[newbie] Toshiba Satellite 1410 internal modem driver
Ciao Ho scaricato il driver slmdm-2.7.14 per far funzionare con Mandrake 9.2 il modem interno di un Toshiba Satellite 1410. Sono riuscita ad estrarre tutti i files dell'archivio con il comando: tar xvfz slmdm-2.7.14.tar.gz Tra i files non ho trovato nessun file denominato 'install.sh' o files utili per l'autoconfigurazione. Se provo a cercare nel pacchetto files eseguibili premendo due volte TAB, non li trova, anche se c'e' un file denominato 'slver' che se selezionato graficamente nella directory viene definito eseguibile. Nel pacchetto c'e' un Makefile, ma al comando make install viene visualizzato il msg: make: *** no rule to make target 'install'. Stop. Stessa cosa succede con le versioni 2.7.8, 2.7.9 e 2.7.10 del driver. Ho installato Mandrake solo da pochi giorni e sono completamente nuova ai sistemi linux, quindi non esitate a darmi suggerimenti che possono apparirvi scontati. Grazie e ciao.

Re: [newbie] Audiogalaxy Satellite
Audiogalaxy thought it best to leave the interface-building to the open source community for the GNU/Linux version. While you can still use the web-based interface at audiogalaxy.com, there are some truly innovative clients like 6's Spiffy AudioGalaxy Query Tool (http://agqt.sourceforge.net/). It's console-based, but it's the best music finder I've ever seen. The main problem with AudioGalaxy nowadays is that they block a lot of searches for legal reasons. Services like Gnutella and eDonkey are fully decentralised, and so don't have this problem.

Hi Sridhar, You just have to untar the archive in your home dir. and then on the AGSatellite0520 dir. created, make an account.txt file and on the first line type your Login name and on the second your password. After you create the shares.txt file and type the dir. where you are going to store your MP3s. Something like /home/YOU/My Music When that's done just open a terminal and do to the AGSatellite0520 dir and type ./AGSatellite (if using the satic. If using the glibc find out which one) to launch it. It should detect you have no MP3 yet and then you just go to the web page and log in.

Re: [newbie] Toshiba Satellite 2065 and Sound

In a PC you can buy a board containing modem and sound or motherboard w/ sound, video, modem, SCSI or LAN card built in.

David Klein. -Original Message- From: David Klein [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a Satellite 2065, in checking around regarding Toshiba and Linux and in Toshiba Europe's main "unsupported but we have to mention it because we know that we eventually will" page, I might be out of luck on the sound card and the modem for now as they list. I did find something on a listserv I'm going to try for the modem regarding "statserial" which I'll try. Regarding the sound card there is something weird. It's an ESS that I've not seen before. While standard examples of ESS for laptops (I've had them since 1996 in an AST in a TI Travelmate what a piece of junk that laptop was)include the 688, 1688 and 1888 this one is odd. It has an "ESS Device Manager" at Interrupt Request 11 and a "Maestro DOS Games/FM Devices" at Interrupt Request 05. Strange? They are usually easy, tried and true sound cards. In doing sndconfig it can't find it via PnP nor can it be manually set. Could it be a WinSound card? ;-) Looks like it's using some sort of software control for the device. Look in your BIOS setup to see if you can change options on this device. Since it is probably impossible to change out the sound card (chips), the device may be hard set in the BIOS. At the least, Toshiba or ESS may answer emailed questions about the device. Ask them what cards the sound card/module/chips are supposed to be equivalent to. How did you get the info ("ESS Device Manager" at Interrupt Request 11 and a "Maestro DOS Games/FM Devices" at Interrupt Request 05)? was this from Windows95/3.1? There is are two "DEVICE BUSY" type message that flash across the screen briefly at boot up dealing with the above. Since it is Linux-Mandrake 6.0, it goes right into one of the window managers that comes with it. I've been hunting for some sort of boot log in /etc and in /boot to no avail. How do I turn up the error log level boot up messaging file and where is that file located? I apologize for being such a novice.
RE: [newbie] Toshiba Satellite 2065 and Sound
Ripcrd6, In investigating here's what I found out. ESS's newest chip is a hybrid one. PCI with IRQ11 as the controller and IRQ5 as the sound card. It's not the usual "ESS XXX" chain name, but rather their new branding is called "Maestro". I was able to read the messages and look in some sort of PCI file in the file system and find that Linux doesn't get the IRQ11 bit and while ESS says that Maestro is Soundblaster and Soundblaster Pro compatible it still isn't loading. ESS doesn't display any Linux drivers and points towards "your laptop provider" Toshiba - so far not "supporting Linux officially". Between this and the modem issues (I've even gotten into setserial and modemtool) I have to reload the whole system again b/c hang up problems. It's led to the main mandrake screen (the motif one where you chose if you want KDE, Gnome, the other windows managers, failsafe etc.) to disappear. I've seen two core dump icon's in the root directory but can't figure out which editor will allow me to read the dump. I was up until 3 AM on this stuff. Really frustrating. But I got to make this work! I have an AMD and wish to help break the WINTEL grip on the computer world Ripcrd6!

