The device should be build afaik automatically if you load the module at bootup. Tell me if you have no luck so ill search the docs that i used to get it to work.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 8.1 and webcam
Well i recently bought a Quickcam 3000 PRO from logitech without knowing there support behaviour =/ it is supported starting at kernel 2.4.13 . Since it has Phillips ingredients. Phillips webcams are supported (allmost all AFAIK ) they use the kernel module pwc (so does my logitech ) but dont buy the logitech its a good cam but you will have to wait or hack better support for it . Example: i get the camera working fine with a small picture (nokia-display-size on a 1280x1024 screen res) that is because you need to uncompress the signal to get the resolution higher (it SHOULD support 480x600) but to uncompress you need to compile your own kernel with the module pwcx wich you get at http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ (a recommendable site ) Recommendable is to use a analog camera and a tv grabbercard (bttv) but ofcourse those are more expensive.

[newbie] pwcx module kernel = wow strong tobacco (atleast for me =))
Howdy i have a little (maybe stupid question) =) Have a look at this : Installation of this module is very simple; copy the pwcx-i386.o module to /lib/modules/usb/pwcx.o, and run 'depmod -a' once. After this, it should be possible to load the module on ANY kernel where the pwc.o module has been built or loaded (well, provided it's running in an Intel processor, of course). (got that from http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam ) Those are instructions to add a module for better webcam (quickcam 3000 PRO) support im using kernel 2.4.13.xx and the module pwc is loaded nicely but i cant change the size of the picture i have to unkompress it with this new module anway thts not so important . My problem is that i dont know much about kernels =) Fact is that the is not such a dir ( /lib/modules/usb ) so where do i copy this mod? The modules in my kernel (in the dir called /lib/modules/2.4.13-11mdk/kernel/drivers/usb ) are all .o.gz files and copying it there didnt work. PLEASE ILLUMINATE ME!!!

Now my original soundcard (es1371) and the webcam (audio) both use the module soundcore with xmms i can configure the oss output plugin and choose to use either the usb-audio-device (wich ofcourse doesnt work since its only a mic) and the es1371 device but many more apps (tuxracer ... etc.) dont work with sound anymore . Now how can i find out what device (/dev/xxx ) is assigned to which driver (es1371 or usb-audio) . reason : I want to use with ALL audio apps the soundcard (es1371) and i want to use the usb module (audio) only as mic. any suggestions ? thx Florian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Is there a way of running them all at the same time funktionally ? here my lsmod output: (without the quickcam modules wich will after loading them attach to videodev audio and usb) # lsmod Module Size Used by agpgart30272 3 (autoclean) NVdriver 724720 14 (autoclean) sr_mod 15424 0 (autoclean) (unused) w83781d17312 0 (unused) i2c-proc6608 0 [w83781d] i2c-isa 1312 0 (unused) audio 37872 0 (unused) es1371 26800 1 soundcore 4304 4 [audio es1371] ac97_codec 9344 0 [es1371] gameport1888 0 [es1371] nfsd 70688 8 (autoclean) lockd 50928 1 (autoclean) [nfsd] sunrpc 63968 1 (autoclean) [nfsd lockd] lp 5792 0 autofs4 9904 2 (autoclean) af_packet 12656 1 (autoclean) ip_vs 62672 0 (autoclean) usb-uhci 21648 0 (unused) usbcore51648 1 [audio usb-uhci] ne2k-pci5312 1 (autoclean) 83906528 0 (autoclean) [ne2k-pci] nls_iso8859-1 2880 4 (autoclean) nls_cp850 3632 4 (autoclean) vfat 10064 4 (autoclean) fat32576 0 (autoclean) [vfat] tuner 8560 1 (autoclean) tvaudio10272 0 (autoclean) (unused) bttv 60272 0 videodev5056 2 [bttv] i2c-algo-bit7392 1 [bttv] i2c-core 13696 0 [w83781d i2c-proc i2c-isa tuner tvaudio bttv i2c-algo-bit] ide-scsi8240 0 parport_pc 20288 2 (autoclean) ppa 9936 0 (unused) parport25088 2 [lp parport_pc ppa] scsi_mod 93312 3 [sr_mod ide-scsi ppa] rtc 5856 0 (autoclean) reiserfs 158368 3 Cheers Florian On Saturday 24 November 2001 05:34, Sridhar Dhanapalan wrote: On Sun, 25 Nov 2001 19:41:07 +0100, Florian Struck [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi i want to install kernel 2.4.13 from the latest cooker rpms does anyone have something to say to that ? =) Thing is that i just bought a logitech quickcam pro 3000 and on linuxusbproject they say that its supported only by the 2.4.13 kernel so i want to give it a try. Here is the general procedure: # rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.13-xxmdk.i586.rpm This will install the new kernel, while keeping the old one intact. If you have problems with 2.4.13, you can still boot into your old kernel. You may need to edit /etc/lilo.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst if you use grub) to make the new kernel appear in the boot menu.

