[newbie-it] modem usb
Salve a tutti, sono nuovo nel mondo Linux e nell'entusiasmo di una possibile migrazione definitiva, mi trovo come altri l'ostacolo dell'utilizzo di alcune periferiche. Nel mio caso si tratta del modem, un D-Link ISDN USB codice : DRU 128 TA. Ho chiaramente fatto una ricerca attraverso internet prima di postare ed ovviamente ho trattato di configurarlo manualmente ma non c'e' stato nulla da fare. Il sistema ha riconosciuto che nella USB c'era una periferica ed ha letto il firmware correttamente anche se sono rimasto perplesso dal fatto che come costruttore mi desse Trust. Se qualcuno potesse darmi una mano o un suggerimento gliene sarei grato. Ciao Rik

To get back to the origional question, MPlayer can handly more media types than Windows Media player, it's faster, and more configurable. The only thing is you probably have to read the manual to use it ;-) It's not hard, I promise, it just takes a bit of understanding and so on.

Re: [newbie] Windows media player for netscape in mandrake
If you want to watch embedded streaming video, the best solution is to install Codeweavers Crossover plugin. Crossover plugin will then download and install Apple Quicktime 6 and Windows MediaPlayer 6.5 and will run them as Windows applications within Linux (using Wine) It works well. The downside is that it is not free. There is however a demo version you can try out at www.codeweavers.com. Another possibility is to use RealPlayer8 for Linux. It will not handle the same media formats as WMP, but is free. An RPM for RealPlayer is available from Mandrake Club, or as a binary installer buried *very* deep on Reals site. derek On Saturday 11 Jan 2003 11:19 am, ivette brusselmans wrote: What program do I have to install for video on netscape.

[newbie] X11 development RPM? does it exist?
Hi, I have just installed Mandrake Linux 9.0, and have a need for the X11 headers (e.g. Xlib.h, etc.). I can't seem to find the rpm. Does it exist?

Re: [newbie] netscape 7.0 installer problem
On Friday January 10 2003 04:32 pm, ivette brusselmans wrote: Did this at least 10 times. Always get the same answer : download failed due to multiple CRC failures. What could be the cause? CRC (cylical redundancy checks) are used in data transmission to verify the data's integrity. CRC is used over d/l connections, but it is also used by other data tranmissions and devices, including hard drives. Western Digtal hard drives can't, and failing drives often don't perform proper CRC checks. Some motherboard chipsets with certain combinations of peripheals (AGP cards, high bandwidth PCI devices, eg, SB Live!), also occaisonally perform bad CRC checks. Cables that need replacing or re-seating can also cause CRC errors. So the problem could be many things, but most likely a bad file, bad d/l connection, or hardware problems. Try using a different d/l application than the one you've been using, specially if you were usin a browser, and specially if the browser was Nutsrcape. NS is infamous for corupting d/l's. IMO, the safest bet would be to use 'wget' or 'curl' from the command line in a terminal to get the file. If you still have a problem with the file, try tar'g or zip'n up the contents of a several hundred MB directory, creating the new archive on a different partition, and preferably to a partition on a different hard drive. This is easy to do with Archiver (ark). If the new archive will unpack and the files match your originals it's a good indication (but not proof) you aren't havin hardware problems. IE, the HDD's, the motherboard (chipsets and controllers), the cables will have done their job properly. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Sis 300/305 video card problems in 9.0
Is anyone aware of any problems with 9.0 configuring an SIS 305 video card? My problems started on install. I noticed that the card was detected as sis 300 and there was no 305 listed, even though it is listed as supported. When the X configuration was tested, the system froze.I messed around with different settings but it froze each time. I finally reinstalled and switched to expert mode and just skipped the test. X started this time and the screen looks OK but when I scroll in a browser or move a window around there is a very wavy, headache-inducing effect. The video card is detected in harddrake as SIS 300. It also appears in XF86Config as SIS 300. Speaking of XF86Config, another thing that seems odd to me is that even though I have XFree86-4.2.1-3mdk, there is almost nothing in XF86Config-4. The only thing there is this: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option Protocol PS/2 Option Device /dev/psaux Option Emulate3Buttons Option Emulate3Timeout 50 EndSection Section ServerLayout Identifier layout1 InputDevice Mouse1 CorePointer EndSection All the other stuff, including the stuff about the monitor, is in the old XF86Config file. Is this a misconfiguration? When I open up the Control Center the SIS card does not appear in the graphics card tab--it says Custom-- and the resolution tab is grayed out. If I set the card to Sis 300 and the resolution to 1024X768-- the resolution chosen at install--and save the changes, X will not start on reboot. BTW, this this same system worked without any problems with 8.2.

Perhaps I need to upgrade the codes. I do have some WMV files that won't do it. Interesting thought, thanks for the tip! Paul I haven't found _anything_ yet that Mplayer won't play, and play better than with Winsux, Mac, or Crossover/wine alternatives. .mpg, .mpeg, .avi, .asf, .mov (including the latest Sorenson v3), .m2v, .wmv, .wma, .mp3 (maybe y'all need more codecs ;) Part of 'better' is the braindead crappy players M$ and Mac have aren't needed, even used with Xover. Now Linux users can play hundreds of files from a directory or CD from the CL without havin to select 'file location clik on one full screen play' in a GUI for each one separately. Plus mplayer features to 'on the fly' adjust brightness, contrast, color, tint, etc. Also features to 'fix' bad movies, eg, adjust frame rate. Only thing that's been iffy for me is usin mplayer to play RealPlayer files, some work, some don't, but I've only tried streams off the Net. (Different codecs required in /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/ Codecs/). I reckon some of the 'won't play' is due to poor or bad encoding of the source files, ie, they won't play, or play properly on their native OS or players either. I dunno for sure, but I suspect while the linux win32 codecs that are neccessary for all this are derived from Winsux and Mac codecs, I don't believe they're just copies. Most all the time the warning is given that they will not work with Windoze. Better there's no definite explaination ... none of these people need the threat of M$ lawyers.

[newbie] keyboard internationalization extended ASCII issues
Hi, 1) I have a US keyboard on my laptop. I would like to type in French letters with accents (such as é or à). I can use the GNOME character map application, but this is really very slow and cumbersome. I know what the ASCII character codes are for all these letters, but I don't know how to type them in. The Windows approach of typing, say, Alt+233 for an é does not seem to work with linux. I also tried to type the sign ^ followed by a letter - but this does not work either. Any suggestions as to how rapidly and conveniently get French accents in a console of in a OpenOffice text? How can I generate extended ASCII characters? 2) How can I rapidly change keyboards? I could use the Mandrake Control Center's hardware menu to change keyboards, but this would also be very slow. Specifically, I need to alternate between Russian and US keyboards (mainly in OpenOffice documents). Is there a rapid and convenient to switch keyboards with linux? Thanks in advance!
