hey, i have many problems because linux does not support my video card.
it's an ATI RAGE LT PRO on the PCI of a Compaq Armada M300

There is no need for /dev/mouse to exist. Are you shure you are
connected to a serial port? Another common location is the PS2
mouse port -- usually located next to the microphone connector.
IF on hte PS2 port it would be /dev/psaux.

I am having some problems installing horde and imp from testing.
When trying to load horde I get:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class db_sql in
/etc/horde/db_mysql.inc on line 12
Which seems to imply that said class is declared twice in different
modules, which does not seem to be the case. Or th

Is there a way to have apt check all the installed packages and look
for missing files or modified files? I've found over the course of time
some missing libs and such and instead of rebuilding the machine it
would be alot easier to find out what I accidently removed, etc.

natsemi is included in kernel 2.4.x. If you can upgrade to that, that would be
best.
You can download the driver for kernel 2.2.x from
www.scyld.com/network/ethecard.html
read www.scyld.com/network/updates.html for compiling/installation
instructions.
good luck

Hello There;
Have you ever seen a situation

I have a redhat server where the /dev/null has
disappeared and when I do mknod /dev/null c 1 3 and then do an ls -l /dev/null
and I get file not found. I cannot even touch that file name nothing se

How do I make the fonts *larger* ???

I don't know what could be wrong with your ethernet card, but it can't
be Debian's fault, coz the network driver modules are part of the linux
kernel. Perhaps you should just compile your own kernel.
It could just be a loose cable or something :)

Hello,
I want to install smbprint to be able to print to a shared printer on a

to compile myself?
Thanks.
