The Cyber and Blade3D cards are fairly brain damaged video adaptors.

The best you are going to get is support as a VGA/SVGA device thru the SVGA
server. The configuration program will not correctly recognize the card,
because the card itself does not report it's capabilities.

You'll have to manually configure anything above 256 color mode.

I ended up throwing these adaptors away after finding a rather involved
discourse on their failings in a Linux related web page.

I too am having problems with the Mandrake Update prog.

I tried upgrading it manually today with an RPM and it still acts the same
as it did for me.

Mine acts differently than yours in that it looks on the mirror site, looks
as though it's transferring data and the info file and then the list never
shows in the box.  It finishes and there's nothing there.

I can't figure it out.

If this happens to me then I think updating it won't help you either but
maybe it will.

Try this in a terminal as su (root)  Disclaimer:  (As I am also a newbie,
you do this under your own free will and risk.  LOL)

rpm -U --force
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/updates/7.2/RPMS/MandrakeUpdate-7.2-19.1mdk
.i586.rpm


I tried this and it didn't seem to change anything except I now have the
latest version.

It still doesn't work right so I guess it's something else that is wrong.

 Well, as you can tell, I'm a newbie to Linux. I have a few problems with
 this OS. First and foremost is the Mandrake Update thingy. Its possessed
by
 the satan, I swear. First, it lured me into thinking that it worked
 correctly, then it turned on me! I don't know what it did, but the whole
 system now refuses to update anything, even if I pull it through a
different
 packaging application. The do the same thing it does, slow the processing
 speed down to nill and crash. The only thing I haven't done is un-install
 the Update application, but I don't believe that's going to help me at
all.
 Is there anything I can do aside from a formal destroy all/take no

RE: [newbie] Testing for bad RAM-solved and update


The techs who fed you the line about the bootup memory test are drones.

They have no idea about what they are talking about.

There are numerous incompatibilities between motherboards and certain memory
strip configurations.

I recently ran into an interesting one, wherein certain Crucial/Micron
strips would ALWAYS crash WinME (strangely not Win2K) or Linux when
installed on Intel 815 and VIA Apollo based motherboards.

These same strips worked fine on BX based motherboards.

Memory test programs continually reported no problems whatsoever.

Testing revealed that the data lines would not "come ready" fast enough for
the 815 and VIA chipsets after a strobe.

Ironically Crucial/Micron is big on touting it's reliability factor...
right.

A very simple and faily good indicator of problems is to use DOS's Himem
with the /TESTMEM option.

I.E. Make a DOS boot disk and add this line to the config.sys after placing
himem.sys on the disk...

DEVICE = HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:ON

This is surprisingly good in catching memory problems which will foul up
Linux and would have most likely demonstrated problems with the memory you
had.

It's not foolproof but I've seen it catch things that even hardware testers
and good test suites do not.

change the 5 to a 3 and save the changes.

REASON: I thought when I was installing it, it asked me for a
connection, and I typed in the information of T-Three, the phone
number, username, and password that would allow me to connect.  If that
was the case and I did it right, how do I get there so I can do the
dialup?

2) How do I install XWindows without opening up my machine?

REASON: I tried doing the XWindows installation that the CDROM prompted
me for, but for no matter what I selected the screen would go blank and
that would be the end of it.  I selected the exact monitor I had and it
still did this.

NOTE: I have a Sony 100SX monitor and I do know (my dad told me) that
the video card has 4mb of RAM.

3) How do I change my configurations?

REASON: For some reason it says when I login under my name that I don't
have the privledges to do such.

4) How do I install StarOffice?

REASON: It is on the third CD, and I know how to get to read the disk
in the /mnt then the /cdrom directory.  I then do an ls and it shows me
the files on the cd.  However it is an RPM file and the RPM --help
doesn't help me much at all.  I think it is trying to write to the CD
and not my root directory.

-

I do appreciate any help that anyone can get me.  I can only now access
the net using the computers at school and my sisters one, which I
prefer not to do...


Here are some specs of the system:

Pentium 133mhz
80mb RAM
10.2gb hard drive
24X CD ROM
4X4X32 CDRW drive
4mb Video card (unsure name)
Sony Monitor
ZIP 100 drive
Zoltrix 33.6kbps external modem
HP610CL Deskjet

If you need any other specs, let me know...as I said, I don't want to
open up my machine if possible.

Re: [newbie] I am really such a beginner...


Richard,
You must become "root" to change configurations rather than just
a regular user. Root can do powerful (and potentially disastrous) changes
to your system, so best not to be "root" all the time.
The command line:
su
which stands for super user, asks for root's login and password. While
you're root, the prompt changes from "$" to "#".

Your install script failed to correctly configure X, since your screen went
blank. As root, try running Xconfigurator.

You can do RPM installs from a command line, here's an example:
rpm -ivh foo-1.0-1.i586.rpm

Hi Ryan,

That helps alot because it answers my question.  I'm AMAZED that the store
bought boxed version (4 CD's) doesn't have the complete development tools.

So - you are saying that I need to download the two CD ISO images from the
website, burn CD's and use those, is that correct?

Or - is there a list of the RPM's to download that will fill in the missing
development tools?

Thanks again,

 If youre using the distributed version of mandrake 7.2 (i.e. store bought

 this you must purchase Mandrake 7.2 Powerpack Deluxe or download Mandrake

when 
you mention that up upgraded, you don't say if you did it by compiling or by 
just installing the rpm,,,

the 
answer to your problem will most likely be different depending on your 
answer.