[newbie] Konqueror

Re: [newbie] IRQ`s
Thanx for the reply. I was now trying to do a few things : First my original setup : AGP = nvidia PCI1 = empty PCI2 = firewire PCI3 = soundblaster128 PCI4 = ethernet PCI5 = WinTV ISA = empty First i changed the tvcard wich was in the last pci slot (sharing with nvidia) to PCI slot1 below the AGP slot restarted my box and it was still sharing with nvidia damn . Then i took out the firewire card and put the tvcard into its slot (PCI2) After restarting the system it was not sharing anymore tvcard had irq9 and nvidia was alone on irq11 ... but it kept crashing the whole system so its not about the irq . So i have two questons : first how can it be that the agpslot shares with 2 different PCI slots and how can it be that i have 5 slots but i can only use 3 of them if i avoid sharing the agp`s irq? ( i need atleast 4 of them ) Second question is do you know anything about wintv cards and xawtv why could it be crashing my entire system it seems to be not nice at all. Thanx in advance Florian On Thursday 01 November 2001 17:41, Onur Kucuk wrote: FS Hello i have a little problem with my irq`s . FS Since i have quite a lot of hardware in my box there is some sharing. Now the FS problem is that my wintv card shares an irq with my GeForce and since it FS crashes my complete system after running xawtv or zapping as well as any FS other tv prog its obviously not wise that they share the irq with the grafix FS device =). Most probably the irq conflict is causing this, you are right. Especially the graphics card should stay alone, even though there are lots of irq management systems (mean the ones in your board and OS). FS Now i dont know much at all about irq management if someone could tell me the FS comand to change an irq and which irq is free and available in my pc FS here is a cat /proc/interrupts : Unfortunately there is no command that can change irqs, as long as they asre not pnp etc. But even if they are, I never could get success in this. Why ? Because IRQ's are managed by boards more strictly in later systems. FS # cat /proc/interrupts FSCPU0 FS 0: 567487 XT-PIC timer FS 1: 3092 XT-PIC keyboard FS 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade IRQ 3 and 4 seems to be not used. These are the serial ports. If you dont use any of them,or both, shut them off from your bios. FS 5: 0 XT-PIC es1371 You are very lucky your sound card uses irq 5 (I could not manage that) Keep it like this. FS 7: 1 XT-PIC parport0 FS 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc FS 10: 4323 XT-PIC usb-uhci, usb-uhci, eth0 If you are not using any usb devices, shut your usb controllers from your bios. They dont screw things but it would be better. FS 11: 238652 XT-PIC bttv, nvidia I guess your tv card is in slot 1 of your board. Usually in boards the pci slot 1 and the agp slot share the same irq, so change the place of it. FS 12: 90182 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse FS 14: 54881 XT-PIC ide0 FS 15: 7586 XT-PIC ide1 These are all fine. I guess 13 is also being used by something related to CPU, so dont try to use 13. (most probably cant either) FS NMI: 0 FS ERR: 0 FS All devices are listed exept my firewire card which i didnt load yet but if i FS remember right it would, if loaded, use irq 9 but i might be wrong about that. Actually irq 9 is not as fine as irq 5,10,11 etc. but I did not have any troubles using that. Usually boards assign irqs to pci slots, that is like pci slot 3 can only use irq 9 and the irq of the pci slot 6 (something like that). You can find info about this in your mobo's manual, though you dont need to waste your time. Simply, shut down the systms that you dont use, serial port, parallel port, usb etc. After all that, try different combinations of pci slots on your board, after a few tries you will realize how to solve your trouble.

[newbie] ISDN
Hi i have a weird problem after installing 8.1 as firewall and server i connect using draknet from a console to my isdn isp and it works well, just then when i disconnect it does that well too but after checking draknet once more it tells me tat im still connected (ifconfig doesnt!) and its definetly disconnected . It wouldn`t disturb me but i`m ofcourse not able to reconnect using draknet since it will ask me again and again do disconnect . Does someone have an idea what this could be? If not what other prog could i use to open and close the isdn connection? Thanx for help. Florian Struck Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] Removing Linux, how do I re-install next OS?
If its not a dos drive then you cant make a format c either and the bios should see your (physikal) drive also if its not dos .try to put the drive detection to auto if it doesnt work otherwise it sounds like your drive is gone you can try to put the mandrake cd into the cdromdrive and enter the setup until you get to diskdrake the partitioning tool there you make one big fat32 partition and set it as primary then you let diskdrake save the partitiontable and reboot then you can go on with a dos floppy . cheers Florian On Wednesday 13 June 2001 08:31, you wrote: Hi List, I had LM 8.0 loaded onto a smaller sized HD than the one I am using now.

[newbie] Single Network Firewall
Did anyone try it? Im thinking of using it as a router for our company we have a lan with 10 pcs and a novell server (ouch) but since our ElsaLancom (never buy it) chrashes every 10 minutes i was wondering if Single Network Firewall firewall is an possibly easy to use alternative? If i did all the networks stuff by myself i would use a MDK8 version but since there are people taking care of the networking who dont have experience with linux i like the idea of boot a cd install boot and hop were up. Another question is if there are possibillities of putting ssh etc. servers on the Single Network Firewall? Do i expect too much ... little? Florian
