DRI in XFree 4 with i810
I've got XFree 4 starting up with DRI (I'm running 2.4-test11, with the agpgart and dri modules). I can run the gears demo, but quake 3a fails to run. I get some Gart errors in my log. I'm attaching my log file. Does anyone know whats the problem. Thanks, viral This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any way.

sawmill and debian menus
This may not be a debian-specific question but I think it probably is, since it involves (at least in part) the debian-specific menu system. I run two boxes, both with potato installed, both up to date with the latest revisions (as of Wed evening, Nov 22nd anyway) from proposed-updates and security.debian.org. I've been trying out sawmill as a window-manager and liking it well. On one of the machines, everything works smoothly. On the other, the mouse works perfectly well for window operations, but I have no menus. Clicking the mouse on the background image produces no output and the following error-message (visible after the X server is killed with Ctl-Alt-Delete): File error : Broken pipe , #

Re: Telent
Hi, if you really need to log in as root via telnet, you must add a line in /etc/securetty and add: pts/0 for only one connection pts/1 for a second connection etc. However, this is unsecure. For maintenance, use ssh instead (and do not add the lines given above). If you need to acces the computer from a windoze platform, use Putty, a client way better than the windoze one and also ssh. For install you can use: # apt-get install ssh this should install the daemon and client. Greetz, Sebastiaan On Wed, 22 Nov 2000, Trainer wrote: > I have a question.

My own rule of thumb is typicall swap = 2-3 x physical RAM. I'm currently running light by that standard, but I've just boosted my box from 96 MB to 256 MB, which is pretty generous for my needs, giving a swap:RAM ratio of 1.57. VA Linux routinely ships its boxes with a 1:1 swap:RAM ratio, but they also tend to run 1-4 GB RAM in their servers.

Re: Using putty for an X session
It doesn't have to support X, just port forwarding. The user will have to supply appropriate xhost and xauth authorization values. Better solution IMO would be VNC.

I got kern_compat.h, pci-scan.c, tulip.c, pci-scan.h (actually that is four, I assumed those were the right files). I can't insmod tulip before I insmod pci-scan (unresolved symbols). After I insmod pci-scan, I still get a "device or resource busy" and something about changing my IRQ or IO parameters to the module (I don't know how to do this). in /proc/pci it says little about my card.. that it is io 0xd400 and irq 11, but it doesn't recognize the type. Is there a way I can send that io address and irq to the module? I tried: ~# insmod tulip irq=11 then I get "error invalid parameter parm_irq" I am not getting my card to work at all and I have spent about 15 hours so far. I tried a diagnostic tool called "tulip-diag" and I get: ~# ./tulip-diag I get messages like: Rx state stopped Tx state stopped and it says something about a 10mbps (it is an FA311 10/100) I am using either a FA311 or FA310 in the computer I am writing this on, and it works fine (Mandrake & Redhat). It shows much more details info in /proc/pci like "LiteOn LNE100TX (rev 32)". If /proc/pci isn't showing good information, how would I get it to work like my other machines? Thanks! Jeff Davis

Some packages like footmisc, soul, which are not a document class can be used alonside each other. g-brief und dinbrief, however, are different documten classes. Same as you can't write a document based on book.cls and a letter (based on g-brief, letter, dinbrief or whatever) at the same time, you can't do that with different classes for a letter. This also applies for the different variants for reports, books or articles. If you tried, the last one will probably overwrite the previous if it does not give you an error. HTH Thorsten

Well you can always try and see if it works. In your case try to input the letter class after the g-brief class. I don't think this will give the desired result though. The prelim2e package puts something at the lower edge of the each page that you can customize to what you want there. Maybe that does what you want. HTH Thorsten

I suggest compiling XFree 4.?.? on the machine with "prefix" set to '/usr/local' (look into the documentation contained in the XFree-Source how to do this) and install ist. You then have to use the Xserver from /usr/local. This does not touch the debina-installed-X. You might be able to install the Xservers from the new X only. This would minimize side-effects. Of course, customization containig the Xserver have to be done in '/usr/local/X11R6/...' by hand.

