If you have the ATI Radeon 7500C (M7 chioset) then you definitely need 4.2.0 and I would suggest also getting the 4.2.1 update for completeness. I have the same card and run woody so if you need further help, let me know. In short, what I did was to copy someone else's XF86Config file who's got a 7500 and then remove all the stuff I didn't need and replace it with what the XF86Config.new file contained after doing XFree86 -configure. The relevant sections are: Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Radeon 7500" Driver "radeon" #Option "CrtScreen" VideoRam32768 EndSection Section "Screen" Driver "accel" Device "ATI Radeon 7500" Monitor "Dell generic flat panel" DefaultColorDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection I hope this helps.

Problems with pcmcia/modem
Hi, my pcmcia card (Elsa Modem) doesn't work at boot, I have to take it off and then put it back in the slot to have it working, here is the dmesg that i get for that : cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0800-0x08ff: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x378-0x37f 0x3c0-0x3df 0x4d0-0x4d7 cs: IO port probe 0x0a00-0x0aff: clean. and my /etc/pcmcia/config.opts : include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x800-0x8ff, port 0xc00-0xcff include memory 0xc-0xf include memory 0xa000-0xa0ff, memory 0x6000-0x60ff include port 0xa00-0xaff exclude irq 4 exclude irq 7 Is there something i should add/remove/change ?

Maybe this is stupid, but would you test it? Just after boot, if card doesnt work. Dont unplug it and try to run #/sbin/cardctl eject&&/sbin/cardctl insert Does it work any better after that?

Fwd: Re: Network configuration problems with laptop
This is from a thread on the Libranet users list (Libranet is a Debian-based distribution). The problem is getting a PCMICA network card to work. Upon installation of Debian/Libranet, the option to include PCMCIA is given. If this is accepted, the installation crashes (on a Toshiba Satellite 2545 XCDT) and you cannot install Debian. However, if you perform a non-PCMCIA install, the Debian loads normally, you just aren't able to use the PCMCIA cards. Well, I've loaded Debian, and I'm trying to get the PCMCIA card among the living. I've loaded the pcmcia_cs module manually (and it loads fine) but the network setup won't recognize the kernel module. I've tried a couple of things (see below) but to no avail. Does anyone know what the fundamental problem is? I would happily settle for a work-around that is functional. Thanks in advance, Ron Forwarded Message: > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > From: "Ronald L.

[sorry for the delay] /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 is, or was, generated by the out-dated alsaconf. Unless this package has been updated, it's a bit of a liability, so that file is best hand-written for now, or use alsaconf as a base and fix the errors it has introduced. However, once you've got that config file fixed, it shouldn't get overridden. hth Nyk -- /__ \_|\/ /\

Slow internal 250 ZIP
I have a Dell Inspiron 2500 with an internal 250 ZIP. First I used the ATAPI FLOPPY driver in the kernal, but this is hoplessly slow. My external parallell port 100 ZIP is much faster on my old 166MHz. Copying 80Mb took about 1 hour I think. Now I read somewhere on the net that I should use the imm driver, but this doesn't work. I then made the ide-scsi module and this seems to work. My question is though is this the right module to use? Thanks in advance. -- Preben Randhol http://www.pvv.org/~randhol/ ._.

Problems setting up Netgear FA 511
Hi all, this is the first time I am trying to set up Debian (3.0r0 CDs) on a Toshiba Notebook. Everything went fine except for the Netgear FA 511 Cardbus Network adapter. I tried the pcmcia-cs deb-package that comes with the CDs, I recompiled the pcmcia-cs-sources from the CDs (I compiled kernel 2.4.18 from CD sources and turned PCMCIA off). At last I tried the same with the pcmcia-cs-3.2.1 sources, but I still can't get the card to work. The "Act" light on the card comes on and ifconfig tells me my nw ist configured. But I can't get anything through. Any suggestions?

Toshiba 320CDT
Hi, I am very happy with my Debian v3 k2.4.18 installation on this laptop, the pcmcia works a treat and the apm alworks. The battery seems to last a lot longer in fact, than it ever did with any win32. I have a couple of issues I'd like to resolve, prehaps someone here has already solved them. Display Issue 1 I cannot seem to find a chartacter vga mode which used the whole display, I have tried 'scan' and tried all the different modes, the best for me is 80x25, but it does not use an band at the top and the bottom of the screen. It seems odd as the whole display is used in gfx gui modes. Display Issue 2 Under X, I cannot get a happt res either, I have entered the specs for the screen but other than 640x480 the desktop is bigger then the screen and so lots of scrolling is happening. I would prefer a fixed 600x800 and perhaps switch to a virtual 1024x768 for those dialog boxes which are too big tor 800x600. Below is the backend of the config I am using. Any ideas ?

