[newbie] X windows does not recognise graphics card
Tried to install 7.0 for the first time. It installed ok up to the point where it should configure X Windows. Instead of seeing the "Is this the correct setting?" display, monitor went completely dark. That seems to indicate that the graphics card is not supported?!? It is a #9GXE64 (powered by S3 Trio 64) - the original card in my 5 year old Dell. Having looked up the mandrakeuser.org website, I found that the S3 Trio 64 generic cards should be supported by the XF86_S3 driver in the XFree86 release. So, why can't I see the X Windows display, and how can I fix this? Rebooting the machine boots directly into the Linux command line prompt, so I can get into text based version of Linux. Well, getting into it does not mean I would know how to get around it, so easy on the advice, please Thanks Matt Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [newbie] Telneting
Andrew, Most ISP's as a rule no longer allow telneting except after very specific rules have been setup and established between the user and the ISP. This is primarily because of the prolipheration of hackers, (I hate using that term because a REAL hacker wouldn't do anything malicious...a REAL hacker is just another term for a VERY passionate programmer. not a child with a lot of knowledge and no principles on how to use it.) Because of the amount of malicious hacking that's gone on in the past 10 years ISP's have closed that door in order to protect themselves from outside attack. -- Mark ** =/\= No Penguins were harmed | ICQ#27816299 ** _||_ in the making of this | ** =\/= message...| Registered Linux user #182496 On Fri, 29 Sep 2000, Andrew Scotchmer wrote: Hi Just a quick question.

Re: [newbie] Question about 2nd HD/dual booting/NOT Windog...
Alan, Am I understanding you correctly? You have Linux on one of the SCSI drives and the /boot partition(s), the SWAP partitions, and the boot manager on the IDE drive? The reason I ask is because I'm considering building a new system and using SCSI drives in it for the sheer speed of them, and someone had mentioned to me that I would have to disable the IDE interfaces because otherwise the SCSI's won't boot. -- Mark ** =/\= No Penguins were harmed | ICQ#27816299 ** _||_ in the making of this | ** =\/= message...| Registered Linux user #182496 On Fri, 29 Sep 2000, Alan Shoemaker wrote: "Ronald J.

[newbie] pb with Soundcard on Tecra 8000

It worked when I had a RedHad distribution quite a long time ago, the problem appeared when I installed Mandrake 7.0, and is still here with Mandrake 7.1 When I open an audio file, I get the message - kmix : Could not open mixer. Perhaps you have no permission to access the mixer device. Login as root and do a 'chmod a+rw /dev/mixer*' to allow the access - Of course, the permission is fine. Using sounddrake 0.6.6, it seems that the soundcard Mandrake detected is : Generic compt. SB I/O (220); IRQ (5); DMA8 (0); DMA16/2 : (0); MPU401 I/O (void) I hear the test sound. BUT: When I select the proper soundcard installed in my laptop Yamaha OPL3-SA2 I/O (530); IRQ (5); DMA8 (0); DMA16/2 : (0); MPU401 I/O (330) (settings are correct, I checked my documentation) If I try to listen to the test sound, I get the message: - * /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdksecure/misc/opl3sa2.o: init_module: Device or resource busy * /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdksecure/misc/opl3sa2.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdksecure/misc/opl3sa2.o failed * /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdksecure/misc/opl3sa2.o: insmod opl3sa2 failed I know my Yamaha soundcard is supported, that it should work, and that it used to work.

Re: OT [newbie] Antique systems [was: Off-topic posts.]
Them were the days #;-D The machine I referred to was a strange old beast with a 6502 processor. It kept crashing because the heat melted the glue that held the stickers over the windows of the EPROMs (the UV killed the EPROMs) - we had to keep blowing them and re-programming the EPROMs. I thought all my birthdays had come at once when I finally got a QWERTY keyboard and a Hercules monochrome monitor so that I could program in assembly... I remember having many hours of fun with the Z80 as well (actually an 8080A). I had a version of the old arcade game 'Space Invaders' that ran in under one kilobyte of RAM! Eat yer heart out, Mr. Gates... One of my favorite tricks was the old 'zero-page' register - it almost halved the addressing space required, and greatly speeded up operation. Oh, the delights of having to load every calculation into the accumulator for every operation. The fun of having to initialize the data direction of a port before you could use it. The pain of placing redundant instructions inside nested loops to achieve time delays, calculated manually by the instruction time for each operation. The programmers of today don't know they're born... One of the beauties of Linux is that it allows you to get back to tight code, and real optimizations, rather than the slow bloatware of other systems. Regards, Ozz.