isdn4k-utils - "make config" problems
I'm experiencing a quite ridiculous problem in running make config for preparing to install the isdn4k-utils: When you run "make config" you get a ascii menu. The second sub menu is displayed as "General Configurations" which is again splitted up to several other sub menus. The first one out of these is called "Build options" where you can choose "Build programs which need X11 installed". However, when trying to mark this feature I get a error that another option is required for X11 support, but not precisely which one - just a general error ! Quite amazing since the only option bevor this one would be "Code maturity level options" which is above "General Configurations" and this feature is enabled! Would someone kindly help? Robert

help news
I am trying to use Suck and Cnews to download articles from my ISP and deliver to a local news server for offline reading with Netscape Communicator. I (think) I have Suck and Cnews properly configured - at least, I can manually initiate a news dump with the command "suck news.flash.net -U myusername -P mypasswd -dm /var/spool/news/in.coming" I can see that message get loaded to in.coming. But, nothing happens from there. When using Netscape, it connects to my localhost, but the newsgroups always show as empty. The files don't get moved from in.coming to the appropriate directories under /var/spool/news. Are there additional programs or scripts that I need besides Suck and Cnews to complete the process? If so, could someone please point me to them, or provide me some sample scripts? I would like to have certain newsgroups automatically downloaded periodically and available offline to my browser. I don't seem to have any cron scripts installed to do this. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Russ

fetchmail not communicating with exim.
Hello all I have been battling with exim, fetchmail and mutt now for what seems like eons! I have made progress over the time and am at a situation now where I can receive mal I send to a normal user from root. However when trying to connect receive mail from my remote server fetchmail does not seem to be passing the mail to exim and therefore I am receiving no mail in the jmj mail box. Does nay one have any idea a how I can rectify this problem? Also if fetchmail is not transferring mail to exim where is it putting it? Thanks for all help which is much appreciated. jm

Watch out for those model numbers, and don't assume two cards with similar names are really related. Apparently the FA311 does not use the tulip driver. Try a google search on FA311 and linux.

Re: 2.4 kernel on potato, what userland needs updating
I installed 2.4 on a potato (updated Storm) release, in order to use XFree4.0.1 and a usb mouse on a motherboard with an Intel i810 chip. I started with test 8, and had a few problems with it freezing up occasionaly. I am now at test 10, and have no problems with the OS. Getting X 4.0.1 running was a lot more difficult. I haven't installed Gnome or Kde yet, so I don't know about that. Good luck.

Too much work, that is why I bought the commercial OSS Linux drivers. I tried the kernel module route and the ALSA drivers but had no success.

Depending on your skill level, and how much you really want this, you can try extracting the footer-related section from the letter class and putting that in the g-brief class (or inputting it separately). If you do this, just make a new class. I've done similar stuff with modifying the seminar.cls style to get rid of borders, or modifying bibliography styles to allow for a Bachelor's thesis.

Portmapper maps the RPC services to ports. The list of services it deals with are listed in /etc/rpc. Most of them deal with clustered computing, so you'll need to run portmap if you're using nfs, yp, or (I think) trying to do a beowulf-type setup. Otherwise, you probably don't need it. You could try doing a `rpcinfo -p localhost` to find out what your computer is making available. > Is there an alternative to running portmapper? Portmap is a fairly big security risk, since it allows lots of new access to your machine. You may remember a recent rpc.statd exploit that could have been prevented if the target machine was not running portmap. Of course, if you need it, then you need it. Use TCP wrappers to protect yourself. If you're behind a firewall, this is less of an issue, but layered security is still the way to go. Damian Menscher -- --==## Grad. student & Sys. Admin. @ U.

Just curious, do you have the box handy which the card came in?. You can get the model number off of that or by looking at the card itself. My cards also came with a floppy called "Drivers and Diagnostic Disk". It has Micro~s??t DOS on it but if you mount it up , you may find some Linux drivers. All of mine did. I have the FA311 drivers on my floppy btw and can send them to you offlist if these are the ones you need and for some reason you can't get them off your floppy. (I'd check your floppy first of course.) The exact model I have is Netgear FA311 REV-A1. I also have the other models as well. Jeff, here is another "gotcha" you may want to watch for when compiling your own drivers. Go to /usr/doc/kernel-source-? and look at the README.header.gz. There is a big messy issue with kernel headers wrt to /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux. I do know form personal experience that compiling with /usr/include/linux and the /usr/src/linux headers makes nonfunctional drivers. Some vendors tend to make assumptions which aren't valid at present. Good luck, 15 hours to get a device to work is a real pain. Been there, done that. (: --- Cliff

I've got a variety of 2.4.0-test{10|11pre6|11} kernels on largely stock
potato systems.

You need the modutils from woody - the layout of
/lib/modules/ changed as of 2.4.0-test6. The woody sources
compile fine on potato.
Oh and some drivers have been renamed - rtl8139 is now 8139too, etc.

