known Bug in Nvidia drivers HELP ( lost or de;eted messages pertaining to "fix")
by jfweber＠eternal.net 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

*******Where does a newborn go from here? The net is vast , and infinite********* A while ago there was quite a discusion of the bug in the nviea drivers , at least ass far as the current implimentation. And the reletively painless solution ( a download w/ online update) All the messages pertaining to htis were either loast when sircan bit the other box .. OR they were deleted ( less likely I hang onto almost everything that is a solution for reletively nasty happenings, if for no ohter reason than to pass them on to some other user bit by the same problem) anyway, if anyone has hte solution or remembers it and would prefer to reply off list I'd realy appreciate it Blondely, afterthought: Who you callin' "argumentative", Bucko?

Need help with ppp script
by J-Scott＠t-online.de 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

I have a ppp script that I've been using for ages to dial into my isp over ttyS0. I upgraded from SuSE 7.0 to 7.2 and now the script dies when ever there is net activity. It runs in demand mode. When I try to connect from another PC or ping from that terminal I get this: CONNECT 64000 HDLC/PPP Carrier detected. Chatmode finished. Serial connection established. transfer_ppp failed: wanted unit 0, got 1 Exit. I think there is something else going on with ppp as well since I also keep getting the error: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-108 /etc/modules.conf contains: alias char-major-108 ppp_async One more wierd thing: I can execute wvdial and connect and surf. If I execute wvdial.dod, net traffic kills it. I have absolutely no idea what's going on with this. Yesterday my script worked fine and now... Any ideas? John

The files in misc are for the alsa modules. In order to provide the same support in 2.4.7, you need to grab the alsa driver, libs, and utilities from the www.alsa-project.org site and install them. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Bruce S.

Live eval, dos & braille
by Vagn Bjørno Jensen 29 Jul '01

Is it possible to run the Live File Evalulation System from DOS 6.22? And does it come with full Braille support, like the "ordinary" SuSE? Regards Vagn Bjørno Jensen