Re: Toshiba 320CDT
You need to compile your kernel with framebuffer and VGA text mode support. In menuconfig or xconfig under "Console drivers" select "VGA text console" and "Video mode selection support". In "Frame-buffer support" I chose "VESA VGA graphics console", "Advanced low level driver options", and "8 bpp packed pixels support". Everything else I left unselected. Read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt and determine the vga mode you wish to use. You will probably want to use 800x600 at 256 colors, which is mode 0x303. Pass this to the kernel as a boot argument "vga=0x303"; put this in either lilo.conf or menu.lst (grub's data file). I needed to experiment with it for a while; I believe this will get you close, but your hardware is different from mine and you may need to experiment a little too. Good luck! Kevin

Read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt and determine the vga mode you wish to use. You will probably want to use 800x600 at 256 colors, which is mode 0x303. Pass this to the kernel as a boot argument "vga=0x303"; put this in either lilo.conf or menu.lst (grub's data file). I needed to experiment with it for a while; I believe this will get you close, but your hardware is different from mine and you may need to experiment a little too. Good luck!

The Netgear FA511 is a Cardbus 10/100 card for a wired network. It's not a wireless adapter and so the SSID settings, WEP key, etc. don't apply for this card.

Kernel Upgrade Problems - IBM T23
Title: Message Hi I've recently acquired a brand new IBM T23 with no operating system on it. I've been working at getting Debian stabilized as the only OS for this machine. I have several computers and don't foresee a need for a dual OS machine. My problem is, I can install from the 4 ide-pci floppies without problem and get X to work. At this point, I'd like to start installing other modules like pcmcia-cs-3.2.1 to support my Cisco wireless NIC. In order to do this, I need to recompile the kernel so I opted to upgrade to the latest kernel kernel-source-2.4.18 from the debian site. I'm not sure if I'm missing something during the make config ( or actually, I used make xconfig), but it seems as though everything compiles fine and I specified to load the network drivers as modules but upon reboot, I can't manage to get my eth0 interface to DHCP an address. When I configure an IP address on it manually, I can ping local devices so obviously there must be more configuration I need to do when manually specifying an IP. My question is, why am I unable to use DHCP? Do I need pump or something like that? I thought dhcpd would take care of it. Additionally, I specified support for vfat filesystems but my floppy drive still will not mount after reboot. Am I just missing some fundamental things here, as I suspect I am? There's 8 million documents on rebuilding kernels but I've tried a few of them w/ similar results. Any advice/pointers would be greatly appreciated. As you probably can tell by now, I'm no linux guru. I've installed Redhat several times in the past with no problem but RH is a bit more newbie oriented. Any advice? Thanks, Zach

If so, you can configure it for DHCP via /etc/network/interfaces. See the man page on interfaces(5): % man interfaces If eth0 is a PC card, then you can specify to use DHCP when the card is configured by setting DHCP="y" in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts.

RE: Kernel Upgrade Problems - IBM T23
Zane It is the built-in Ethernet interface, I believe Intel EtherPro 100 or some variation. Seems to DHCP fine based off the initial ide-pci minimal install. Which specific config files should I copy when I upgrade my kernel to 2.4.8 and I assume I'll have to recompile the module for 2.4.8 as well? I did try to configure it in interfaces but it seems to not want to dhcp an address so I thought I was missing something. Sorry for the newbie questions, I'm actually pretty good when it comes to routing/switching if you ever need any help there... :) Zach -Original Message- From: Zane Dodson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 13, 2002 12:08 AM To: Zach Bower Cc: debian-laptop@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Kernel Upgrade Problems - IBM T23 On Thu, Sep 12, 2002 at 11:56:14PM -0400, Zach Bower wrote: | I'm not sure if I'm missing something during the make config ( or | actually, I used make xconfig), but it seems as though everything | compiles fine and I specified to load the network drivers as modules | but upon reboot, I can't manage to get my eth0 interface to DHCP an | address.

RE: Toshiba 320CDT
All I have is.. [*] VGA text consolex [*] Video mode selection support kernel_source-2.4.18 I have loeded the same source and built the kernel of 3 different pcs now, 2 pcs and this laptop, I don't think I have ever seen any more then these two options. This is all a bit odd, no ? I cannot fathom, why this would be like it is.

When compiling your own kernel, make sure to set CONFIG_PACKET=y CONFIG_FILTER=y in your kernel's .config. This enables a raw socket that a dhcp client needs to open. See socket (2) (PF_PACK and SOCK_PACK) packet (7) See also /usr/share/doc/dhcp-client/README.gz, section 5.1.2 - PROTOCOL NOT CONFIGURED. I think that will get your DHCP working.