No it's not required
Documentation/Changes is better looked as a "guideline" as to what you
whould be running - often you won't have any trouble running with slightly
old packages; ie e2fsprogs 1.18 vs e2fsprogs 1.19.
Just keep in mind that if you have trouble with a certain feature and you
are using the older userland programs the kernel developers will tell you
to upgrade.
> and if so is there any gotchas installing glibc from woody on potato?
Um... somehow I think you would be better off switching to woody :)

Also > if fetchmail is not transferring mail to exim where is it putting it? Again, my understanding is that "fetchmail" does not "put" mail anywhere; it just makes sure that mail it is grabbing is placed into the SMTP stream for exim to pick up. I do not know how much experience you have, etc., etc. so I'm going to ask you to answer a few "newbie" questions (besides, as a programmer, I've found that it always helps to "run the checklist" from time to time :) ) 1. Do you have a mailbox in /var/spool/mail/ I'm pretty sure that exim, by default, delivers mail to /var/spool/mail/. Verify you have a local mailbox. 2. Are you using a smarthost (i.e. you chose option 2 when setting up eximconfig)? If not, what options did you choose? 3. What is your local_hosts variable set to in /etc/exim.conf? I had a goofy problem here; I set my local_hosts var to home.com (the domain my email address is part of) and then could not get any mail out to user's with the same domain because my system thought it was the mailserver for them! Doh! 4. Could you show me/us what your .fetchmailrc file looks like. Don't forget to hide your password when you do! 5. Is you .fetchmailrc file permissions set to 600 (i.e. chmod 600 .fetchmailrc) 6. Do you have procmail set up? Are you using a .procmailrc file? If you use procmail, which many mutt users do for filtering and distributing email, exim will use the rules (procmail calls them "recipes") in .procmailrc for handling your mail. 7. Setting up mutt is a whole 'nuther situation...let's get you through retrieving your mail from the server, then we can worry about mutt. rob.jacobs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~no witty sig required~

Normally you need to use either innxmit (if you have it) or rnews (if you don't) to post the downloaded articles locally.

As far as I know (I have a SiS 630), support for this chipset is built in the SVGA xserver, no need for xsis. So use that xserver, don't use any hardware acceleration options, and things should work. (This chipset is very good, but there is lack of support for it in X. Its performance in X is ridiculous compared to what it's capable of in Windows. A shame, but I can't help, as I'm not a programmer myself.) A better place for questions like this, if things don't work out, would be the xfree86 newbie list.

Sound card seems to be recognized but nothing else.
I tried compiling in Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI 97 (ES1371), which someone said should work. On bootup I get the following: es1371: version v0.22 time 15:47:48 Nov 23 2000 es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274 device id 0x5880 revision 0x02 es1371: found es1371 rev 2 at io 0xe800 irq 10 es1371: features: joystick 0x0 es1371: codec vendor v (0x838476) revision 9 (0x09) es1371: codec features 18bit DAC 18bit ADC es1371: stereo enhancement: SigmaTel SS3D I thought this meant the card was recognized, but cat /proc/sound doesn't give anything. I have no idea how to go on from here. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Ok. Let me suggest you some. 1) es1371 is not an OSS/Free driver, so that a cat /proc/sound or a cat /dev/sndstat won't produce anything. 2) es1371 also does not support a cat file.wav > /dev/dsp. You need a normal program to do it. Try apt-get install sox and then use the command "play". 3) If you're not listening to anything, remember to turn on the speakers because this chip doesn't have an amplificator. Also, most of the time the mixer is set up with a very low volume with which you can't hear anything. Well, that's it. Good luck. -- Leonardo Dias Analista Programador / Analyst Programmer Catho Online www.catho.com.br

AFAIK there is an 3.3.6 Xserver for SiS cards. Not sure if it includes your chipset. Then, the `normal' SVGA server also has support for SiS.

On my machine it's just '/usr/sbin/get-news' in a cron job (well, it would be if I didn't have various hacks around it to grab users' .newsrcs and automatically add them to the sucknewsrc). I'm using INN rather than cnews, but the procedure looks like it should be the same. You may have a load of downloaded articles in /var/spool/suck, and batch files for them in /var/state/suck; to post those without having to download them again, something like 'rnews your.news.server < /var/state/suck/batch.whatever' should work (see the end of /usr/sbin/get-news), followed by removing the batch files and /var/spool/suck/your.news.server. > And Happy Thanksgiving!

full duplex sound card ?
hello dear friends does anyone knows if the following sound card works as full duplex under linux, i mean, if its driver works in full duplex mode ? CREATIVE SB 128 P&P (Stereo) PCI if this is not the case, which sound cards had been reported as working with full duplex mode under linux ? (and that are not so expensive :-)) the intended use is voice trasnmission using speakfreely. i already use this aplication, but at the long term is a little bit fustrating using it in half duplex mode thank you for your help greetings erasmo..

