You MIGHT try the XF86_Mach64 SVGA server and see if that works... that's what most of the other ATI cards use. John The SuSE X server for the rage 128 is in the "apps" directory on the 6.1 CD. IMHO this would probably work much better than the XF86_Mach64 SVGA one. -WBD

[newbie] kxicq (nearly there)
Does anyone know of where the pluggins are for kxicq. Downloaded the snapshot 01112000 just fine from kxicq.org but now I learn I need the plugins. Went back to the site but couldn't find them. Note, I have only just figured out rpm downloads, no tar.gz please as they are still a mystery. Cheers, Andy

First, Thanx to Jaguar and George Jones! I finally discovered that my video card is functional! :0) The windows are drawed correctly.. but the texts, appear like black blocks...

[newbie] Pointer Sticking
I have installed Mandrake 7.0, and I love it. The new XFree86 handles my video card (Savage3D) much better than before, and my on-board sound chip (Maestro) now functions, too. But: frequently my mouse pointer will freeze up, sometimes first jumping to the upper-right and freezing there, and there's nothing I can do (I guess) but do a ctrl-alt-backspace, and then the pointer is "free" again. Of course, this disconnects my modem, too, and is a pain otherwise. Does anyone else have this problem? And, does anyone have a solution? Thanks!
Re: [newbie] How do I install Mandrake to a 2nd IDE hard drive?
- Original Message - From: "Greg Bell" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2000 3:12 AM Subject: [newbie] How do I install Mandrake to a 2nd IDE hard drive? I've been reading all the good reviews on Mandrake 7. I'm interested in giving it a try due to its easy install feature. The last time I tried to install Linux, I totally screwed up my system. However Mandrake 7 looks like a fairly easy install with most of what I want already included in the distribution. So I think I will give it another go. I have one question: I have two IDE hard drives in my computer (c: drive is a 6GB d: drive is a 4GB). I have Windows 98 on the 6GB drive, and really nothing on the 4GB. For my Mandrake 7 install, I would really like to keep Windows on my 6GB and install Mandrake on the 4GB (and give Mandrake full access to the whole 4GB drive), and use some sort of boot manager to toggle between the two at boot up (I guess LILO, unless if there is something better). I've looked everywhere on the Internet, and found that most pages that explain how to have Windows and Linux installed on the same machine, all explain how to do the install on the same drive. I haven't found any sites that explain how to install Linux on a 2nd drive. Do any of you know of any sites that would explain how to install Mandrake 7 to an empty 2nd drive in a very step-by-step way? Thanks for you information! Greg You could use something like Boot Magic to boot to your other drive or LILO. I have 2 similar setups and I use LILO on one and the version of Boot Magic that came with the 6.1 dist. that I bought (Macmillian 6.5). You should download the ISO of 7.0 and boot directly to CD, it'll walk you right through the LILO setup.

Hi Ronald,
I don't know I've development files for gcc/g++ or not, I installed mandrake

If this option don't include the development files please point me to where

[newbie] Who runs an intern ISDN Card with MD 6.1 ?
Hi to everyone out I've tried to install ISDN for a few days and now I found it a bit boring =:-( I use MD 6.1 ; have got a CD for testing. I found an "kisdn-1.0.1_2-mdk6-kde-1.1.i386.rpm" but it seems to be bad. I got an error installing the rpm. By downloading I only found an Kisdn_1.1.. package ( no mdk Version! ) The above isn't at MD nor RedHat. I installed the newer. It seems to work until I want to get an connection. I only get an error after "ifconfig ippp0 up" that "dialing of ippp0 failed" So, what's wrong ? I tested the IPPP0 dev with isdnctrl list ippp0 - everyline seems to be ok "isdnctrl dial ippp0" brings up the same error msg. What I found ( or better not found ) are the scripts / files mentioned in some docs at /etc/isdn and /etc/ppp. As I know there have to be a few pointing to ippp0. I can't find any. only the defaults is it possible that MD uses an other way to save their scripts and running isdn? Hardware has been tested ( with SUSE Linux - installed and ready to go! It works as it has to do) Hisax shows the same EA ; IRQ ;... like the one installed at MD. Questions: is there an other way to test the ISDN calling by hand as I 've done with loading all the parts with isdnctrl into ippp0 and then using "isdnctrl dial ippp0"? Who has a running ISDN connection? Who is willing to help me? ( please don't write " Why don't you use SUSE if you had it up and go ?! " I want to UNDERSTAND why it's ( not ) running! so please help (if you can) Bye Peter Tel: +49 (30) 742 61 10 Fax:+49 (30) 743 750 02 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ #: 55400701
[newbie] Getting more than 8bpp from Xfree86?
The system recognizes that I can do more than 8bpp. My XF86Config file lists 8, 16, and 32bpp entries under the "accel" device, which it is using, as the X server version actually in use is XF86_MACH64 or something similar with MACH64 in the name (I have a 4meg video card with the ATI Mach64 chipset and it's sweet). Obviously, it is choosing the 8bpp mode. Apparently, the way to get other bpp is with something like startx -- -bpp 16 or startx -- -bpp 32 but I've grepped my root filesystem upwards, downwards, sideways, and inside-out and can't find where startx is being (automatically) run at startup. I looked in rc, rc.local, rc.sysinit, and inside the rc.5 directory (I *think* starting the X server is runlevel 5 stuff?) in /etc/rc.d, then I tried grepping from "/", and nowhere does startx appear in anything resembling a bootup script. Nor do the afore-mentioned things in the rc.d directory appear to contain anything to do with starting the X server. As near as I can determine, the X server isn't actually being run at startup, and while I type at a root console I hallucinate the KDE :-) -- .*.

