NVidia GeForce 2 MX400 PCI
by Lion Queen 05 Mar '02

Still having trouble with my GeForce2 MX400 PCI video board. Here are the symptoms. I try a full install of Suse 7.2 (also tried my old version of RedHat 6.1) and I get a message at boot that the video board is recognized and it seems to get everything right. The first install screen comes up and I choose the full install. A little sub window comes up showing the kernal loading and then black screen, nothing at all. I am getting a signal to the monitor because the green light stays on and the yellow blinking never occurs. I have waited up to 15 minutes, thinking that it's just working, but screen is still black. I also can't seem to press any keys that get me to something resembling a prompt. Why is this happening and is there something I can do to fix the problem? Maybe something in the BIOS. I have tried every list I can find and help site, but can't find any answers. Thanks in advance Andy _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Apache will not start...
by Christoph Starkmann 04 Mar '02

04 Mar '02

Hi! I guess that this is not quite the appropriate list, but the only SuSE-list I'm subscribed to right now. Perhaps someone can give me a hint... I was trying to install Typo3 (WCMS) and therefor ImageMagick, GDLib and Freetype. After having some problems it seems as if I have smashed the apache webserver... BUT the only errormessage I get is while booting a plain "failed". Can I get further information on what is wrong somewhere in my system? I'd really like to fix this. I already tried to uninstall and then reinstall Apache, to no extend. I reinstalled manually from the sources(config, make, make install) as well as with the package manager... I do not really want to reinstall the entire system ;| Cheers and thanxalot, Kiko ----- It's not a bug, it's a feature. christoph starkmann mailto:kiko@nfq.de http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~kiko ICQ: 100601600 -----

Help with ALSA
by Peter Cheney 04 Mar '02

04 Mar '02

Greetings all, Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or show me what to do to get sound to work using the ALSA driver? I play CD or MP3 via XMMS and no output. Searched for "sound' on sus.com and found article titled "Installing a soundsystems from scratch" and followed this with no problems. Sound on my workstation works OK with W2k and RHL7.3 but I have decided on SuSE 7.3pro due to more multi-media options. Harware detection of sound card (Intel 820) during install was OK. Here is last part of modules.conf: -- options snd-card-intel8x0 snd_index=0 alias char-major-14 off # Alsa sound support. # Warning: please don't modify comments over aliases 'snd-card-#' alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_cards_limit=1 snd_major=116 # W60f.Kwq_E7BMZmF:82820 820 (Camino 2) Chipset AC'97 Audio Controller alias snd-card-0 snd-card-intel8x0 # YaST2: sound system dependent part # alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-11 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss -- I can delete/add the card in YaST2 and no errros. When configure sound in KDE Config, changing from "Auto Detect" to ALSA and stop/start the sound daemon I get a thump in the speakers. All help and comments would be greatly appreciated.

HELP! I've destoyed sound capabilities
by Saimon Moore 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Hi, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to sound in linux. I have Suse 7.1 running and for a long time the sound was fine (It had been correctly configured during installation. But one day I decided to install a divX player which need updated SDL libraries. I promptly downloaded and type rpm -i SDL....rpm (i.e. newbie pressed the wrong button ;) Big mistake..I should have updated it.. (now I know ;) Ever since then, the sound on my system has completely dissapeared and I'm at a complete loss. I've looked at the sound howto but from what it says I'm missing the the sound module in the kernel, but if it had been working prior to my 'mistake' the the sound module should be there. This is the boot message... Starting sound driver: snd-card-ens1371 done Starting sound driver: off done Starting sound driver: off done but cat /dev/sndstat (As per the howto) returns.... cat: /dev/sndstat: No such device I really have no clue what to do and I don't want to re-install Suse because I have lot's of things setup that might be lost. I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could suggest what I might do to find the cause of my problem and how I might go about fixing it. The howto doesn't seem to cover this.
