Re: no sound with kernel 2.4.2
Hi I've the same problem with Opl3sa2 and kernel 2.4.2. I have seen threads about that in the kernel mailing list. Currently I use alsa which works great and is certainly a good solution. IMHO the OSS ccode in the kernel are going to be replaced by alsa. Christophe On jeu, 15 mar 2001 19:16:09 Philipp Bliedung wrote: > Hi everybody, > > I just compiled the 2.4.2 kernel.

[Fwd: Sound problem with NEC Versa VXi]
Hi, I got a NEC Versa VXi 750. All are running fine under Debian (Testing) except sound The chipset sound is an Intel 82440MX. My kernel is a 2.4.2 and I use the Intel ICH driver. The sound driver works but the result is bad. It only supports stereo and 48000 Hz. When I listen mp3 files, all the files with a kbps < 128 are playing treeble When I play video, the sound is playing by fits and starts And sometimes, I receive "DMA overrun on send" Can I have a better result with other drivers like ALSA or OSS?? Thx in advance

When you insert a pcmcia card with no default gateway, and for example "NETWORK=192.168.2.0", you get a network route like this (netstat -rn): Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 In this way, only the packets going to 192.168.2.0 net are routed to this interface. > At approximately line 125 there is: > test "$GATEWAY" && /sbin/route add default gw $GATEWAY metric 1 > I have modified that into two lines as follows: > > test "$GATEWAY" && test "$NETWORK" $$ /sbin/route add $NETWORK gw > $GATEWAY metric 2 > test "$GATEWAY" && test !

Xfree86 4.0.2 and external monitor
Hi! I have a Dell Inspiron 8000 running Debian potato. I installed 4.0.2 and have the LCD panel running X great, but I have an external monitor hooked up thru a docking station which doesn't work. I have plenty of video memory, but apparently the r128 driver I am using can't drive the external monitor. Is there anyone else in my situation that has already resolved this, or anyone with advice?

Yes, with 4.0.2 my Latitude doesn't work while docked either. I have a mach64 chip, not the r128, but same result. I solved my problem by using XFree 4.0.1.

Compaq Laptops and their Hard Drives
I have a Compaq Presario 1640 laptop that happily ran Linux in a dual-boot situation for the last year and a half. Recently the hard drive failed and, once it was replaced, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to reclaim some disk space and reinstall only Linux. Unfortunately, Compaq does some wierd proprietary partitioning things to the hard drive and BIOS so that any installation of just Linux leaves me with a working copy that will give all sorts of write past sector and data corruption errors. Compaq is less than forthcoming about how to overcome this. So, has anyone had success installing Linux on a Compaq laptop? If so, how did you overcome the partition issue? Thanks, Roger Shaffer Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Compaq Laptops and their Hard Drives
Roger, I have an Armada E500 PII 400, and I have just Debian on it. Although I am fighting the USB port under 2.4.2, I have no issues. I used to run RH7 on it, but have opted for a more stream lined release 2.2r7. I used both Disk Druid (no comments), and fdisk. Both seem to work flawlessly. I have also replaced the original drive, with a larger unit. This too worked out of the box. I would like to see some of the error msgs if you could post them. Are you getting any signal 7 errors or anything of the sort?

Leave it either off or on, but then *never* change it again. Whilst you are in the BIOS turn off PNP OS. :) If you still run into problems type (as root) in a console (in the debian install screen press Ctrl-Alt-F2) fdisk /dev/hda then delete *everything*, return to the debian install menu (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and continue as normal.

Re: Compaq Laptops and their Hard Drives
John, Thanks for the quick response. The most consistent errors show up when using apt-get or dselect. The important database files like /var/lib/dpkg/available and /var/cache/apt/available become corrupted with strange characters. In addition, I will also occasionally see the error "trying to write past last sector". I don't remember any numbers associated with the error messages, but I'll keep a closer eye on it. I did notice, while researching this, that circa 1640 laptops had a normal hda1 (sectors 3-whatever) partition where Windows lived and a hidden hda3 (sectors 1-2) partition where the system save is kept. I think it has something to do with this mysterious hda3. I'll run it some more and see if I can get some more specific errors. Thanks, Rog Alexander, I did play with the LBA option a long time ago, but it's been set on DOS for a while now. Since I rerestored Windows (ugh) to try to recreate the mysterious hda3. I'll try running the installation again, following the hints you gave. Thanks a lot I'll keep you posted.