Unfortunately no. It sets things like the port for the modem UART, XON/XOFF etc. David A.

Brian -Original Message- From: David Klein [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ripcrd6, In investigating here's what I found out. ESS's newest chip is a hybrid one. PCI with IRQ11 as the controller and IRQ5 as the sound card. It's not the usual "ESS XXX" chain name, but rather their new branding is called "Maestro". I was able to read the messages and look in some sort of PCI file in the file system and find that Linux doesn't get the IRQ11 bit and while ESS says that Maestro is Soundblaster and Soundblaster Pro compatible it still isn't loading. ESS doesn't display any Linux drivers and points towards "your laptop provider" Toshiba - so far not "supporting Linux officially". Between this and the modem issues (I've even gotten into setserial and modemtool) I have to reload the whole system again b/c hang up problems. It's led to the main mandrake screen (the motif one where you chose if you want KDE, Gnome, the other windows managers, failsafe etc.) to disappear. I've seen two core dump icon's in the root directory but can't figure out which editor will allow me to read the dump. I was up until 3 AM on this stuff. Really frustrating. But I got to make this work! I have an AMD and wish to help break the WINTEL grip on the computer world Ripcrd6! Dave Klein. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yeah, it sounds like a cross-use of chips. That's what I meant to say. They do this to save board space. In a PC you can buy a board containing modem and sound or motherboard w/ sound, video, modem, SCSI or LAN card built in. It would be great if they could do this without using crap parts which often happens. In a laptop YMMV. And if something goes fritz, new motherboard ==$$. Good Luck
[newbie] Toshiba Satellite 2065 and Sound
I have a Satellite 2065, in checking around regarding Toshiba and Linux and in Toshiba Europe's main "unsupported but we have to mention it because we know that we eventually will" page, I might be out of luck on the sound card and the modem for now as they list. I did find something on a listserv I'm going to try for the modem regarding "statserial" which I'll try. Regarding the sound card there is something weird. It's an ESS that I've not seen before. While standard examples of ESS for laptops (I've had them since 1996 in an AST in a TI Travelmate what a piece of junk that laptop was)include the 688, 1688 and 1888 this one is odd. It has an "ESS Device Manager" at Interrupt Request 11 and a "Maestro DOS Games/FM Devices" at Interrupt Request 05. Strange? They are usually easy, tried and true sound cards.

RE: [newbie] Toshiba Satellite 2065 and Sound
Thanks Ripcrd6. I'll look in the bios and on the ESS site (Toshiba wouldn't help). As far as the info, I got it from Windows 98, settings, control panel, system. It looks like a combo sound, games and midi controller or something. Thanks Again!
