[newbie-it] cambiare monitor
Buongiorno Lista, ho un nuovo monitor che non è presente nell'elenco che trovo nel MCC. E' marchiato Nortec ma chissà chi lo ha prodotto in realtà! Come posso fargli fare un autorilevamento? Grazie anche per le risposte ottenute sul 3d f3, il locate è na favola (esiste un corrispondente con la stessa velocità per win$? ;-)). Gpaolo __ Yahoo!

Re: [newbie-it] Lucent Win Modem
probabilmente non c'entra niente, comunque: dopo aver installato un altro winmodem (conexant) ho avuto lo stesso problema ho seguito un messaggio precedente sulla lista che mi diceva di creare semplicemente un link simbolico in dev ln-s /dev/ttyHSF0 /dev/modem (nel tuo caso potrebbe essere ttyLT0; bada che anche da me non esisteva ttySHF0 ed è spuntato per magia) facendo atto di fede, senza chiedere perchè. ho avuto fede e sono stato premiato. non ti costa molto e puoi sempre cancellare il link se non funziona. ciao. linux-sn ha scritto: .

John WARNING - The following text will be of no interest to any non Britons, and will be tediously boring to anyone who reads it. - This is because of something called 'Ringer Equivalence Number' or REN. In the UK we have a 3 wire circuit around the home. The 'A' and 'B' wires carry the telephone signal, while the third wire carries the 'ringing' current. The master socket contains a 1mF capacitor to communicate the ring current to the third wire. According to British Standards, the ringing current is sufficient to power up to 4 old style telephone bells. Each bell has a REN number of 1.0. Any more than 4 bells, and none of them may be audible. When a supplier releases a product on the market to attach to a telephone line they have to declare the REN number. If they declare a REN of 1.0 or higher it does not need to be tested by BABT (British Approvals Board for Telecommunications), any declaration less than 1.0 requires complex and expensive testing. The consequence is that all manufacturers declare a REN of 1.0 even though in actuality the products generally have a REN of around 0.2 This of course makes a mockery of the entire process, but it does explain why Freeserve tell you only to attach 4 devices.

Steve says he has an xD camera working fine, so my problem is probably either connecting to a hub, rather than direct to the mobo - and I'm going to pull the furniture out and try every available slot to test that - or the fact that I have another usb-storage device already attached. I wouldn't have thought that would be a problem, but I don't see anyone else saying they have that situation. I so also have an unrecognised scsi film scanner attached. I don't think that's relevant, but at this point, who knows? Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] EVOLUTION IMAP problem
Hi, I'm running the standard IMAP server supplied with MDK9 and EVOLUTION clients. The problem is, that can't create subdirectories on the server with EVOLUTION. Using MS OUTLOOK/OUTLOOK EXPRESS appending the / char to the directory name allows to create subdirs in it, but EVOLUTION rejects such names. Any advice? I have no experience with CYRUS IMAP server. Does it behaves differently? regards... Bela Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] More 9.0 questions.
Okay, I'm now randomly booting into v9.0 of Mandrake (about 1 out of every 5 attempted bootups are successful - the rest lockup so hard that the keys are the keyboard won't work). Same thing with shutting down - sometimes it does, sometimes it don't. I've got about 5 entries in /etc/lilo.conf, using different kernels, with different combinations of noapic and noacpi. Okay, it used to be a given that plug 'n play was turned off in BIOS. Is that still true? I have APIC turned off in BIOS - should it be off or on? Really, does it make a difference? I'm asking because according to dmesg - whether its turned off or on, I always get the same message: Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- reenabling. Found and enabled local APIC! Anyone have any idea if I d/le'd and installed a newer cooker kernel if it might help? Or maybe if I recompiled what I've got and left ACPI out for good?

Re: [newbie] Linux-compatible ISP in US sought
What I'm trying to fully understand is what exactly does one mean by stating Linux Compatible ISP. Well, if they require windows-only software (aol, msn, etc.) they won't be linux compatible. I'm not sure I wouild even classify aol as an ISP in the strict sense. They're more like a portal to the internet, or a BBS. In other words, you aren't really truly part of the Internet as an AOL user. What ISN'T compatible about an ISP? Well, many ISPs may be compatible, and others may have some peculiar idiosyncracies that make operation with Linux difficult - for instance PPP over Ethernet (pppoe). A service that offers that is just a little bit braindead. It's making life a little more difficult, and it does manage to slow things down. All you need is a phone number, a username and password. That's all. That's all that's required. Essentially correct. That's all that's required for AOL, along with their proprietary interface software, of course. Still all that is done is a modem login. Assoming you're on a dialup connection - even if you were on DSL - what's needed (or strongly desired) is static IP, your own host- name, etc. Vanity hosts aren't strictly necessary, as long as your hostname is addressable, that's what counts.
