[newbie-it] XFree86 (3.3.6--4.0.1) ?

2001-02-12 Thread Gigi Giorgi

Ho incominciato con XFree86-4.0.1 su LM7.2 ma l'accelerazione 3d
hardware non c'e' (occorre forse il
kernel 2.4 con supporto agpgart ?) con la mia Matrox-G400. Oltretutto il
desktop e' tutto spostato a destra
e se bootstrappo per Windows dopo averlo centrato mi ritrovo il desktop
di Windows tutto a sinistra,
dipende dal driver mga_drv.o di Mandrake ?
Volendo tornare alla buona 3.3.6 di XFree86 lancio XFdrake (anche con
l'opzione --expert) e reconfiguro
scrupolosamente per XFree86-3.3.6. Rilancio il server X ed il comando
'XFree86 -version' cosa mi da'?
XFree86-4.0.1 ! Oltretutto Blender dinamico mi blocca il computer
completamente per problemi di librerie
OpenGL.
Qualcuno puo' consigliarmi su come tornare alla vecchia 3.3.6 in modo
pulito, o meglio passare da un
versione all'altra senza problematiche di incompatibilita' ?
Grazie,
Gigi

Ciao,
penso tu debba fare daccapo l'installazione e scegliere l'update.
Ad un certo punto ti chiedera' se vuoi cambiare la configurazione X e

veloce che non conosco.
Questa sicuramente funziona dato che l'ho utilizzata io ...

Check to see if you HPOJ module "alias" is in this file. If it is not there, you need

[newbie] Getting a ISA modem to work

2001-02-12 Thread Devin Rader

OK folks...I am a definate newbie so please bear with me as I discuss my
frustration. I come from a heavy MS background, but thought I would try to
bring a Linux box into my home network for fun. I bought Mandrake 7.2 this
weekend and attempted to install it in an older PC I had laying around.
(P166, 64mg RAM, etc) The install went great but I am having a problem
getting any modem installed. I had a Winmodem in the machine to start, them
found out that Linux cannot use Winmodems easily if at all. So I went out
and bought a Award Technology ISA modem. I installed the modem and fired up
the PC, now I have no idea what to do with it. The device shows up in the
Mandrake hardware config under the unknown section, not under the modem
section. Do I need drivers or something? Also, I have a serial mouse
attached. Correct me if I am wrong, but are serial mice usually put in COM1?
If so, then I should make sure my modem jumpers are set to COM2 or 4,
correct?
Anyway, thanks for any ideas you give!

[newbie] Improving the GNU/Linux printing support

2001-02-12 Thread Till Kamppeter

Oi,

now I have entered the execution data of all printer drivers listed on
www.linuxprinting.org (except the Seiko label printer driver "slap"
which does not support PostScript or graphics input), which means that
when you update to the newest packages of GhostScript and CUPS-Drivers
from the Cooker (backport for 7.2 comes later) all printers listed on
www.linuxprinting.org will work as described there.

But many printers (especially laser printers) do not simply print the
document as generated by the printer driver, they accept also some extra
commands (so-called PJL commands), sent before the job is sent, to
access special printing modes as toner saving mode, smoothing of edges
(REt), input tray selection, usage of finishers, ... This works for both
PostSctipt and non-PostScript printers.

Unfortunately, the database of www.linuxprinting.org does not contain
many PJL commands, and I have found out how to read the available ones
out of the printer. So I ask you to read out the PJL options of your
printer and send them to me (to me, not onto the lists, to prevent them
from being flooded). Read the attached file or surf to 

   http://www.linuxtag.org/2001/deutsch/showitem.php3?item=194lang=en

to see a call written by Kurt Pfeifle who is the author of many printing
articles in the german "Linux Magazin". It contains all info which you
need to do the check.

Thank you in advance for your PJL option files.

   Till
Title: Call for Support: Collection of valid PJL commands for
all printers by "Linuxprinting.org"





Call For Support: 
Collection Of Valid PJL Commands For
All Printers By "Linuxprinting.org"

Every user with a printer can help to achieve a better Linux print 
support. Wanna help out?

PJL And The Linuxprinting Database



You are asked to help fill the Linuxprinting.org Database with valid pieces of info concerning the PJL commands understood by your printer. Every user with a printer connected to a parallel or USB port can help to achieve a better Linux support for his printer (if not working perfectly already).

