You may have some luck with the TV on your ATI card if you try searching for "gatos" on freshmeat. HTH Brian

Installing XFree 4.02 is a breeze, if you use yast and then install from there updates site. Its under X, then Xfree86. I cannot remember the fully qualified path to it though. Matt On Friday 26 January 2001 08:38 pm, Donald G. Knecht wrote:

i'm trying to change the cpu optimization in the kernel and whenever i build a new kernel boot fails with a "panic" about not being able to mount the root partition..... it says to try "root=" append and that it can't find 03:00 so i tried at boot:linux root=/dev/hda3 and it panic 'ed in the same place also complaining that it couldn't open "hda3" i have reiserfs on this partition, the (yast) installed pentium optimized kernel boots fine.

Seems like you forgot some config options. Af the pentium optimized kernel boots fine, change to /usr/src/linux after having booted and enter 'make cloneconfig'. This will create a kernel configuration matching that of the running kernel. After having done so, fire up 'make menuconfig' and change the configuration to match your needs. BEWARE - for cloneconfig to work as expected, the kernel source has to match the running kernel!

same old problems with sound....yast2,and alsaconf won't set up my cheap sb pci 128 card (es1371) i sent install support a letter on that one.....

Strange, that's exactly the card I have in my machine at work and had no problems with up till now. What I'd do would be to save the part of /etc/modules.conf marked as ALSA setup to another file, then delete that part and then retry with alsaconf. If that doesn't work, put these lines into your modules.conf and it should work: ---------------->8 cut 8<-------------------------- alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ens1371 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=17 snd_device_uid=0 options snd-card-ens1371 snd_index=0 snd_id=SB_128PCI ---------------->8 cut 8<-------------------------- Of course you should first remove all other ALSA-Stuff from modules.conf Philipp -- Philipp Thomas Development, SuSE GmbH, Schanzaecker Str. 10, D-90443 Nuremberg, Germany Penguins shall save the dinosaurs -- Handelsblatt about Linux on S/390