Re: [newbie] Question about 2nd HD/dual booting/NOT Windog...
Mark Weaver wrote: Alan, Am I understanding you correctly? You have Linux on one of the SCSI drives and the /boot partition(s), the SWAP partitions, and the boot manager on the IDE drive? The reason I ask is because I'm considering building a new system and using SCSI drives in it for the sheer speed of them, and someone had mentioned to me that I would have to disable the IDE interfaces because otherwise the SCSI's won't boot. [snip] Markin my bios I have the second channel of the IDE controller disabled , but that's because I have nothing hooked up to it and I figured that some day I might need the extra interrupt. So on the primary channel of the onboard IDE controller I have a 1.5 gig IDE HD as master and a ls-120 as slave. On the Adaptec scsi controller on channel A I have two 18.2 gig and one 9.1 gig scsi drives as scsi 0, 1, 2. On the same channel I also have a zip drive as scsi 5 and a CD-ROM burner as scsi 6. On scsi channel B, I have a flat bed scanner as scsi 6. I have a combo 3 1/2 5 1/4 floppy drive that is hooked to the floppy controller. In the system bios the 3 1/2 floppy is the primary boot device, the ls-120 is the secondary boot device, and the IDE drive is third boot device. If the bios detects a bootable CD in the scsi CD burner it overrides everything and boots from that device. So, as long as there's no discs in the 3 1/2 floppy or the ls-120 and there's not a bootable CD in the burner then the boot device is the IDE drive. It boots with BootMagic. I configure BootMagic and do partitioning with Partition Magic from the 200 meg dos (primary and bootable) partition running DR-DOS 7.02 on the IDE drive. Also on the IDE drive is an extended partition containing a common Linux swap partition (for use by all Linux installations on the system) and seperate boot partitions for all of the Linux installations on the system (I make them just one cylinder (about 7.8 megs) each. By the way this system booted and ran just fine when I had it set up more conventionally without the IDE hard drive and booting from the scsi 0 drive. The ls-120 was the master on the primary IDE controller then. Alan

[newbie] Problems with drivers
Hello, my name is Noel and I'm new in this mailing list and in the use of Linux Mandrake. I don't speak English very well. I hope they understand me. Recently install Linux Mandrake 7.0. This operating system doesn't accept my modem (Jaton - Cirrus Logic Chipset) neither my sound card Yamaha (YMF-724). I have found in Internet the drivers for these devices, but i don't know that to make with them. The readme file says: 1- First you must gather some information about your modem: I know the IRQ and I/O address. 2- Once you have edited "clm_config.h" for example: I edit that file and modify the data (IRQ and I/O). 3- Just run "make" and the package will be compiled: I don't know run " make ". Is this a function of Linux or an application? Where this? In the files that it download, there is a "makefile". Is this the file that I should run? As execute files in Linux?

Is this the file that I should run? As execute files in Linux? "make" is a utility that interprets the commands in a "makefile" and does a compile of some code. Since you've got a makefile, just execute make (from the commandline) in the directory where it resides. If that should not work for some reason, type "make -f makefile_name" Type "man make" for more information. By the way, your English is great!!

Um...something strikes me as odd. When you setup the connection did you leave the checkbox checked that mentions the "lock file"? If so, that might be your trouble. Unckeck that box and see what happens. It sounds as though it's locked. Kinda what Netscape does from time to time when it crashes and doesn't clean out the temp folder and leaves a lock file lying around to screw things up. -- Mark ** =/\= No Penguins were harmed | ICQ#27816299 ** _||_ in the making of this | ** =\/= message...| Registered Linux user #182496 On Sat, 30 Sep 2000, Daniel Stehm wrote: OK, having some problems with Mandrake 7.1, hoping to get some help.

Now, I cant even get the modem to respond when I go to 'query modem' When I set the modem to ttys0 it says "sorry the modem doesnt respond" and when its set to ttys1 it says "sorry the modem is busy".. even tried the port on /dev/modem, still no go.. i was able to get my internet working in SuSE6.4 with no problems, but this stumps the hell out of me.
