Sorry to bother, but I'm a fairly new user and have dug myself into a
hole and my searches of the Debian lists haven't turned up what I'm
needing.
Recently did an install of Woody on a Pismo, things have been fine.
Added the Debian testing distributions to my sources.list. Got a

Hi all-
Scanned the list on this topic and read what's in
/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/.../mini, but still aren't really sure what's going
on with powerpc 3-button mouse support.
I'm running a stable Woody distro so far and X/twm. Anyone have a
favorite USB mouse with three-button support?
Best,

Hi all-
More newbie questions:
I've got a stable Woody distro on my Pismo laptop and an internal VST
250 meg Zip drive in the CD Rom bay.
I can mount an HFS formatted Zip like this:
mount -t hfs /dev/hde ./zip
...and I can of course mount and read ISO9660 CDs when the CD in is the
bay.
I have

Hi all-
I've got a question aging with no response over at the Pure Data list,
and thought I'd bring a piece of it over here.
Can anyone tell me whether the OSS dma_sound driver (which I'm using
under 2.4) can or cannot do full duplex CD quality audio?
That is, can I open both input and output t
Hi all-
I've got the dma_sound driver loaded in a Woody distribution on my Pismo
laptop. Could anyone tell me what kind of midi support if should expect
from this driver? I've got a number of usb midi interfaces.

Hi all-
Somewhat of a newbie question about setting up CUPS to run with my Linux
Pismo:
I've got an HP LaserJet 2100TN running on a network with an OSX Panther
iBook and the Pismo with Linux Woody. On the OSX machine, I've got
emacs (under Apple's X11) configured so it prints fine.
On the Linux

Messed around most all day with this. To recap:
Mostly stock Woody distro on Pismo laptop.
apt-get'd CUPS and installed.
Netatalk previously installed.
LaserJet 2100 TN with JetDirect 600 3110a.
Found Thomas Kaiser's pap backend script, placed in

CUPS also seems to load before Netatalk and so reports that it can't

Thanks for this. I'm pretty sure I know where to go to learn about

Hi all-
Finally got CUPS to work. Embarrassed to say it was simply a matter of
using the correct driver, which I wasn't doing for quite a while.
Just to close the thread for any newbie in a similar spot:
Netcat was really useful in confirming I was talking to my LaserJet
correctly.

Hi all-
Working on what I need to know to build a 2.6 kernel with ALSA drivers,
but in the meantime, I'm fiddling with the drivers included in the stock
Woody distro.
I had a question about the use of the USB audio driver. When I
installed Woody, I selected both dmasound_pmac and usb_audio in mo
Hi all-
Finally figured out that upgrading a kernel image was pretty
straightforward. But my upgrade (to 2.6.8) stopped because I haven't
configured my bootloader (yaboot, right?) to use initrd.
Could someone point me to the documentation I need to read to do this
configuration? I'm reading the

Hi all-
Uprading my 2.4.18 kernel to 2.6.8 using Debian packages. I have a Pismo
with the internal disk split between Linux and OS9 partitions. Did an
aptitude upgrade to "testing" before I commenced. Everything seems to
have gone smoothly.
Here's the info I have in yaboot.conf:

Mike-
Thanks very much for this which partially answers my recent additional
post.

Hi Mike-
Reasessed my yaboot.conf based on your clarifications and booted into
2.6.8 without a hitch as far as I can see.
Now to figure out how to get the ALSA drivers working...
Thanks very much for your help! Always nice to see a panix.com address.
I'm in the City every Tuesday and Wednesday,
Hi all-
Two hopefully quick questions about driver module configuration on
2.6.8. I have a G3 Pismo.
Used modconf interactively to install/remove drivers and had some
questions about a few. Haven't the faintest what they do (well, I can
guess on some...)

Hi all-
Upraded from Woody to 2.6.8 on my Pismo and in getting all the ALSA
packages this morning, ran into the following:
I 'apt-get install alsa-base' and was recommended to install a few other
packages, notably 'alsa-conf-0.4'. I 'apt-get install alsaconf' as this

Hi all-
I'm stuck in TWM/X Windows because, I believe, I forgot to add the
-exitonFail parameter to an xconsole entry in my .xsession file.
So I'm staring at my root window and a console window that says
"Couldn't open console." Nothing more.
Doesn't seem like I can switch to another terminal. (
Well, I was able to break out with, I think, a key combination of:
(Ctl-Opt-Cmd-F12)
...which gave me a cursor in the upper left corner of the screen. I
think then I was able to get to the F6 terminal and login.
Can anyone tell me what I did?
Best,

Hi all-
Read a long-ish thread on this subject from 2003, but I'm still in the
dark about using xlibmesa-DRI with the ATI graphics on my Pismo. I'm
running a stock 2.6.8 kernel on my Pismo.
If I run glxgears, I get a warning that says extension "XFree86-DRI" is
missing. I've got "load dri" in X
Hi all-
Got an Asante 5402-XG wifi card I'm trying to get to work on a Pismo/Linux
2.6.8. Seems like I'm pretty close, but so far no luck. Don't have another
machine of any OS to test some things though...
Looks like lspci finds the card and I've added the airport support modules,
still no res
Hey all-
Didn't find anything in the archives: is there support for the 2nd
monitor connection for Pismo laptops?
I've got a 2.6.8 kernel so maybe I'm behind the times.
Thanks,
