[SuSE Linux] re. CS4232 sound card
by ggriffin＠mines.edu 21 Mar '99

21 Mar '99

Hi- Thanks to the folks who sent me suggestion on how to get my sound card working. I finally gave up on trying to configure it using isapnp. I found that if I compiled the sound support directly into the kernel instead of doing it as a module I was presented with an opportunity to directly assign the IO ports and irq in the kernel configuration menu. When I rebooted with the new kernel the sound worked just fine. On to the parallel ports and printers.

[SuSE Linux] Mail Question
by skoper＠mediaone.net 21 Mar '99

21 Mar '99

I think I've seen what might be a partial response, but I'm not sure I'm clear on this. I have a home lan connected to the internet via cable modem, through a linux (SuSE 5.3 currently) machine. There are 3 to 4 machines on the lan, all running Windows 95, although some (like this one) are dual boot to OS/2. I want to be able to provide each of my users with their own mailing address. My home network is called "alembic", and the fully qualified domain name (I think that's what it's called) is alembic.ne.mediaone.net. I can receive mail on the Linux machine as skoper(a)alembic.ne.mediaone.net, and one of my users, eak(a)alembic.ne.mediaone.net can also receive mail there. So, how do I get the mail from the linux box to the individual users (who may be running netscape mail, or outlook express, or eudora, or PMMail on OS/2, or even Lotus Notes? Thanks in advance. -- 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] suse-security-announce?
by mcurry＠io.com 20 Mar '99

20 Mar '99

I just subscribed to suse-security-announce a couple of days ago (since that was when I ordered my copy of SuSe 6.0), but was surprised to see a couple of SuSe security alerts on Linux Today while not getting these alerts from the mailing list. Do posts to that list usually lag behind general announcements to places like Linux Today, or do they perhaps get posted to suse-security before being posted to suse-security-announce?

[SuSE Linux] Applying kernel patches
by stevep＠bash.linux-shell.net 20 Mar '99

20 Mar '99

Greetings, Could someone give an example of how to patch, let's say, linux-2.2.2 to .3? (I've been at 2.2.3 from sources, but I want to get ready to patch .3 to get to .4 when it comes out.) In my case, I setup /usr/src/linux-2.2.2 and symlinked to linux. The patch file(patch-2.2.3) is sitting in /usr/src. The kernel howto says to do this from /usr/src: patch -p0 < patch-2.2.3 When I do this, it deviates from the howto and asks for the file to patch!!? I am lost as to what to do now. From other reading, it seems to hint that the patch file needs the absolute path to the code to be patched, but this does not seem reasonable. I must be doing something silly here, so someone please set me straight!! Lost in Houston.

If you want later versions of gnome-core, control-center, and libs check out the link from www.gnome.org for SuSE 6.0. There are updated rpms which bring the core stuff up to 1.03. I just applied them and have noticed a few basic changes in things for the better.

Re: FWD: RE: [SuSE Linux] Matrox G200 card. Opinions needed
by jboonen＠worldonline.nl 20 Mar '99

20 Mar '99

Dear Michael Andersen, I only wanted to tell that the Matrox cards don't have an accelerated server. I don't know how the co-operation is between Matrox and XFree. But i myself don't think there will be chances that there will be a accelerated XFree86 server for the Matrox cards. By the way i know that the Matrox cards are very fast even under a SVGA XFree server. but the thing i'm worried about is. That whenever XFree will support 3 D. That Matrox won't be available with 3 D support under XFree, what do you think? By the way i use both ATI Rage II cards, S3 virage and Matrox mystique cards. To be honest with the applications i use there isn't much of a difference. I'm also using the virtual PC program from www.vmware.com. It works both great under Mach acc en SVGA server with a mystique. I hope i haven't offended people. I'm sorry if i did. Regards, Joop Boonen. Can someone give me some information about firms that produce video chips and who are working closely together with XFree86? I mean basically there is no firm that ports applications to Linux. I've never seen any program of ATI for the TV function for the all in wonder cards or from Matrox for the Rainbow runner etc. Michael Andersen wrote: > >===== Original Message From Michael Andersen <milvus(a)get2net.dk> ===== > Joop Boonen wrote: > > > > Dear Alex, > > > > On this URL you can find information about performance of video cards: > > <A HREF="http://www.tomshardware.com/"><A HREF="http://www.tomshardware.com/</A">http://www.tomshardware.com/</A</A>> , > > <A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/html/reviews.cfm?types=yes"><A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/html/reviews.cfm?types=yes</A">http://www.anandtech.com/html/reviews.cfm?types=yes</A</A>>&TopicTypes=3 . and > > also > > this link <A HREF="http://www.cpureview.com/"><A HREF="http://www.cpureview.com/</A">http://www.cpureview.com/</A</A>> .
