[SuSE Linux] Yahoo!!! My SiS6326 is working.

Well, By hook or crook I got my onboard AGP SiS6326 working. The following is for you Samy, my steps to do it. I hope you get yours working. I had some trouble: 1. The first time I downloaded the new xf86-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm it didn't work. I downloaded it a second time, and the second time it worked. Reasons? I don't know. They were 2 different sizes, differing by about 100k. One came from the SuSe update directory, the other from the plain Xfree333 update directory. Also, I was downloading with win95, maybe that did something. :-) Who knows?, I don't care, I have a working one, and I ain't gonna go messing around with it. :-) My steps: 1. Download the following from SuSe: sax-1_2-11_i386.rpm xextra-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xf86-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xfnt100-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xfntbig-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xfntscl-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xfsetup-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xlist xman-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xpm-3_4j-16_i386.rpm xshared-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xsvga-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xvga16-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm xxprt-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm 2. install them with rpm -U file.rpm I had to force a couple with rpm -U --force file.rpm. 3. I don't know if it makes a difference in what order you install them. I put xf86-3_3_3-3_i386.rpm in last, since it was troublesome as mentioned above. 4. run sax, and let it do it's autoprobe. It creates a working server but the mouse is a big square, and the fonts didn't show up. So run sax a second time, using the original XF86config as default. Make sure your keyboard and mouse are properly set, mine were not. My 2 button mouse was listed as 3 button, and my 101 keyboard was listed as 103. Also under the expert tab for card selection, in server options, highlight "no bitblt" and "sw_cursor". Save it, and run it. Good luck. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] PPP
by irisinc＠alaska.net 15 Dec '98

15 Dec '98

Hi! I'm a newbie to Linux but not to computers. I started with a 8088 in 1987. I have purchased three boxes from various manufacturers and I built the last two, Pentium II's, 333 and 400 MgH. After years with DOS and Windoz I saw a box with Red Hat and decided to learn Linux. Didn't get far with Red Hat before I noticed an advertisement for SUSE. Purchased 5.3 and Applix Office Solutions. I am a retired Airline Transport Pilot (40 years), and have attended many schools for different types of aircraft over the years. I know quite a bit about the learning process and how to convey knowledge from one person to another. If the aircraft operating manuals were as arcane as the Linux literature, there would be piles of Aluminum intersped with body parts and various colors of fluids at the end of each runway in the world.

by rawdesign.sat＠get2net.dk 15 Dec '98

15 Dec '98

Hi There I have tryed for the last two weeks, to get my 3Com network interface card to work with Samba Server... but without any luck. It seens like at can't "ping" the interface from another machine (Win98, Win95, WinNT and Mac). But it's okay from the machine itself. I am using 3c59x as a driver. System tells me that the card is working okay, when i look in the log files. But i do get some error about socket address 0.0.0.0 port 139 already used. Machine hardware: CPU: Intel 400Mhz Motherboard: ASUS P2B Network Interface: 3Com Fast Etherlink XL 10/100Mb TX Ethernet NIC (3C905B-TX) I am new at this Linux thing.... so please help me.
