The sdparm is not applicable. You said that they are IDE drives on older 500 MHz system, so hdparm should be right application. I'm not familiar with hdparm internals so I ran test on my older computer with 10.3 alpha 1 and it shows the same error, although I used symlink hda that points to sda ie. solving naming: hdparm -c1 /dev/hda That might be because the device ID major is changed from 3 to 8. Which probably confuses hdparm. The hdparm -i /dev/hda claims that parameter is not applicable for the device. The same works fine in 10.2. The speed test hdparm -t /dev/hda shows speed of 55 MB/s for ATA 100 drive, which seems to be right. For details on transfer rates http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cfm?ArticleID=RWT01170100 The difference between 16 and 32 transfer is non existent on older machine, both show 55 MB/s. The reason is probably oldfashioned parallel cable that has 16 lines for data transfer and using 32 bit brings no improvement, except on very old systems where CPU load is 1/2 if it can send 32 bits to controller at once. -- Regards, Rajko. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [opensuse-factory] PPD file for konica minolta magicolor 2530DL
2007/5/6, Rafał Miłecki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Try:
http://foo2lava.rkkda.com/
foo2lava is an open source printer driver for printers that use the
Zenographics LAVAFLOW wire protocol for their print data, such as the
Konica Minolta magicolor 2530 DL or the Konica Minolta magicolor 2490
MF. These printers are often erroneously referred to as winprinters or
GDI printers. However, Microsoft GDI only mandates the API between an
application and the printer driver, not the protocol on the wire
between the printer driver and the printer. In fact, LAVAFLOW printers
are raster printers which happen to use a very efficient wire protocol
which was developed by Zenographics and licensed by most major printer
manufacturers for at least some of their product lines. LAVAFLOW is
just one of many wire protocols that are in use today, such as
Postscript, PCL, Epson, ZjStream, etc.
This driver uses Ghostscript to perform all of the heavy lifting
(image processing). There are five major components to the foo2lava
printer driver.
* foo2lava - the page image to protocol conversion engine of the driver.
* foo2lava-wrapper - a shell script (compatible with foomatic)
which runs ghostscript and foo2lava in a pipeline.
* icc2ps - converts an ICM color profile to a Postscript CRD,
which is then fed into Ghostscript before the users Postscript
program.
* foomatic-db - foomatic database entries which describe the
supported printers and their options so that printer spoolers know how
to access the printer using foo2lava-wrapper.
* lavadecode - a tool for developers to inspect LAVAFLOW streams.
You can read the manual pages for more information.
Download and Install
Click the link, or cut and paste the whole command line below to
download the driver.
$ wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz
Now unpack it:
Unpack:
$ tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz
$ cd foo2zjs
Now compile and install it. The INSTALL file contains more
detailed instructions; please read it now.
Compile:
$ make
Get extra files from the web, such as .ICM profiles for color
correction,
and firmware. Select the model number for your printer:
$ ./getweb 2530 # Get Konica Minolta magicolor 2530 DL .ICM
files
$ ./getweb 2490 # Get Konica Minolta magicolor 2490 MF .ICM
files
Install driver, foomatic XML files, and extra files:
$ su OR $ sudo make install
# make install
(Optional) If you use CUPS, restart the spooler:
# make cups OR $ sudo make cups
Now create printer entries for your spooler. Create at least one
queue for monochrome, and another queue for color printing. Create the
queues first, then edit them and set the device options as desired.
See your operating system documentation for further details on
creating a printer queue. Click any hyperlinks below for sample
screenshots.

[opensuse-factory] PPD file for konica minolta magicolor 2530DL
Hello,
I would like openSUSE 10.3 to support my printer without installing
additional RPMs. It doesn't at the moment because of lack of PPD file
for this printer.
I may provide RPM including PPD file distributed on GPL 2 (this RPM
was included to CD I was given). Who is a right person I should send
this RPM?

[opensuse-factory] hdparm
Hey Group; I have someone with a old AMD K6-2 500Mhz baby MB. It has 2 IDE hard drives on a 66 bus. hdparm and /dev/sda and /dev/sdb seem to have problems. I had a felling that SuSE may be using them as idebus=33 and not 66. So, I was going to check using hdparm and set it on. However, these drives are not liked by hdparm. I keep getting a io error. The system is SuSE 10.3Alpha2. Has anyone noticed this problem? It maybe a problem with hdparm dealing with the sda drive and not hda -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " [EMAIL PROTECTED] " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " [EMAIL PROTECTED] " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?

Please be careful, especially if you are using NetworkManager. I'm using the latest stable vannilla 2.6.21.1 , openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, it seems that YaST cannot handle my netcards anymore. A diff between hwinfo --netcard under 2.6.18.8 & 2.6.21.1 shows that the new kernel would hide some info so that yast in 10.2 cannot handle it.
