Re: XFree86 Configuration for HP Pavilion ze4600

2004-06-30 Thread Aurelien ANTOINE
i have a ze4400, i thinks it's the same ati card
(ATI mobility U1 / IGP 320M)
on Sid with xfree 4.3, vesa driver have to work.
you can also try these solutions:
http://rzr.online.fr/docs/comp/gfxcard.htm
the 3D enable solution is quite complicate (you have to recompilate),
but for accelaration in 2D, you just have to download some driver and 
change the config file.
exemple and driver -> http://rzr.online.fr/docs/comp/

Hi List,
I am using debian 3.0 on my hp pavilion ze4600 laptop (which has an  ATI 
MOBILITY RADEON 4X AGP card.). I am unable to get the X server to run, I get 
an error message that it couldnt find a screen.
I was wondering if someone on this list has a HP Pavilion running under debian 
and would be willing to send me a working XFree86 confuguration file?

Thanks
Peter

With Alsa, during initialisation, the volume is set on "mute".
That's why you can't hear anything.
try to launch an alsa mixer.

Re: PCMCIA WiFi cards?

2004-05-18 Thread Aurelien ANTOINE
these drivers (cards) are great.
http://prism54.org/supported_cards.php
(i have a wg511 not expensive and works well)
you can try http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/
(i've try it with a dlink card (Broadcom 94306), never work but ... )
for Atheros card,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/
seems to work well.

Googling around it seems there is quite a bit of information that is 2
to 3 years old.  

What is the state of the current offerings vs. some of the older cards?  
Is there a site that I've yet to find that gives comprehensive 
information on the currently available cards.  I know that the
manufacturers seem to change chipsets and models almost on a weekly
basis, so is there any hope of purchasing a new card and having it work
reliably in 2.4.2x?  I would prefer a current card supported by a GPL
driver rather than a hack using a proprietary one.  Is this possible?

If I must search for an older card, I can do that as well.  I would
rather purchase one new with a warranty, etc.  What vendors would you
recommend?
Perhaps I am just behind the curve and all this is really a non-issue,
but I am finding a dearth of current information on this topic.