[newbie] Config Problems
Recently my NT server which contained the gateway for my network connection to cable modem died. I am attempting to set up a Mandrake 7.0 (Air) box to act as a firewall and router. The computer in question is an HP Pavilion 200 mmx Pentium with 32 MB of ram and a 4+gb drive. The connection to the Cable Modem is a 3c509b (eth0) and the network card for my internal network is a Genius GE2500III (windows and another redhat box use the realtek 8129 drivers) (eth1). Both ethx cards fail during startup, I can do an insmod on the 3c509 driver and get it running as eth0, but I cannot get the eth1 card up at all. Lothar shows only 1 card and calls it a realtek 8029 and says that it is running, the 3c509 is not shown. I have attempted to compile a fresh kernel in hopes of getting both cards to work, but have been unable, even though I have loaded all the development modules. when i go to "/usr/src/linux" and do a "make xconfig, or make menuconfig" I get a message saying "make: *** No rule to make target `xconfig'. Stop" I had planned to use this computer as a firewall and network server, but I am dead in the water until I can solve the ehternet modules problem. Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance -- James Mellema, CRNA MA -- Linux User 71650

Cable Modem 30 Mbps (down) ADSL Modems 1-9 Mbps (down) T-1 1.54 Mbps T-3 44.7 Mbps so cable modems are much closer (in ability) to a T3 than dsl. My cable modem is supposed to be capped at 512kbs (bits not bytes) up and down, but when I DLed RedHat two days ago I got an average of 3.09Mbs. I got the entire file (just under) 650 megabytes in 36 minutes. zach Well you heard very, very wrong. Cable modems are 1.5megs tops, and you don`t even get that. You must be thinking of a T3, because cablem modems *dont* do 100mps. My in-house LAN is 100mps, but thats a LAN, and i dont even get 100mps on that. Sorry to burst your bubble, but with cable you`ll get around 5k to about 600kpsnot 100mps. ah yeah BTW, my DSL line can smoke cable modems too. It all depends on the server you are d/l`ing from, and what kind of DSL package you buy. ~ Jerrud D.

Re: [newbie] Hi
Quite easy actually. Firstly, You need to make sure that your computer supports a bootable CD. Most new computers do support this feature, hence it shouldn't be a problem. Go into the BIOS and make sure that BOOT FROM CD is set to ON or YES Also make sure that the boot sequence in the BIOS is set to CDROM,A,C put in a bootable CD in your cdrom drive, hit the reset button, and let the magic happen :-) At 10:21 AM 2/6/00 +1300, you wrote: How do I boot from a cd ?

To boot from CD, you have to go into cmos and change the boot order. If your cmos does not support it, boot to DOS with cd suppport, switch to the cdrom (the man7 one), change to the DOS folder, and run MAKEDISK. It will make a disk (floppy) that you can use to boot to the cdrom for installation.

I have one question: I have two IDE hard drives in my computer (c: drive is a 6GB d: drive is a 4GB). I have Windows 98 on the 6GB drive, and really nothing on the 4GB. For my Mandrake 7 install, I would really like to keep Windows on my 6GB and install Mandrake on the 4GB (and give Mandrake full access to the whole 4GB drive), and use some sort of boot manager to toggle between the two at boot up (I guess LILO, unless if there is something better). I've looked everywhere on the Internet, and found that most pages that explain how to have Windows and Linux installed on the same machine, all explain how to do the install on the same drive.

This may vary on your pc. . Medium devsel. Fast back-toback capable. IRQ 11. . . . . . . I/O at 0x6400. I/O at 0x6800 The port and irq might be different on your pc. I/O at 0x6c00 Step B. Pay attention to the IRQ, and First I/O address and type in the following command: setserial /dev/modem uart 16550A port 0x6400 irq 11 my system required /dev/ttyS0, you may try that also. Step C. In order for Linux to configure the modem at boot-up, head to I had to head to /etc/rc.d/ directory and usuing a text editor, I edited the rc.local file and inserted: setserial /dev/modem uart 16550A port 0x6400 irq 11 This worked for my modem on my system. I don't know how these things work but if you want to try this, you can first post this info and see if anyone would know if might help. Good Luck.

RE: [newbie] app for the wintv/radio card
Yo all! This thread reminds me, my son has a Flyvideo II television card and I was wondering if this card is perhaps supported by Linux. Rgds: Michael Perry. RD. Dep. Netafim Magal.

[newbie] 2.2.13-22 kernel update
OK, I was looking for an update for the stdlibc and gcc gcc+ libraries and such (got tired of installing software that required one library or another that didn't install when I selected "everything" from the 6.1 install) so me thinks "Let's try the update button on the KDE panel". Stupid move. Every thing d/l'd fine so I reboot and my machine erupts. I get " ~^[[24~^[[24 "'s streaming across my screen, the internal speaker is screaming as the filesystem is being mounted (NOT a pleasant thing at 12:30 am). Doah, I forgot to edit /etc/lilo.conf to reflect the new 2.2.13-22 kernel and rerun lilo. OK that's done but I still have the same problem and any time I enter into a terminal mode my screen again erupts into streaming " ~~" anytime I look at it crosseyed and seem to be having general keyboard problems typing this. I also now get an error msg that my kernel does not have kppp support but launches it anyway when I hit "OK". This folks is rediculous, I suppose it's my fault for trying to fix something that wasn't broke but all I wanted was the libraries that should have loaded in the first place. Please, anyone got any suggestions Joe Gardner