I'll go back and review it again. But when I had no GATEWAY defined and a NETWORK defined, I got the wrong routing table. Part of the problem is that I already have a default gateway defined on another interface on this machine. This particular box is not an end computer but a router box between four networks.

Can someone give me a 10 second tour on this? I am not sure what the flag for ip_forwarding quite means. I know the concept and the echo "1" >/proc I don't remember quite where it echoes to, but that's Debians job, right? Does ip_forward=yes simply set this echo "1" >/proc... to be enabled?

[Fwd: Sound problem with NEC Versa VXi]
Hi, I got a NEC Versa VXi 750. All are running fine under Debian (Testing) except sound The chipset sound is an Intel 82440MX. My kernel is a 2.4.2 and I use the Intel ICH driver. The sound driver works but the result is bad. It only supports stereo and 48000 Hz. When I listen mp3 files, all the files with a kbps < 128 are playing treeble When I play video, the sound is playing by fits and starts And sometimes, I receive "DMA overrun on send" Can I have a better result with other drivers like ALSA or OSS??

Xfree86 4.0.2 and external monitor

I have plenty of video memory, but apparently the r128 driver I am using can't drive the external monitor. Is there anyone else in my situation that has already resolved this, or anyone with advice?

Compaq Laptops and their Hard Drives
I have a Compaq Presario 1640 laptop that happily ran Linux in a dual-boot situation for the last year and a half. Recently the hard drive failed and, once it was replaced, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to reclaim some disk space and reinstall only Linux. Unfortunately, Compaq does some wierd proprietary partitioning things to the hard drive and BIOS so that any installation of just Linux leaves me with a working copy that will give all sorts of write past sector and data corruption errors. Compaq is less than forthcoming about how to overcome this. So, has anyone had success installing Linux on a Compaq laptop? If so, how did you overcome the partition issue?

Re: Compaq Laptops and their Hard Drives
Roger, I have an Armada E500 PII 400, and I have just Debian on it. Although I am fighting the USB port under 2.4.2, I have no issues. I used to run RH7 on it, but have opted for a more stream lined release 2.2r7. I used both Disk Druid (no comments), and fdisk. Both seem to work flawlessly. I have also replaced the original drive, with a larger unit. This too worked out of the box. I would like to see some of the error msgs if you could post them.

Leave it either off or on, but then *never* change it again. Whilst you are in the BIOS turn off PNP OS. :) If you still run into problems type (as root) in a console (in the debian install screen press Ctrl-Alt-F2) fdisk /dev/hda then delete *everything*, return to the debian install menu (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and continue as normal.

Re: Compaq Laptops and their Hard Drives
John, Thanks for the quick response. The most consistent errors show up when using apt-get or dselect. The important database files like /var/lib/dpkg/available and /var/cache/apt/available become corrupted with strange characters. In addition, I will also occasionally see the error "trying to write past last sector". I don't remember any numbers associated with the error messages, but I'll keep a closer eye on it. I did notice, while researching this, that circa 1640 laptops had a normal hda1 (sectors 3-whatever) partition where Windows lived and a hidden hda3 (sectors 1-2) partition where the system save is kept. I think it has something to do with this mysterious hda3. I'll run it some more and see if I can get some more specific errors. Thanks, Rog Alexander, I did play with the LBA option a long time ago, but it's been set on DOS for a while now. Since I rerestored Windows (ugh) to try to recreate the mysterious hda3. I'll try running the installation again, following the hints you gave. Thanks a lot I'll keep you posted.

Re: toshiba satellite 100cs & suspend to disk?
I have a Satellite 2595cdt and suspend to disk worked for me, and it should work for all Toshiba laptops with the debian package toshutils. Just install it, and then run modconf to make sure the module toshiba is loaded, then run wmtuxtime. It opens a small window (or maybe docks into the panel if you run Windowmaker). At the bottom of the window there are 4 buttons. The second from the left causes suspend to disk. The other buttons didn't do anything when I tried them. I also didnt find the dialog where you're supposed to be able to set the apm settings. That module always set the sleep time for display and harddrive to 3 minutes and I suspect it set the CPU processing speed to low without telling me. So I uninstalled that package. But I'd like to use suspend to disk, so if anyone here can tell me how to make that package work the way I want it I'd be glad to reinstall it.
