[newbie] wyse 60 emulation ona linux client
my company currently uses a ms windows emulation application (Anzio) to emulate wyse 60 to access the PICK application on a redhat server supplied by the vendor. I'm trying to use a linux client to access PICK instead, but having problem in setting the wyse emulation. Can someone help me? If i'm successful, my boss will deploy linux instead ofMS windows since the PICK is all that my dept does anyway. thanks.

Re: [newbie] Sound
Sorry to say it, but you have a configuration conflict there. If your sound card and your floppy drive are trying to use the same DMA channel, then the solution is to change one of them if at all possible. If your sound card has jumpers for it's configuration on the card, try changing the one for the DMA chanel in conflict to a chanel not in use (assuming there is one). If your sound card is an ISA PnP card like mine, then you may need to run the isapmptools to set up your card. To do this, from a Konsole window or a Console (text mode), run isapnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf Next you must edit the isapnp.conf file, enabling the correct parameters to eliminate the conflict. Finally, you run isapnp to set up the card. I know that this is a daunting process, but there is help right there on your system in /usr/doc/isapnptools-1,18, and in the man pages, using man isaapnp, and man isapnp.conf. I hope this is of some help, Ernie R_Yeo wrote: Hi, Running KDE1.1.1, Mandrake6.0. Whenever I boot up my notebook(not often- about once a week), I do not get any sound until I run sndconfig. Everything runs fine on the sndconfig, and then it tells me that I already have a config file and would I like to overwrite. I hit yes and I'm away. It's more irritating that anything else. My initial trouble shooting brought me to realise that one of the problems was because my FDD (external - from the parallel port) and the sound card was like seeing who would get the first DMA. But, if I leave my FDD continuously plugged in, I would still get this problem. Same problems encountered when I was running RH6.0. Any suggestions, anyone? -- Ronald Yeo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [newbie] sound card install and video adjustments
Try using Xconfigurator, it is far more user friendly. It should give you that list you refered to. It is also a Konsole program, so you should run it from a Konsole window, or a Console (text mode). Ernie Tony Zocolillo wrote: Hello, Does anyone have experience getting a CMI 8338 chip sound card to work with Linux. Supports lists the CMI 8330 chip but not the 8338. I've tried every card driver in the list and no luck. I do get some trace of sound with a few of the choices, but I have to turn the speakers on full power and I can barely hear it. I have a couple ESS boards coming in the mail this week, so I'll probably switch to one of those. I gave up on getting the SiS5597 on-board video to work and switched to a ATI Mach 64 2Mb PCI. I did try using the XFree86 3.3.5 but when I run XF86Setup, I couldn't get it to work...couldn't get it to reconfigure back to VGA16...so I end up reinstalling Linux each time. The ATI card works well except I can't figure out how to change resolution. I'm currently at 1024x768x16bit. Do I use xf86config? Whenever I run this program I seen to get problems as a result. This program asks for monitor information "free form" and when I put my monitor info in, I get errors relating to monitor selection on restart. When I installed Mandrake, I was give a list to choose from, but in xf86config, I get no list...thus the info I put in is aparently invalid. How do I use xf86config just to change one thing, or can't I? What info do I use for the monitor (I can't remember the list verbatim)? Can I use "CUSTOM"? I also have a problem with the modem, which I believe is a winmodem as it is somehow tied to the sound card (probably for voice functions). If I disable the onboard sound, I loose the modem too. So I have picked up a Zoom V.90 modem also. I hope that once I put the ESS sound and Zoom modem in, I'll be full functional. Thanks, Tony Z.
Re: [newbie] Office Suites
Yup! My cable company has done the upgrade. The TV looks great, and that's why they promise the 512kbps connection. They sell me a NIC card for about $150.00, including the install and setup, then $40.00 / month for the access fee. I guess that's not too bad. The reason I'm holding off is to be sure that they have all the little gremlins out of their system so I don't get bit. Also, I want to upgrade my 'puter - it's a 486 style AMD X5-133 5x86 on a 486a VIP mainboard. I think it's one of those boards we keep getting told will give us problems (from Korea or some such place), but it was all I could afford when I put this thing together. I was luckey though, It has worked great for me. The only problem I have is that all the Mandrake updates are "for a diferent architecture" (hope I spelled that right). I think that's because they're built for pentium systems or later, and this one definitely ain't one 'o those. Ernie Jesse Royall wrote: Ernie.. watch out and make sure with those cable modems. Of course this is only what I have herd from my cable company and we are out in the middle of nowhere. On my end they only have the recieve setup - which means I am paying 4x for internet access just for the speed. Untill they upgrade the coax to the House. next the FCC has not issued a standard for cable modems... so what you buy now might not work when they issue a standard. So, I would have to rent a box till i can get my own...With ATT (I mean TCI Cable (I mean)) around here I hear they have good service. and I know someone in CA that loves it.. not only does he get digital cable but he has a perm. internet connection.

