I've never had one of those so I wouldn't be sure about the Asus but if you want to be sure: As a rule try to avoid cardbus cards, a lot of them work but quiet a few don't or demand some defty fiddling with IRQ settings. If your friend ever wants to reuse the card on an older machine you need a card that's made for slot 1, on the plus: practically all of those work straight-out on all distribs be they however small. Nice again with older hardware: say turning an old P133 laptop into a firewall/router or server or as thin client like machine. Slot 1 devices have slightly different notches on the insert side of the card so one usually can't insert slot 1's into slot 2's but vice versa is no problem. If you can find one on the cheap, buy it...they're getting rare. The same goes for wireless cards BTW, the ones wich aren't cardbus and carry prism2 chips are getting rare too, and those are the nice ones for setting up your own access point or just monitoring the vicinity.

John Could be, but I suspect that's at the root of your problem. Try transcode again with scsi off. As to your comment about my transcode use. like you I just STW and docs for examples an try 'em (same for mencoder). I've often come across those that seem to conflict. I've also come across some that had typos, were lacking parts, or were just plain wrong. For example, a resize CL for mencoder straight from the mplayer online docs at mplayers site: mencoder input.mpg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -vf scale=640:480-o output.avi The example lacks a space between 640:480 and -o. It also lacks any sound. I edited it to mencoder input.mpg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -vf scale=640:480 -oac mp3lame -o output.avi Which works great. But I had to get the sound part (-oac mp3lame), and where in the CL to put it, from various Google searches. BTW, that resize command works for input formats other than .mpg. It substantially reduces file size while maintaining near original video and sound quality. I've used it to down size (to CDr size) .avi and .wmv formats. It works for .mov, but sound is lost, at least for the ones I've tried. So, I believe you've got a few thing to look at, get rid of SCSI emulation, keep lookin for examples, and encoding often involves 100% cpu (and chipset) usage for many minutes.

[newbie] mdk 9,2 vs Engarde Commuinity your opinion requested
Hi everyone; First let me start out by saying I know I goofed. I turned off iptables and got hacked. so now I'm trying to consider the best distro for ME. The server was nat'd behind a gigafast router onto a private IP so I thought I was safe. Thats what I get for thinking. At anyrate, I've been using Engarde for a few years and had never been hacked while using it. But it doesn't have X capabilities out of the box, because its designed to be an extremely secure server envirorment ONLY. My goal is for my server to handle mail, dns,web, mailing list, mysql, php(?), and an e-store. It will only serve 2 domains. It really is not important that X is on there at all. It is only important that its smart enough to protect me from me. So that I know my customers data is safe and secure. I'm willing to invest time to learn the intricasies of a distro but I want to pick one and stick with it. Otherwise I'll continue to chase my tail and never learn anything. Both distro's have excellent commuinity support. Your thoughts are appreciated. Troy T.

[newbie] help needed with CD burning problems
Hi, I am using K3b (K3b 0.9 under KDE 3.1.3 with Mandrake 9.2) to burn CDs without any problems. However, when I start K3b I get the following message: No support for ATAPI with cdrdao You will not be able to use all your reading devices as copy sources since there is at least one not configured to use SCSI emulation and your system does not support ATAPI with cdrdao. Solution: The best and recommended solution is to enable ide-scsi (SCSI emulation) for all writer devices. This way you won't have any problems. It also seems that I cannot burn (CD copy) from my regular CD drive (CREATIVE 52x CD-ROM 52x IDE 8.2MB/s / 128K / ATAPI ) to my CD burner.(I/O Magic External USB 2.0 52x24x52 CD-RW Drive). The thing that bothers me most is that while my computer was running Windoze2000 I could copy from this CD drive to another external drive without any problems. Otherwise, the CD drive works without problems. How do I enable scsi-ide (SCSI-emulation) for my CD drive? Alternatively, can you reccommend another application to copy CDs? Thanks!

Unfortunately I had already looked through that thread, without finding what I was looking for. The problem I'm faced with is currently having an Epson C64 that I would really like to get working under mdk 9.2. The solution suggested of using Turboprint doesn't seem suitable since the printer is not listed as being supported. There is also a link to what looks like Epson reference drivers (sample client server?) but I don't really know where to go with that- are they easily installed to enable printing in various mdk applications? It seems to me that the ideal solution would be to 'simply' update the printing mechanisms of mandrake. My understanding is (correct me if I'm wrong!) that this would mean upgrading gimp-print, probably from 4.2.5 to 4.2.6. If that upgrade and configuration task is too complex, and so beyond the scope of this mailing list, then fair enough but I'm hoping that someone on this list has some experience with this and can point me in the right direction.

[newbie] What is kio_thumbnail
And why does it start whenever it wants too? When running it takes up almost 100% of my cpu resources. I've searched the archives and found only two articles pertaining to it. Neither explain why it starts on its own. Google.com/linux seems to be no help either. -- Regards Chris A 100% Microsoft free computer Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org 11:20pm up 16 days, 8:58, 7 users, load average: 0.27, 0.07, 0.06 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] audio stream: mms: unregisterd protocol

Is there a way to get this to work with xmms/mplayer/etc? When I click on the link(looks like an'eject' button) I just get an error saying mms: unregistered protocol. I tried using the CLI with mplayerlink but it didn't work. Any ideas? TIA. Jerry The mplayer gui will play it. Open mplayer and enter the url into the open, play URL dialog box. Make sure that you have the latest version of mplayer (1.0 pre3) and the win32 and real codecs. You can get the codecs and mplayer here - ftp://ftp.easynet.fr/plf/mandrake/9.2/i586/ Also, the mplayer plugin for mozilla (1.0 pre2) will start mplayer from the web page. Rick This must be one of those incompatible sites then. it still didn't work with the plugin (still get mms:// unregistered protocol message) but I could get a couple of seconds of audio using the GUI and open URL. Then I'd get aConnection refused or some such message. Oh well. Thanks for your help, Rick. I'm sure it will come in handy on other sites! :-) -- _||_ Registered linux user #300600 (o_ Registered linux machine # 185855 //\at V_/_ http://counter.li.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

So I know it's working on my end (well not from mozilla even with the plugin but from gmplayer it does).
