It responded to Ctrl-A Z? Good, then it should have brought up a menu. Near the bottom of that menu, it says "Select function or press Enter for none.", which means just what it says--choose what you want to do, or press Enter to get back to the main screen. From that screen, you should hit O to bring up the configuration menu; from that menu, select Serial Port Setup. In that screen, you need to set the port to /dev/ttyS1 or /dev/cua1 (try the tty device first; if it doesn't work, try the cua device). Once you've set the serial port properly, hit Esc a couple of times to return to the main screen. There, type "AT" (without the quotes) and press Enter. The modem should respond OK. If so, that tells you that the port and modem are functioning properly. -- Dan Brown, KE6MKS, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Since all the world is but a story, it were well for thee to buy the more enduring story rather than the story that is less enduring" -- The Judgment of St. Colum Cille
Re: [newbie] Anyone used this Main Board??
A friend of mine also just suggestes this too..must be right then! Thanks. Will try it ASAP!!!

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.

Re: [newbie] hey guys
From: Pliler Main Unit [EMAIL PROTECTED] No, I meant to say it didn't respond to the crtl A Z. Did it do anything at all in response to this key combination? If not, you might not have been doing it correctly. You should hit Ctrl-A, release those keys, then hit the letter Z. If that doesn't work, something's hosed, I'd think.
Re: [newbie] hey guys
Hi Dan, Seems like I tried it all combo's but I had not known that was the way, will try it now and get b ack to you.

Thanks That's a confusing message you've posted! Visual C++ is not available for Linux. Microsoft couldn't compete with the compilers already available for the platform. The IDE might be nice, but I'm sure that with a bit of searching you could find something comparable. I know MetroWorks has ported their CodeWarrior IDE to Linux (saw it at CompUSA a couple days ago and almost bought it). Compiling C++ source on Linux only requires that you install the g++ and libraries packages and you should be up and running. -- Steve Philp [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [newbie] hey guys
Dan, Well I went back, and it still didn't seem to work hitting the keys as you state. But this time when I opened minicom, it says its configuring the modem.

At this point I htt the Crl A Z and nothing. again to get out I have to reboot.

Any clues or thoughts would be appreciated. I have looked thru the Hardware How Tos.and may have missed something. Thanks in advance Eric ++ Eric Greetings from Canberra. I too have a motherboard with a SiS chipset. To get XFree86 going you need to get a copy of the current version 3.3.3.1 - which offers plenty of support for SiS chips. Older versions such as those supplied with Slackware 3.6, Red Hat 5.2 will probaly NOT work! Mandrake includes the latest servers. I elected to buy Mandrake from LSLat http://www.lsl.com.au definitely much less bother than downloading and installing all those files. Price was $6.95 (plus postage). If you don't install Mandrake ... but just the latest version of XFree86, you may have to use xf86Config ... because the standard VGA server will not work ... so XF86Setup, Xconfigurator which use this server ... will NOT work. At present I am getting a limited range of displays (ie 2)... but I do have a working model. For information SuSE also market a brand new special server for SiS chips. I got it off the internet site okay (using Lynx), but I could not get it configured. Not enough linux experience you see. Finally ... this chipset pinches RAM to run the video ... so be generous with your RAM. I use 64 meg ... but 8 is set aside for video. What's left is more than enough to run xwindows.
