Edit /etc/isapnp.conf and simply remove the preceding "#" to the dma and I/O settings that your card uses. If all is ok save the file then reboot and isapnp will now wake up your card. Use sndconfig to generate the modules.conf and test the card to hear Linus say "Linux". Gilbert PS Read up on isapnp tools on the /usr/docs directory for more info.

That will work, but (1) it's no easier than just making the symlink by hand, and (2) it uses the cua devices. I prefer using the ttyS devices, even in the 2.0.x kernels, to avoid messing things up in the inevitable migration to 2.2.x, which has done away with /dev/cua*--that's just one less thing to break.
[newbie] Compile ??
Are you able to compile in Visual C. I know we use the gcc program to compile in C . I have a friend at work that wants to know if the gpp compiler for Visual C++ is available in Linux. I am trying to get him to switch over and this is one of the questions I can not answer. Thanks James J. Capone Webmaster http://www.angelfire.com/biz2/Linux Asst.

Which port is your modem attached to? Which device is kppp set to use for the modem? Most likely, kppp is set to use /dev/modem. If so, you've got two choices. First, you can change kppp to use /dev/ttyS[com-1] for the modem, where [com-1] is one less than the com port number where the modem's attached--if your modem is on com3:, you'd use /dev/ttyS2. The second option is to do this as root: # cd /dev # rm modem # ln -s ttyS[com-1] modem Either way, this should set kppp up to use your modem on the correct port.

[newbie] built-in sound woes
Can I replace the sound card built into my motherboards with a new card? My Micron 233 mmx has an intel motherboard with built-in sound. Works fine in Win95, but in Linux, I get lots of static, and every mouse movement make static noise, too. The built-in chip is a yamaha but Windows indicates there is a soundblaster there, too (my computer has Win95 on one hard drive and on the other, Linux Mandrake--the version with Redhat 5.2). Could I simply install a new sound card? Must I disable the on-board sound? I want to escape Windows. Anyway, any ideas out there? Steve Winston _ Do You Yahoo!?

[newbie] hey guys
Hi, I installed the LM, 5.3 from CD, last friday. For 4 days I didn't know you had a taskbar at the bottom , of the X windows. I thought the dadgum OS, was more or less worthless except to prg's, geeks etc. THEN I DISCOVERED I HAD PROGRAMS, OLE. Now I ran KPPP, and configured my IPS settings, but at the time I didn't hAVe a modem (except USB), now I put an external serial port modem on and tried to go back to KPPP, and query the modem, it said it couldn't find one. SO, how do I get my modem recognized? Make it simple, for simps like me, with no knowledge of this OS, please. AND THANKS A MILLION. Will Pliler

Re: [newbie] Anyone used this Main Board??
I've been keeping quiet on this one waiting for identification of the board, but i would second that it sounds like a PCChips M571 motherboard. I couldn't even get the sound/graphics working under windows, so disabled them and installed seperate items, so can't help under Linux ;-( The computer based on that board only lasted in my possesion for a mere 6 months before i junked it.

If the m/b is what I think it is, (a TXProII that I used as well) then your x-server should be set to SiS 5598. The sound is the ever present and ever irritating SoundPro chipset. This one is not supported in Linux as of yet, AFAIK. Other than that, it should work fine. (I've disabled the video unit though, in favour of a better supported Matrox card). I don't think there would be any distinguishing markings on it though...but it could well be a PCChips board. Regards, -- -- Kuraiken - Apprentice Codecaster --
