[SuSE Linux] Kernel2.2.1 sound setup is awful
by zentara＠mindspring.com 28 Feb '99

28 Feb '99

Hi, Way back when I started with Linux, I thought setting up awe32 sound on a 2.0.* was a real hard task. I finally master how to do it, and it ran fine. Easy...insmod sound...rmmod sound. Now all of a sudden, in the new 2.2.* kernels, the "easy" OSSFREE drivers are forced on us. I just went thru the sound docs and to get the damn thing to work I need these commands insmod soundcore insmod soundlow insmod sound insmod uart401 insmod sb and I have to specify module parameters in conf.modules. And there are just as many to remove them. What's even worse...it sounds like CRAP. How do you get rid of the OSS SOUND being forced upon you in make menuconfig? Is this some clever ploy by OSS to force everyone to buy their drivers? This should be fixed. - 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 archive 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] YaST
by python＠mail10.calypso.net 28 Feb '99

28 Feb '99

Hi! I have some difficulties whith YaST. For me, YaST feels a little awkward to work whith, but I guess I`ll "grow into it" eventually. For now, my problem is that I somehow messed the package configuration up, so that whenever I install/remove a package, and make a dependencies check, I get a long list of packages whith the message: "Search for installed or ready to be installed packages whose dependencies are NOT given!.." The list contains packages that are not installed on my system, but that YaST seems to be 'missing'. If I choose to ignore and press 'continue' my choices will be installed/removed, and the above mentioned packages will be left alone.... Til next time.....:-) How can I resolv this, and get YaST to quit nagging me about stuff that I don`t want to install...?? /Regards ---------------------------------- E-Mail: python(a)mail10.calypso.net URL: <A HREF="http://www10.calypso.net/ci-101635/"><A HREF="http://www10.calypso.net/ci-101635/</A">http://www10.calypso.net/ci-101635/</A</A>> Date: 28-Feb-99 Time: 11:12:41 This message was sent by XFMail, Powered by SuSE 6.0 ---------------------------------- - 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 archive 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] Caps/Ctrl swap
by paulf＠quillandmouse.com 28 Feb '99

28 Feb '99

I'm sure this has been talked about before, but I'll ask anyway. Doesn't appear to be in the support db. Emacs is a real pain when the ctrl key is way down in the lower left of the keyboard. Some users swap it to where the shift key is, but I don't know how to do this. Can it be done temporarily, or must it be done permanently? Assume SuSE 5.3. I use console apps mostly, but advice on changing this in X might be helpful as well. Paul M.

[SuSE Linux] Printer quality too good under Linux

Help!!! My HP660C prints the most awesome print under Linux. I would like to have it print low quality, like Windows (low quality is much faster). Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

[SuSE Linux] Attempt to Install SuSE 5.3
by jpg＠hpcvsjpg.cv.hp.com 28 Feb '99

28 Feb '99

I seem to have run into a small problem in attempting to install SuSe 5.3 on a Hewlett Packard OmniBook 5700CTX. I have a Xircom PCMCIA 10/100-Ready network card, and the standard HP CD-ROM and 3.5 floppy drive modules. When I boot using the SuSE boot floppy in the 3.5 drive, the kernel doesn't recognize the CD-ROM because it was not installed since I was using the 3.5 floppy drive. Secondly the Xircom PCMCIA card is not in the list of supported network cards. There is a '-- More modules --' option but that just pulls in the same list of kernel modules. There is nothing in the SuSE manual about what this '-- More modules --' option is, or how to utilize it. So I am stuck, I cannot install from CD-ROM because the kernel doesn't see it at boot time (since it is not plugged in), and I cannot install over the network since there is no Xircom module. Any suggestions?

Re: [SuSE Linux] A working awe32 setup
by jpph＠multimania.com 28 Feb '99

28 Feb '99

I confirm your setup. I have also a awe64 pnp and work fine with your setup. As it seems that a lot of people has some problems with it, I am very happy that someone else can use his sb64. Just an other point : if you have compiled your kernel with "kernel module auto-load" , you do not need the modprobe sb, but you still need the insmod awe_wave. If there is someone reading this message and who can not make his sb awe64 sound card working, feel free to ask me ( or zentara ;-) ): your dound blaster must work ( and for free, do not pay for other drivers).

[SuSE Linux] PCI modem configuration
by yatsen-ng＠cistron.nl 28 Feb '99

I have an E-Tech PCI 56k internal modem which I'm trying to configure. I used minicom to create a configuration file. I set the serial device to /dev/ttyS2 since my modem is on the third serial port. The speed is set to 115200bps (Baud/Par/Bits: 115200 8N1). I saved the setup as default and tried to test my modem. I didn't get an OK prompt in the terminal. Oh yes, I also set the modem to the correct port with YaST during the installation.
