Camera drivers under Debian

Hey, folks! I finally have a project in the wings that may actually pay $$$ for me to deploy a real live debian based solution... that would be cool in many ways and it would mean that I could finally have a debian environment on my desktop with some hope of having time to

[claws out] [box on] I have to vent. OK, I cannot believe that after HOW MANY years of development, X windows is still such a completely inconsistent and painful user interface. # I think you forgot to include open, free, expandable, flexible, . . . Free, yes. Expandable--

Actually-- I thought it was appropriate for the devel list since it may affect future development of debian at the user interface level. Regardless, my followup is to debian-user only. There is no inter-application communication or awareness to speak of. # This can be handelt via

Jim asked about GnuStep; Well-- a complete set of GnuStep packages have been built by Karl Sackett and are awaiting my work on gcc [an attempt to fix a crasher in the optimizer that causes the base GnuStep library to NOT be built with optimization-- UGH!] before release. Now that I have an

Multicast support; 2.0.23 vs. EtherExpress Pro/100

1996-10-29 Thread Bill Bumgarner
I'm having absolutely no luck building a working multicast routing capable kernel with the eepro100.c driver. The driver works beautifully in a 'normal' kernel (in both cases, I'm actually dynamically loading the eepro100 module at boot). The machine boots fine;

Re: does libc5.4.7 compatible with netscape 3.0

1996-10-29 Thread Bill Bumgarner
Yet another problem with libc5.4.7-- but only if we back out to the previous stable version. Specifically; the latest cpp and gcc packages [the ones on which I based my objc-compatible gcc/cpp packages] REQUIRE libc5.4.7. So, backing out on 5.4.7 will likely require backing out to gcc

Does anyone have multi-cast working under Debian linux? I tried building a kernel with multicast enabled [including tunneling/routing] but subsequent rebooting of the machine rendered the ethernet interface completely inoperative. I'm using an Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 card... but could

I have had no problems with Donald Beckers [sp.] eepro100.c driver built against the 2.0.18 sources. As well, I have also used a couple of different Tulip based cards; the Cogent EM960 (which, btw, causes the system to lock up under heavy load) and the SMC 21041 based card. If you would

After a kind pointer from Guy Maor, the gcc package is noow renumbered to more closely follow the dpkg release policy for a third party maintainer. I also compiled gdb_4.16 with the Objective-C support patches from NeXT. As well, it appears that the _MIT_POSIX_THREADS included in debian work

First, thanks to all who assisted me with the Tulip+2940 kernel-- as it turns out, debian 1.1 ships with the tulip driver as a dynamically loadable module... so, merely adding 'tulip' to /etc/modules fixes the lacking driver problem!!! [though, tulip didn't work for me-- i had to use the
