[newbie] Brazilian keybord and Quake 1
Hello all I want to clear two subjects on keyboard: a) I am Brazilian and I use a standard keyboard for my language called ABNT2, somebody of Mandrake could tell me how I do to use this keyboard in Venus, mainly in the prompt... b) the version 6.1 has support, from the installation, to the keyboard ABNT2? In Brazil a magazine (PCMaster) of this month it threw Mandrake 6 and a lot of people bought and liked, but she has been having problems with the keyboard that I have and with the accents, that are many in my language. I suggest you enter in contact with Conectiva (dealer Brazilian of RedHat) for us to use the correction that they use for the keyboard ABNT2. Did I install Quake I in Mandrake but does he never work, always restraint when it carries the program (many other people that are using bought Mandrake of the mentioned magazine, are they having the same problem), some suggestion of the why? Thank you. -- João Carlos [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brasil - SP ICQ - 33.965.439 usuário Linux # 106644
Re: [newbie] How do I install my scanner Umax S-6E?
Hello Martin Excuse the delay in giving a return your message. I went to the place that you indicated me and I read the configurations for Umax and, finally, I understood what was the scsi genric card. I thought that was a module to be carried by the kernel, but, actually, it is the form like Sane works with the scsi card of Umax. I followed the recommendations and, finally, my scanner worked in Linux Mandrake. I only need, now, to find the best options of configuration of the card. In fact, I take advantage of to ask somebody that has the same scanner could send me the options used to configure it, it would abbreviate the time I spend with the attempts. I thank your help a lot, as the one of the other companions that answered. Forced to all. "Martin, Darin W." ha scritto: From the Sane umax-scsi documentation at http://www.Wolfsburg.DE/~rauch/sane/sane-umax-config-doc.html It shows to use a driver for an NCR5380 SCSI controller. The sample command they show is insmod g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=255 ncr_addr=0x280 dtc_3181e=1 You may have to play around with the ncr_addr part. They list a whole bunch of IO addresses the controller card can use. -Original Message- From: Joao C Agostini [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 1999 10:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] How do I install my scanner Umax S-6E? Hi Thank you for your concern. I had already seen Sane and in its documents I read that was necessary that the kernel should have the module for a generic scsi board, for that I asked the list if somebody knows which is that module and as I do to carry him/it. Who can me that to answer he/she would thank. "Martin, Darin W." ha scritto: Joao, Before spending the money on a new SCSI card, go to the SANE page and try their drivers. They list your scanner and the controller it comes with as supported..

Hello Thank you very much for the information and for the attention. It is a sad news, but I will take your advice because, I find, this will be the only form of doing my scanner to work. But, even so, I would like something to know on which module for a generic board scsi, do you know? Thank you again.

The SCSI board that ships with the S-6E is a completely worthless piece of crap and should be tossed into the nearest trash can. Pick up a cheap Adaptec and install the kernel drivers for it and you'll be fine with that scanner. I used to run the same here with an AHA-1524 card (at least, I think that was the number of the card, it's been awhile). -- Steve Philp Network Administrator Advance Packaging Corp.

Re: [newbie] hard drive problems
Hi I have the same problem and I didn't update anything. I bought my Mandrake 6.0 (Venus) in CheapBytes. Is it necessary to update some thing to avoid that? If yes, which are the files and where do I catch them? Thank you. Bernhard Rosenkraenzer ha scritto: On Mon, 9 Aug 1999, Bert Bullough wrote: Ok, this really sucks. My hard drive isn't unmounting properly when i shut down. By any chance, are you using Mandrake 6.0-1 without having updated the kernel and initscripts package?
