RE: Hardware help needed...
2. While there appears to be a Pilot/Handspring utility. I can not get the RH8 to recognize the Handspring at all. I've tried to reboot with the cradle attached as well as with the configuration utility. One thing I've noticed is there is no device for the handspring. Neither a /dev/pilot or /dev/visor. create a symbolic link to the device that your handspring is using. To find this device, hit the hotsync button on your cradle, the run 'dmesg' as root. this will tell you where it is appearing (most likely /dev/usb/ttyUSB1). ln -s /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 /dev/pilot. As root, change the permissions on whaterver the /dev/pilot device was linked to: chown 'user' /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 chgrp 'group' /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 chmod ug+rw /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 With 'pilot-xfer' and 'J-Pilot' start the HotSync from your PDA before engaging the application's sync features. (/dev/pilot needs to be active). With evolution/gpilotd, this is not necessary. To set up your conduits (addressbook, notes, blah, blah) run: gpilotd-control-applet --cap-id=1 4. The NVidia GForce 4 video card does not allow for hardware acceleration, while I've not found any hardware compatibility specs for the model of laptop I have, the 8100 states that you should not turn it on. By what is the nv driver? Nvidia? The install set mine to vesa. Head over to www.nvidia.com and download the RH8.0 rpm. This will give you the module needed for your card with acceleration. The module is not included in RH8 since it is closed source/proprietary code.

note: since this is a RH 8.0 issue, you might be better off posting to psyche-list, for a better chance of getting an answer. On Wed, 20 Nov 2002, Christopher Yoder wrote: 3.

Re: Hardware help needed...
Not really too sure about the 1st 3 problems you are having, but to get full 3d acceleration with the GF4 u will want the NVIDIA drivers available from www.nvidia.com (there is a pretty comprehensive guide about instalation available too) the nv driver is the open source version of the driver, it ships with redhat, but if you have a slightly out of the ordinary set up the redhat installer will default to the vesa drivers. I would still recomend getting the propriety NVIDIA drivers though, they give far better results, allowing you to play nice games like quake 3, RTCW, UT2003. Some ppl say there are less stable, but i have been useing them since their arrival and i've never had a problem. Regards, Adam On Wed, 2002-11-20 at 16:36, Christopher Yoder wrote: All, Hello!