Setting up eth1 interface
Hello All, I have been trying to set up a small local network with a linux box as a gateway and my wife's win98 laptop. I am running potato with a fresh 2.2.17 kernel from kernel.org. Currently, a D-link DE-530TX is working well with a tulip driver loaded as a module to connect to my cable modem. The second NIC is a linksys LNE-100TX ver. 4.0, which also uses the tulip driver. However, I cannot get the eth1 interface to initialize. #ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 up SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth1: unknown interface: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device eth1: unknown interface: No such device In my /etc/network/interfaces file there is no entry for eth1. eth0 is : iface eth0 inet dhcp so I tried adding : "iface eth1 inet" Now with #ifup eth1, I get the error /etc/network/interfaces: too few parameters for iface line So, I think that I am almost there I just cannot find any information on what options should be on that line. Or am I not really supposed to be editing that file directly? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sean [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Setting up the drivers is pretty simple as long as you have the kernel headers installed correctly (if you built your own kernel then you do). Speakfreely is a nice app, and the alsa drivers seem to work well in full duplex mode. You'll need the snd-card-ens1371 module and probably the oss emulation stuff. The documentation on the alsa site is fairly good. I was able to get it running first time through. > > thank you for your help Hope that works for you Damon > > greetings > > erasmo.. > >

Re: module for usb support
module for usb support>I have a scanner HP5200c connected to a usb port, invisible from debian, >which makes me suspect that there is some module for usb that I have not >installed. does any one know which? USB is not properly supported in Linux until the 2.4 kernel (the one that still hasn't been officially deemed 'stable'. This gives you two options a) Run a 2.4 series kernel b) Run a 2.2 series kernel with a patch applied to add USB support. The good news is the HP5200C is listed as working in USB mode under linux. Have a surf around http://linux-usb.org and its links to find all the information you should need. - Chris PS: Let us know how you go, I would certainly be interested because I have the same scanner and haven't yet got around to setting it up under Linux :)

I have always found it simplest to do this by way of the net. The rdate command contacts a time-date server and sets your system-clock accordingly.

I had some trouble with modules but I thought that had been resolved with a fresh install this morning and the recompiled kernel from fresh sources. ( I have been fighting with this problem on and off for over a month, but I will fix it today if the coffee holds out) By the way, I have a gnome ( with helix gnome ) desktop. Currently, using Mozilla for mail since my local mail also isn't yet working.

Re: Broken gmc
Yes, this same thing happens to me with any new users I create. It doesn't happen to me in my profile ever though so there must be something in the default config files created for new users. This is not a problem of mixed packages with Helix because I've never installed anything from Helix. I haven't looked into this any further because I don't really care that much about adding new users. -Jeff Kai Weber wrote: Hi, since last update of serveral packages (woody) gmc stopped working on my Gnome dsektop running sawfish as window manager.

Just recompiled my kernel the other day to support firewalling but haven't had time to work on the iptables and other configuration issues. @home is way too broad in their description of "server". I understand that their intent is to limit bandwidth since it is a shared resource but their one-size-fits-all policy is ridiculous.

Before anyone says it, I would have gone DSL but I can't get it where I am... the switches are setup for it yet. Sucks. They would not go for it.

X4 DRI works on my G400!??
Hello, After help from various people DRI is now working on my Debian Woody 440BX/ZX Celeron SMP box with MGA G400 DH 32MB no max, SB live using alsa and kernel-2.4.0-test11. Thank you all, especially for the hints about processor type entry in the kernel configuration and the need for interrupt enabling for the video card in the BIOS. I have a few additional questions/comments: 1. Anybody knows why the 2x Mode for AGP is not working? (XFree86.0.log: Option AGPMode2x not used) 2. Is it safe to use the OverClockMem option? 3. Any other useful options? 4. Other useful BIOS settings? 5. Do the use of MatroxHal library improve performance in addition to eg. DH support? 6. Running the first timedemo in Q3A gives 40-42 fps, without any sound problems. However, running the intro video sequence the sound is partially heavily distorted or muted. Is there a mismatch between the resources between the video and the sound card? 7. Running gnome and eg. xosview is reducing the frame rate for Q3A. Is there a way for the kernel and/or X4 to lower the priority for processes not visible on the screen? Thanks, Svante Signell

I think the issue may be a faulty > exim configuration here. so fetchmail -v shows that it is going to the mta? if it is, then it's probably a config error like you said.. right now i'm working on a pop3->queue program for my mta so once i get that done (probably won't take more than a day), i will be able to get rid of fetchmail.. one step closer to elminating all the programs that i didn't make!