Ifyou are both having the same problem, then its possible you both 
installed the rpm. and maybe it was pre-compiled without support for something 
you need.

maybe 
you should consider compiling your own...

Re: [newbie] HELP!!!




Matt,
 Ok, your video card is found, 
that's good. But you ALSO
need to know some info about your monitor. Most 
important is the
rate at which vertical and horizontal scanning is 
done. The default
VGA-type video rates are 31.5 KHz horizontal and 
60 Hz vertical.
This'd give you standard 640x480 resolution - a 
good place to start.

 You can try (as root) running 
Xconfigurator from a console.
It asks a bunch of questions about video cards and 
monitor rates,
and generates the XF86Config file that X uses to 
start up.
If its successful, then you can try "startx" from 
a console command
line. If it fails, the Xserver should give you 
some troubleshooting
text on your console.

When I did the installation, it came up with an error and the card was not
configured. However, when booting, New Hardware recognized the card and I
configured it there. 

The dmesg log says: 

"lance.c: Module autoprobing not allowed. Append "io-)xNNN" values." What
does that mean?

The syslog reports:

/etc/modules.conf is more recent than
/lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/modules.dep. It also says
"isnmod: /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/net/lance.o: init_module: Device or
resource busy" and then goes on to note: Hint: insmod errors can be caused
by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. I
noticed when surfing google, that you are not supposed to manually
configure IRQ parameters for PCI devices, so I don't know what this means. 

When I use Drakconf and try to configure the card, I get an "error in

Basically any attempt to bring up the interface eth0 fails and eth0
initialization delaying. I know I have my network file and network-scripts
configured correctly, copying them from the past Redhat install. 

How can I fix this? Any help much appreciated. I must say I love Mandrake,
it is a really slick Linux version and I can hardly wait to play! Thank

RE: [newbie] VMware

2001-02-27 Thread Esteban Villeda


In your home directory (depends weather you are root or a user), there is a
hidden directory called ".vmware".  There is where you have to install the
file that came attached within the email that VMWare sent to you.  It's not
necesary to make a copy-paste work, simply download it to that directory and
you'll see vmware working fine, cause the filename begins with the word
"license".  Good luck!!!

 Dear All, I just installed VMware 2.0.3 on my Linux-Mandrake 7.2
 successfully however I am having problems installing the license key so
 that I may install my Windows 95. Below are the instructions I have from
 the vmware web page for installing the license key. My question is since
 I am quite a newbie here: How exactly does one do the cut and paste and
 then drop it into the vmware file? Do you copy as suggested place in
 another program such as StarOffice, name it license, then copy to the
 file through a terminal? Could someone provide the exact steps for me
 because this so far is the only thing hanging me up. Thank you very much
 for your help. Sincerely, Marcia

  4.Installation of the license:

 In the email you received, you will find a file attachment a text
 version of the license, and text describing the license installation
 procedure. The easiest way to install is to click on the attachment,
 rename it "license" (without the quotes) and drop it into ~/.vmware.

  If you are installing via cut and paste, select beginning
 atthe line "# VMware
  software license" and ending at the
 end of the line "HASH =
 ...
 Do not include any additional characters, otherwise you will encounter
 an invalid
  license error.

You can't put 'Windows permissions' on a cd.
CDs use an ISO standard.
I don't know much about cd burning but that is what i know.
Actually what i've done was download all the mandrake rpms from an ftp,
stick them on a *windows* partition, booted the install using the harddrive

i have managed to get my house mate who is connecting to the net via a

modem to download the mandrake 7.2 iso file for me. now i am unsure of the

we tryed to use nero (dont know which version is not mine again) to burn it
to
cd but it doesnt recognise the file type.

we have found an iso buster program from the net and it seems to break it
down
in to the individual files. but after talking to a hard core red hat guy ho
sometimes passes me in the office he thinks that it may alter the file
permissions to windows ones therefor making them useless??

how do i get these images to disk?

and before anyone says buy a copy i may do but i feel it A: defets the 
point
of having a free operating system if you are paying for it. B: i am not
callenged by it and C: learning more about linux and windows relationships.

actually in nero to burn from an iso you have to look in the file menu

ok well thats good news.  That means I probably did somehting wrong. 
Cool.  Its fixable!

I've had my geforce card for a few months now and had it working great. 
In fact with the 0.9.5 nvidia drivers I get better performance then in
windows by about 25%!!  I re-installed to change to reiser and I must
have botched something during ort after the re-install cause what worked
before doesn't now.  

Hey, if you are using the 0.9.6 nvidia driver you should try installing
from tar.gz because there is a little change you can make in one of the
build files that will result in much better performance.  Without the
change that driver seems locked around 90fps but with the change it
approaches the performance of 0.9.5 and is a lot more stable.

read M64_USERS_README in NVIDIA_GLX-0.9-6 for the fix.  



Thank you Adam.

Daryl,

You're correct...I did miss that part. Could-a swore you were suggesting a
10MB /. However, why would you want to waste so much space on something
that isn't likely going to ever need that much space provided /var and
/usr are on seperate partitons? Even if didn't put /var on it's own
partition and only put /usr on it's own partiton you still wouldn't need
that much space.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

   Try this:
  
   insmod aha152x aha152x=0x140,9,7,1,1,0,500,0
  
   Don't ask me what it all means, but it works on this card.

 maybe English is a second language for this person. In which case their