ADSL might be a bit iffy since it is not available everywhere, but maybe the T1 line might be an option. You could get better bandwidth than with your 33.6 modem (I think you would have to replace the modem), and the line noise issue would be greatly diminished if not eliminated all together. The down side will be that the cost will undoubtedly be higher, and likely considerably so. But it can't hurt to check. There may also be connection options that I know nothing about since I have only used a modem.

Or a myriad of other things, because I'm tripping over problems every day. It's time for Mandrake to realize that those of us who buy our distributions expect a bit more than we would if it were handed to us free. We expect that our money will ensure that things are tested, packaged, and ready to use. If that is an unreasonable thing for me to expect from Mandrake, I'll gladly take my money elsewhere. I'd like to point out that up untill not all that long ago there were but a handfull of us. (some volunteers even) So extend the Beta testing periods on this stuff.

What is changing is that MandrakeSoft is now moving from business childhood to business adulthood. In the past it was a group of dedicated, enthusiastic people with a vision. And from the 5.2 version on you were targeting an audience much the same. Certainly there was a hope that there would be financial reward if you pulled it off, but it was a big gamble. Now, however, you've really started to get a lot of notice and well deserved attention, but you really are moving into bigger business world. And the Mandrake business model has got to change with it. Unfortunately, the new model you must have is exactly the same one where a few other competitors are already very good. People with names like Bill Gates and Scott McNealy and Larry Ellison. They may like and admire you just fine, but they'll eat you for lunch if you don't pay attention to the customer. As for Steve's point about cooker, look at the fact that MS has delayed Windows NT 5.0/Windows 2000 repeatedly. To make a real dent in the corporate world the stuff MUST work out of the box. Absolutely no excuses. Frankly, if this hiccup is the only one Mandrake ever has you'll rule the world.

Re: [newbie] MS Intellimouse, X Windows, and problems...
I have exactly the same configuration, but for me, I can't even set my mouse without my computer freezing.. I tried many different ways to fix it, without any luck. If you ever succeed in configuring it, please post how you did it!! Thanks, Tim I have a Diamond Viper V770 TNT 2 video card that I successfully installed the drivers for, which I am very proud of, since it was my first mod of linux. However, now that I have 1280x1024x32bpp resolution in X, I don't have a mouse that is working properly. What it is doing is as you move the mouse around, it is getting button press signals all over the place and popping all over the upper-left corner of the screen. I have played around with the settings in XF86Config to point the mouse device as /dev/mouse and /dev/psaux. I have also used the "Intellimouse" and "PS/2" mouse types. What is interesting about this problem is that when I had a more typical video card and the install figured out exactly what to set, the mouse worked great in X. Could it be an interrupt conflict? Has anyone else seen this problem...? Thanks, Dave

Yacketta/958157/EKC) Subject: [newbie] Bash and Aliases problem Hi everyone: I am trying to set up some aliases for frequently used commands. I have tried adding them to ~/.bashrc and /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc, but have not had any luck in getting bash to recognize the aliases. Would there be any reason at all that my ~/.bashrc would not get read by bash. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong here?? Thanks prabhakar
Re: [newbie] Bash and Aliases problem
When I make aliases, I put them into the /etc/bashrc file, so that no matter who I login as, I always have them. Here is how I formatted my aliases: alias ls="ls -Fa --color" This would alias the "ls" command to show all dot files in color. Othere commands should be similar such as: alias rm="rm -rf" This would alias the "rm" command to not ask for permission to delete and do it recursively (including subdirs, maybe a bad thing).