The Database has been built and accumulated by Grant Taylor, the well-known author of the Linux Printing 
HOWTO for quite some time. It is a key for the achievement of one (or some?) hi class Free printing system(s) for Linux. For quite a few printers the data about working PJL commands are still very incomplete. The quicker and the more precise this gap is filled the more profound and rapid the Linux support for modern printers in a Linux environment (and, in fact, amongst other Free Unix-like operating systems as well as non-Free ones) will develop in the months ahead. The database is not just of a huge advantage for CUPS -- other printing and spooling systems will also benefit a lot, like BSD-LPD, 
LPRng or PDQ.



On the backgrounds and workings of this database you might want to read a bit in my (so far German-only) "CUPS-FAQ". If there is comcern, I could do a translation of a more detailed explanation of this action also comprehensible for newbies. (Hello, you editors of printed magazines: isn't this a good story for you as well? The author's fee I'll donate to a free software project... ;-)

 This here is just a short shot.



A Shell Script To Read The PJL Capabilities Off The Printer

Keying in the PJL info for thousands of printers off the vendor's documentation is very tiring and error-prone.  Is this docu available at all? Is it complete? Is it correct? -- There's a better way to find out, with your help: ask you printer directly, what it supports... 
Till Kamppeter, architect and maintainer of the new Mandrake 7.2 printing system which chose CUPS to be the premium install (Till is also author 
of the free GUI Tool for CUPS, XPP), has presented a small shell script to help you do the job. Every Linux (and maybe, BSD) supporter can use it to ask his printer(s) about their level of PJL support. The results will go into the database which is designed to become the repository of automatic driver and printer configuration files for the major spooling systems CUPS, LPD, LPRng and PDQ.


Just copy the 6 line shell script beneath, save it with an easy to remember name of your joice and mak it executable:

   #!/bin/sh
   echo "Writing PJL options into opts.txt"
   echo -en "\0330   

[newbie] Linux and Qwest DSL

2001-02-12 Thread Matt Schroeder

Hi everyone,

I'd like DSL but Qwest's FAQ states that any multiple computer netowork
where I'd like to use DSL needs an external DSL modem.

I planned on connecting with a winders machine and then with my Linksys 5
port switch and a pair of NIC's I would share the DSL connection.

Is this possible with their apparently "winmodem" PCI slot DSL modem? (intel
2100 Pro)

The only thing keeping me from getting the Cisco external (Cisco 675) is
cost.  $295-$100 rebate from Qwest.  Versus I think $125-$100 rebate for the
Intel internal DSL modem.

Anyway, maybe there are Linux drivers out there for that Intel internal.

Thanks for any reply!

Re: [newbie] Unique kde problem

2001-02-12 Thread s

Well, if anyone else has or is experiencing this, I mv .kde and let it get 
rebuilt and now it looks great.  Lost settings and such, but ... can't have 
everything.

 I have been having trouble with the last several kde's that include the

 since refomatting last night and the appearance of the menus and apps
 toolbars, etc don't change to the more modern 3-d look.  They actually look
 the same as 1.99.  But I can start an app with the su command in a terminal
 and root's apps have the more modern characteristics that make kde more
 appealing.

 This has happened with the last several upgrades, a while back with 1.99 -
 2.0, now with 1.99 - 2.01, and recently from 2.0 - 2.1beta2.

 I upgraded this time through updates in user desktop and rebuilddb in root.
 Kde2.1beta2 had been install through the console in root.

 Any thoughts, suggestions, fixes?

[newbie] Netscape 6 -- Segmentation Fault

2001-02-12 Thread Benjamin Sher

Dear friends:

1) Installation:

I reinstalled Netscape 6.01 as ROOT, instead of user. I finally found
the netscape directory. See below. I was able to activate Netscape 6 and
launch it. However, since the initial launch, all I've been getting are
segmentation faults. Besides, I would like to run Netscape 6 as user,
NOT as root. I did a chmod 755 netscape in the /usr/local/netscape
directory and changed the ownership under Permissions (using Konqueror)
to "sher". Still, I couldn't launch Netscape 6. Same segmentation error. 

[sher@sher sher]$ cd /usr/local/netscape
[sher@sher netscape]$ ls
Cool/  libXptl.so* libnspr4.so* psm/

2) Plugins

However, I did manage briefly to see my plugins in Netscape 6 (by typing
about:plugins in the location bar). I saw ALL of my Netscape 4.76
plugins (which I had copied to /usr/local/netscape) EXCEPT for the
RealPlayer plugin.

Would appreciate any and all help.

Yours,

Benjamin

change the default boot-settings in linux.conf either via drakconf 
or directly on console.
