TV tuner cards
by Brian Marr 17 Mar '02

17 Mar '02

Suse 7.1 kernel 2.4.17 Can anyone suggest a well supported TV tuner card for Linux ? I have been told that Brooktrout is the chip that I need. Also I am wondering what are the issues involved in setting up a PC for TV and Internet in the Lounge ? I would like to set up a Linux box with perhaps a large monitor but am not sure if it is feasable. A cordless keyboard would be good. Are these supported under Linux ? Thanks Brian Marr

Has anyone any ideas on setting this ancient sound card up on 7.3? If there's a module I can use, I like to hear about it. Thanks. ---Jim

My 3dfx voodoo3 2000 AGP will not support quake3 and return to castle wolfenstein as it did in mandrake 8.1. It will run chromium and tux racer, but i dont want to play those. below it a dump of what 3Ddiag reports, I have tried as root also and no luck. Please help a new linux user out.

Sblive! 5.1 Digital output

I can't get ant sound frpm the speakers. They are connected via an Dolby Digital amplifier. In windows I solved the problem with an x-sign in a square marked "Digital output only". How can I do that in SuSe Linux 7.3? Sincerly Karl Påhlsson

Thamks OLI and Ron! Ron, You said >Specify that a non-root user can mount the drive in /etc/fstab, like so: >/dev/hdd4 � � � /zip � �auto � �noauto,user 0 0 but its already like this; what I could do was to change 'auto' in 'hfs'; so I got two entries /dev/sda4 /zip auto noauto,user 0 0 and /dev/sda4 /zip hfs noauto,user 0 0 but this works only if I am a root user. OLI I tried while adding /dev/sda5 /zip hfs noauto,user 0 0 but of course it says that sda5 is a non valid device (and present in /dev as sda4 - I know that I have to use mknod in some way, but up to now, no success... sic!) Anyway, thx a lot! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo! Mail - the world's greatest free email! http://mail.yahoo.com/

Zip drive and HFS

Does anybody know how to access/mount a zip drive (in hfs format) when in non-root status (i.e. as a normal user)? Currently I have to switch to root ('su root'), but its quite boring, as I'm not the only user of my linux box, and I don't want that other can do damages! Thx in advance, Luca __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo! Mail - the world's greatest free email! http://mail.yahoo.com/

[AUDiO] Rebirth Player somewhere?
by Oliver Ob 08 Mar '02

Locations: ========== www.propellerheads.se www.steinberg.de Program: ======== ReBirth 338 1.0 ReBirth 338 2.0+ Question: ========= I have searched the entire Propellerheads' homepage and other sources. I have exchanged mails with M.Zetterquist, one of the programmers and still do. I need a KDE (or even better: CONSOLE) player for the audio RB format, I was able to locate format descriptions on the above pages, but even the programmers do not know of a Rebirth Format player (.RBS file ext) under Linux environment. ("devzone" on the HP above) Now the ?: Is there any of you capable of programming such a thing? Maybe you know one of that kind. Please PM me, I am in contact with Propheads for Linux support anyway. So far I have found similar analogue synth programs for Linux, but none of those I know does support the ingenious .RBS Format.

XFree86-4.2.0
by Tony Jones 06 Mar '02

Does anyone have any idea on when SuSE will, if ever, put XFree86-4.2.0 on their online update? Also, I use online update on a 56k and it seems to take upwards of 30 minutes to download the patch definitions. any ideas on how to speed that up? I use SuSE 7.3, 333mhz, GeForce MX 400 64MB, 352MB RAM. Tony Jones

Thanks for all the great feedback. Wasn't sure I'd have to recompile the kernel or since it is a Microsoft product there would be some kind of incompatibility issue. Cheers!
