I've done that (at least in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directory). Each subdirectory now has a new fonts.dir file. No luck. Is not the "unix/:7100" error relating to a URL:port notation? If so, that would lead me to suspect a net communication error, although I am able to ping various IP addres

X won't start

2003-10-09 Thread Allan Rabenau
I've somehow lost something which causes X not to start when I boot (from HD or from Boot Floppy).  After all the normal boot messages, apparently X tries to start, but I get only the quick CL prompt, and then X appears to try to start again, then the prompt, over and over.  Booting into lin

Where did my firewire disk go?

I just installed a big Firewire HD & Firewire PCI Card into my Gateway G6-450 running RH 9.0. Boot sees and initializes the Ieee1394 card & interface, but I can't locate the HD, in order to add it to /etc/fstab. Can anyone give me any help? Thanks Al [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Linksys Wireless Card

2003-06-09 Thread Allan Rabenau
I have a LinksysWMP54G wireless card in an HP Vectra dual boot machine. Under XP, all is fine, but using RedHat 9, I can't get the card to work. It isn't even seen at boot time. I emailed Linksys Support and, sure enough, they came back and said "Linksys hasn't released a driver for Linux yet". D

I had exactly the same situation arise with Gateway. I have a G6-450 for which I purchased XP to upgrade. The sound (on board) failed. I called Gateway to see if they had a newer driver. Since I didn't purchase the upgrade through them, they refused to support it, or to even answer any further
