AW: [newbie] Xserver Problem with Trident 3DImage985
Hello there, I had a similar problem. My graphics card was a TRIDENT CyberBlade i7 3D AGP, my Monitor is a LG Studioworks 78FT (17" Flatron, 1600 x 1200). Due to my experience I shall never again buy any card or any Motherboard that has a Trident chip on it. Trident just sucks. What I did to make it work: Chose my Trident CyberBlade i7 and selected a generic "1024 x 768 60Hz LCD" ( !!! ) as my Monitor, as all other settings would not work with this card (my LG Monitor works OK when used with other cards such as ATI or NVIDIA). The result was that I got a 1024 x 768 16-Bit color screen at 60Hz. B U T : The performance really really sucks and is way behind even my slow old Pentium 90. I had to turn off almost all "special effects" such as "show contents when moving window" etc. Altough I made it work, I found my Linux experience with my Trident card was so frustrating that I shut it down and now instead use a RIVA TNT2 based card.

The device is in the Driver list of this version of mandrake.I select the device from the list. Also my Monitor is in the list of monitors. It probes the setting Ok but X server has some problems with this device. Also when I select 800X600 in 8 bit mode, the X server can't perform a proper appearance. If anybody has the remedy, please inform me. Regards A. Momeni __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

AW: [newbie] Copy Files
This has historical reasons: UNIX like operating systems only use a "New Line" Byte at the end of each written line, while DOS based operating systems such as Windows use two bytes: a "New Line" plus "Carriage Return". So if you read a text file that was saved on a UNIX like operating system under Windows it will look as if everything was written on one single line, because the "CR" Byte is missing at the end of each line. Workaround: There are shareware and freeware editors for Windows which will automatically recognize a text file that was originally written under UNIX / Linux and display it correctly. You can find such text editors at WinFiles: www.winfiles.com . There are also lots of Linux tools that allow to convert DOS and UNIX files back and vice versa. You will find them here: www.linuxberg.com DJ. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Eunice Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet am: Dienstag, 28.

In order for me to view it in Linux, I have to type 'pico filename' , and I can view the file as it's written. When I look at the same file in Windows it looks like one big paragraph, instead of the 200 + lines of entries of the original file. Is there a way to save the file in Linux so that it can be viewed in it's original format in Windows? in Linux the file looks like this: 1 adffsgh 2 dfgtg=hjeeur . . . 200 ftryu =iop;p; in Windows the same file looks like this: 1adffsgh2 dfgtg=hjeeur200 ftryu =iop;p; Thanks Eunice

Hello, I also have a Creative Labs SoundBlaster 128 PCI. I configured it with "sndconfig". First I also thought that it did not work, but then I realised that the volume settings were set very very faint. Using a mixer program I increased the sound volumes and voila - I had sound. You may want to try that, because the sound chips (Ensoniq ES/1370 or ES/1371) are usually well supported and recognized under Linux.

[newbie] VIA Chipset: Sound ? Device busy Error.
Hello out there, my PC's Motherboard has a VIA / Apollo MPV4 Chipset (VT82Cxxx something). Has anyone succeeded in making the sound work ? I have tried with sndconfig - it sees a SB compatible device, but reports errors saying Device busy. Same upon reboot, when the sound drivers are being loaded, it says failed to initialize: Device busy. I think it is a question of correct initialization / resetting of the device, because under Windoze I never get such errors. Has anyone out there such a chipset and made it work under Linux ? I know there are commercial packages such ass OSS/OpenSound which would support that device, but I'd prefer the free Linux stuff before spending money for commercial drivers. Best regards and thank you for any help, DJ. Switzerland / Europe.
AW: [newbie] USB support?
According to the manual, not really. USB support in general is still not that good in x86 Linux variants as it is in Windoze. But they are working on it, so chances are great that newer kernel versions will offer better USB support. DJ.

AW: AW: [newbie] USB support?
Well, you might want to try using another Distro. I personally and from a professional point of view like SuSE Linux very much. At work we use their distros on several machines (Mail, DNS, etc.). The advantage of SuSE (current release: SuSE Linux 6.3, SuSE Linux 6.4 is to be released real soon) is that they pack an incredible lot of software on their CD's and they usually also always include the newest stable and "hacker" kernels. So if you really HAVE TO use your ISDN adapter via USB, you should give SuSE a try. Chances are big, that if there was any advancement in USB support SuSE has included the appropriate kernel onto their CD's, so all you needed to do is to recompile the kernel and have USB support included. But be warned, though: SuSE is great if you know what you are doing, but Newbies will find it rather unfriendly or hard to understand, IMO. From a Newbie POV Mandrake is far better suited.

Hello, I myself use ATI cards in many of my Linux installations, amongst them also is a ATI Xpert@Work 98. ATI Cards work very well with Linux, really. To make X-Windows work, choose "ATI Mach64" as X-Server. This should work for almost all ATI cards that have a ATI Rage or Rage Pro chip.
