Trying to get my Rev A iMac running Woody properly gave me a headache so I took a week off to paint the house.
Then I used 'tasksel' to install the basic X desktop so that I could get my HP DeskJet 840C printer working. Another nightmare! KDE took over completely so I had to remove it, and xdm, and gdm. My modem refuses to work. It is possible that some of the modules I have loaded in the kernel are incompatible. lsmod gives me this:- Module Size Used by Not tainted serial 53224 0 (autoclean) isa-pnp 36968 0 (autoclean) [serial] lp 7936 0 (autoclean) parport 30624 0 (autoclean) [lp] usb-storage 47368 0 (unused) printer 6768 0 hid 21124 0 (unused) dmasound_pmac 47114 0 (unused) dmasound_core 13640 0 [dmasound_pmac] soundcore 4840 0 [dmasound_core] irtty 7232 0 (unused) irda 108484 0 [irtty] macserial 39364 0 i2c-dev 4756 0 (unused) i2c-core 14776 0 [dmasound_pmac i2c-dev] rtc 1792 0 (autoclean) ============================================== I have used pppconfig, wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf, I have looked at /etc/ppp/peers/provider and /etc/chatscripts/provider. None of it makes the modem work. The modem is on /dev/ttyS0. Interestingly wvdialconf used to be able to find the modem on /dev/ttyS0 even if it could not make it work. After installing X and sorting that mess out wvdialconf can't even find the modem. I have written up everything I have done to make my iMac work and it has turned into a 10 page manual so I can easily trash everything and start the install again from the beginning if I have to. So, if anyone can tell me step-by-step what I do to get the modem working that would be good. Dave Turner
