Etch vs. Sarge/bpo on FW/Router

2006-12-18 Thread Erhard Schultchen
Greetings, I am planning to upgrade our department's router/firewall running Debian/sarge with some fancy GBit NICs (Intel GT). From my first tests I noticed that the e1000 module from linux-2.6.8 does not recognize the new card, however KNOPPIX with a 2.6.17 does. So its time for a kernel upg

2004-08-04 Thread Erhard Schultchen
Hi, I switched from linux 2.4 to 2.6 some months ago. AFAIK, 2.6's module-init-tools use /etc/modprobe.d for module information such as aliases. The manpage ( 5 modprobe.conf) also mentions the /lib/modules/modprobe.conf file, wich (among others) the alsa init script depends on. However, I am not

Hi folks, I know this is a very-FAQ, but I still can't get it working. Environment: Debian/Sid with gnome2. 14" TFT-Display at 1024x768 and X set to 100dpi res. Problem: font sizes in gtk1.2+ applications (sylpheed, openoffice, gimp) are ridicously large (measured about 6mm) Already tried: For
