[S.u.S.E. Linux] soundcard question
by viktor＠albatros.sch.bme.hu 30 Mar '98

30 Mar '98

Hi, I have my soundcard driver as a module in the kernel. Whenever the kerneld loads the module, then all volume levels are set to "default" value. I wonder if I can alter this default value somehow, or not. If there is anyone, who can help me, I would be very thankful.

Hi, Can somebody tell me which files or packages I need in order to successfully use my Mystique 220 with SuSE Linux 5.0? I am absolutely stumped by X and the whole idea of packages, so any help will be greatly appreciated. -- Richard <A HREF="http://platinum.ch.ic.ac.uk/richard"><A HREF="http://platinum.ch.ic.ac.uk/richard</A">http://platinum.ch.ic.ac.uk/richard</A</A>> -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

In SuSE these files are in /usr/lib/termcap. For some reason the autoconf script doesn't realize this.. olaris puts 'em in /usr/ccs/lib/libtermcap.a BSDi puts them in /usr/lib/libtermcap.a Anyway, i found the SH_LIB Makefile variable and just tacked /usr/lib/termcap to the end of it. This isn't really a geneeral fix for vim, but it does work for SuSE. It is of course, ironic, as /usr/lib/termcap/libtermcap.so is a link to /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2 :-) .. When you can't find something, it's probably under your nose. -josh -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] Win 32 & Linux
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 30 Mar '98

Zentra, You say that people tend to migrate over to Linux based applications. I have noticed that Mathematica and WordPerfect are available for Linux. I don't know how well they are selling. I'm expect that it is a bit of a social deviance to use software that you actually buy in the Linux community. On the other hand, if Linux were to become as easy to use as 95/NT for the uninitiated, and Linux were capable of running software that people already have invested money in, there would likely be a mass migration from M$ OSs to Linux. As far as running standard Win32 software on intel platforms goes, there is no need for emulating the CPU as is done with a Sparc. All that needs to be done is to emulate the Win32 API. I am not a stellar programmer, so that "all" could be a lot more than I am making it sound like. The main reason that I bring this up is not to dismiss the programming effort required, but to observe that the intel based Win32 programs should perform at least as well under Linux as under M$ OSs.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] ppp/enet routing difficulties?
by mgx＠spruce.lsd.ornl.gov 30 Mar '98

30 Mar '98

good day all ... i'm still making progess. it appears that routing gets confused when i try and run ppp. this box has both an internal modem and and internal ethernet interface. the ethernet interface configured nicely with yast, but i cannot seem to get the ethernet interface to unconfigure itself when i need to use ppp instead. what should /etc/rc.config and /etc/rc.d/network look like for a box with both modem/ppp interface and ethernet interface? thanks! -- -- michael -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
