Linux should see this as taking up one of your ports i.e. com 1/2
try using Kppp click the setup button and select the Device tab then select the Modem device should be something like /dev/modem
then select modem tab and query modem button.
if this fails keep trying with different modem device settings...
No , it doesn t take any ports, thas why i cant configure it - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
I just put an ati exspert@work agp video card in my computer. Do I used the mach64 xservers to get the xwin going. I thought that I had read this on the list here somewhere. This is an 8 mb card, its fast under windows an graphics look great. I would recommend it to anyone as a good agp video card. <BR> <BR> <BR> jack<BR> <BIG>Jack Malone<BR> HORIZONS INDUSTRIES<BR> East Texas Lighthouse for the Blind<BR> </BIG>jack@malone.tyler.com<BR> 903-595-3444<BR> <BR> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e<BR>

Hi Jack, So you bought one eventually then ;-) Yes, the mach64 server is the right one for the card. It's just as good under Linux too!

I've got an ATI Xpert@play on SuSE 5.3 (XFree 3.3.2.3), I'm using the XF86_Mach64 server, and KDE as my desktop. The ATI doesn't look too great to me. I get frequent screen glitches (scrambled windows) and most annoying of all when the screensaver kicks in there is a huge white vertical rectangle stuck on top of it with the top of the rectangle positioned just where the mouse pointer is hiding. It isn't affected by my having sw_cursor enabled or disabled in XF86Config. I am running a 1024x768 interlaced display (8514/A compatible monitor) BTW the graphics card lives on an AOpen AX59pro motherboard (Super Socket 7, AGP) Why am I having these problems and there's no mention of similar problems on any newsgroups or mailing lists I've looked at?

I don't know, but I've never seen anything like you describe here. Did you set up your X server with SaX? When I upgraded to 5.3 I tried SaX and it set me up with a screen that had a slight distortion along the top edge. I replaced my XF86Config with the file that I'd been using under 5.2 (created with XF86Setup) and everything was fine again. If you'd like a copy of my XF86Config, drop me a line.

I don't see what could be wrong with my XF86Config file. Here's the short version: Section "Monitor" HorizSync 31.5, 35.5 VertRefresh 50-90 Modeline "1024x768" 44.9 1024 1044 1204 1264 768 776 784 817 Interlace EndSection ...which has adjusted timings courtesy of xvidtune (kvidtune dies with an immediate segmentation fault on my system) Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Xpert@Play PCI and AGP, 3D Rage Pro" VendorName "Unknown" BoardName "Unknown" EndSection and (omitting the modes I don't use) Section "Screen" Driver "accel" Device "ATI Xpert@Play PCI and AGP, 3D Rage Pro" Monitor "Sampo 8514 compatible" Subsection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "1024x768" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 Virtual 1024 768 EndSubsection EndSection Am I missing some chipset settings or something? The documentation says to leave that stuff out, its all autodetected. My hunch is that the screensaver cursor rectangle thing is related to some hardware issue pertaining to the VIA MVP3 chipset, maybe something to do with AGP. BTW, SaX didn't work properly with my monitor; it doesn't let you specify interlaced modes. Regards, Ralph Philip Stokes wrote:

Possibly. I'd hesitate to say that it's the ATI card itself, unless it's faulty, since I've had such good results with it both under Linux and Windoze. I notice that your Monitor and Device sections differ substantially from mine, e.g. no Primary Card and Primary Monitor identifiers. In particular, your monitor is specified in the Screen section, but there's nothing in the Monitor section to tie that to the same identifier. I don't know if that would make a difference, but it looks to me reading through my file that the Primary Monitor reference in the Screen section should cause the X Server to look for the Primary Monitor identifier in the Monitor section and read the configuration from there. If there's nothing to tie the two sections together then I guess your monitor settings could be being ignored. Have you looked through ~/.X.err for any obvious problem reports?
