip? I believe the newer tulip

There are supposed to be drivers on the CD-ROM that comes with the

Hi, I'm a Linux newbie, finally got SB live working (figured out how to
compile a new kernel (2.2.11) 'cause I was told I needed the latest and
greatest only find out that the SB driver I have ( emu10k1-0.3b) doesn't
support anything past 2.2.5-15 (which is what I started with). So now I'm
back to 2.2.5-15 and I have sound. The first question is "what's up with
midi? It doesn't seem to support it (I don't know if the programs I'm using
support it, I'm using the apps in Gnome (X11amp for one)) but I don't even
see a control for midi in the mixer panel. Do I have something configured
wrong in the driver, the kernel, or do I need a different App. The second
question: is there a newer driver that supports 2.2.11 or how do I "force"
emu10k1-0.3 to load with it (and is this a good idea) ?
Thanks all (for any answers
to this post and to all the other answers that I didn't even know the
question for)

point of info:
even though a vendor may 'test' for overclocking, I found a good test
that will show weakness in many 'qualified' chips. its called
'seti@home' ;-) ;-)
I was running a dual 300a celeron (slot1) system at 450mhz. it was
fine and VERY stable for dual kernel builds, etc, etc. ran without a
hitch doing lots of web serving, compiling, browsing, cd-r burning -
the works.
but about 4 days of continuous seti@home work, doing 4 work-units (4
processes) in the background, the system finally locked up. had to
hard reboot it.
I'm now looking into better cooling (more fans, vents, etc).
bottom line: I doubt a vendor with a vested interest will totally beat
on the chips to guarantee they'll be stable under ALL conditions. its
up to you to do this.
and seti@home is a good cause and a good (great) cpu tester.

Kernels in the 2.0 series do not report per-processor timings in top
or xosview. You need a patch, or preferably, upgrade to the 2.2 series.
I would do:
grep "^processor" /proc/cpuinfo

Any OpenGL application that links to a Voodoo hardware-enabled OpenGL (i.e.
Xi Graphics OpenGL or Metrolink OpenGL) or OpenGL-like library (i.e. Mesa
with the 3Dfx support turned on) will use the 3D acceleration. (I don't know
if Xi Graphics or Metrolink actually *do* use the 3D acceleration, but they
at least have officially-licensed OpenGL products for Linux.)
I recently got my Voodoo2 working under Linux, and the frame rate for my
home-brew OpenGL program went up by a factor of 4 vs. software rendering.
I was actually expecting a greater speedup, but I still need to tweak and
optimize a bit.
For info on using the Voodoo[1,2,3,etc.] cards under Linux see:
http://www.mesa3d.org/about.html
http://www-hmw.caribel.pisa.it/fxmesa/index.shtml
http://glide.xxedgexx.com
Maybe if someone gets Half Life working under Linux I'd be able to play it
without it crashing my machine every 30 minutes! :-) Half Life rocks, but
it's extremely unstable.
FYI, see:
http://www.winehq.com/Apps/query.cgi
Apparently several people have tried running Half Life under WINE, with
discouraging results. It doesn't surprise me -- the thing barely runs
under DOS/Windows, much less under Linux/WINE!

Cable modems are pretty fool-proof in terms of compatibility, *as long as the
net card is supported.* However, I know that Rockwell at least is making an
internal xDSL/V.90/Ethernet/HomeNet chipset, that very well could be
windows-only and I don't know about ISDN, but I'm sure those two
technologies could be made Win-only, just like modems have been! Be careful,
don't assume the problem is going away just because one TYPE of
communications device is going away!