[newbie] Problems compiling with QT
(sorry about my English, it's poor...) Hi, I'm new in the list. I had Red Hat 6.0 , and I have installed Mandrake 6.1, from that I never could compile any application that uses QT library. (before installing Mandrake I had not problems about that). I wonder if some of you has had the same problem and if someone know how to solve it. thanks. arturo pd: obviously I have installed the QT library, and tried exporting the enviroment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH, with QT's path, but when I run ./configure, it appears a message indicating that it could not find the QT. ___ Arturo Federico Zambrano L.I.F.I.A.

Supports lists the CMI 8330 chip but not the 8338. I've tried every card driver in the list and no luck. I do get some trace of sound with a few of the choices, but I have to turn the speakers on full power and I can barely hear it. I have a couple ESS boards coming in the mail this week, so I'll probably switch to one of those. I had it working but when I got my Network card installed and got it limping I started having IRQ confilicts and havn't messed with it since. But it does work and I used the 8330 driver. I gave up on getting the SiS5597 on-board video to work and switched to a ATI Mach 64 2Mb PCI. I did try using the XFree86 3.3.5 but when I run XF86Setup, I couldn't get it to work...couldn't get it to reconfigure back to VGA16...so I end up reinstalling Linux each time. The ATI card works well except I can't figure out how to change resolution. I'm currently at 1024x768x16bit. Do I use xf86config? Whenever I run this program I seen to get problems as a result. This program asks for monitor information "free form" and when I put my monitor info in, I get errors relating to monitor selection on restart. When I installed Mandrake, I was give a list to choose from, but in xf86config, I get no list...thus the info I put in is aparently invalid. How do I use xf86config just to change one thing, or can't I? What info do I use for the monitor (I can't remember the list verbatim)? Can I use "CUSTOM"? I also have a problem with the modem, which I believe is a winmodem as it is somehow tied to the sound card (probably for voice functions). If I disable the onboard sound, I loose the modem too. So I have picked up a Zoom V.90 modem also. I hope that once I put the ESS sound and Zoom modem in, I'll be full functional. Thanks, Tony Z. As far as the SiS. Mine is running fine. I had to upgrade to the 3.3.5 of XF86Config and had to get it to show the card and load up the extra commands it needed then ran the XVidTune and straightened up the display and now it works. if you feel like fighting with it I can walk ya through it.

Re: [newbie] MS Intellimouse, X Windows, and problems...
I found the solution to this problem from a message I saw on DejaNews. Someone mentioned that there is a 'mouseconfig' program that will configure just the mouse. When I ran it, it looked just like the part of the linux-mandrake install that asked about the mouse. I selected the appropriate mouse and pressed ok, and presto! It worked. It filled in info that was close to what was said below. the device was "/dev/psaux" and I don't remember any ZAxisMapping, but I could be wrong there. I don't have my ethernet card set up over there yet, so I have to use Windows to send e-mail.

Thanks, Tim I have a Diamond Viper V770 TNT 2 video card that I successfully installed the drivers for, which I am very proud of, since it was my first mod of linux. However, now that I have 1280x1024x32bpp resolution in X, I don't have a mouse that is working properly. What it is doing is as you move the mouse around, it is getting button press signals all over the place and popping all over the upper-left corner of the screen. I have played around with the settings in XF86Config to point the mouse device as /dev/mouse and /dev/psaux. I have also used the "Intellimouse" and "PS/2" mouse types. What is interesting about this problem is that when I had a more typical video card and the install figured out exactly what to set, the mouse worked great in X. Could it be an interrupt conflict?

RE: [[newbie] MS Internet Explorer]
