Port replicator on Gateway 9300

2001-12-11 Thread Darryl L. Pierce

I have a Gateway Solo 9300 and MD-3 port replicator. I'd love to be able
to use the replicator with Linux for something more than a place to
connect the AC adaptor . What is necessary in order to use the video,
mouse and keyboard ports on the replicator?

My system is running woody with a 2.2.19 kernel. I've been unsuccessful
getting 2.4.x compiled and working. The 2.4.x kernel compiles, but the
PCMCIA package won't.

Any help is appreciated.

I get on my laptop about 2 1/2 hours of battery life (I have a Gateway
9300); i.e., my battery life really hasn't dropped by much.

Compiling PCMCIA with kernel 2.4.13

2001-12-20 Thread Darryl L. Pierce

I've again attempted to compile the 2.4.13 kernel for my laptop (Gateway
Solo 9300) and have again failed to build the PCMCIA package. I _am_
able to build them under 2.2.19, but not 2.4.13.

The error I get during the pcmcia compile is this:

3c575_cb.c: conflicting types for 'wait_for_completion_R02032293'

I have disable all PCMCIA options for the kernel. Can someone help?

I had similar problems with my laptop and desktop as well. Do you have
GPM setup to auto-repeat the mouse? If so, turn it _off_. Repeat
protocol works fine in a text console, but causes X to become
_extremely_ erratic...

Rather than using the 2.4 kernel PCMCIA drivers, try using the separate
PCMCIA bundle from <http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net>. I was never able
to get my PC cards working on my laptop with the 2.4.x kernel until I
downloaded and used the separate bundle. Just download them, recompile
your kernel with _no_ PCMCIA support built in. Then, once you've
installed the kernel and its modules (be sure to delete the
/lib/modules/2.4.?? directory as well) build and install the PCMCIA
package. You should be fine on your next reboot. It worked for me. =)

Smart relay setting for Exim...

2003-01-17 Thread Darryl L. Pierce
I use my laptop both at home and at work. I've been completely unable 
to send email to a few mailing lists for some reason, and have narrowed 
it down to Exim complaining about retry timeouts connecting to their 
mail servers. When I switched to using my ISP's smart relay, everything 
started working properly.


My question, is there a way to configure Exim to use my ISP's SMTP 
server and my SMTP server at work without having to manually change 
settings when I go from one place to the other?

Inspect your /etc/init.d/pcmcia script.  It may be trying to 'insmod'
modules instead of 'modprobe'ing them, with the result being that
dependent modules are not loaded correctly.  I had a similar problem,
and fixed it by modifying the script to 'modprobe' the pcmcia modules.


Another is to make sure that /etc/default/pcmcia has 
PCIC="yenta_socket" rather than PCIC="i82365" since the 2.4 kernels 
don't have that module.

My kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.18-586tsc has the i82365 module.  Has its
use
been deprecated?


I don't know. I've not seen the i82365 module since I switched up to 
the 2.4 kernel. Instead, I've used the yenta_socket module and all has 
worked fine. Did you build the kernel or install the kernel image?

Rather than using the 2.4 kernel PCMCIA drivers, try using the separate
PCMCIA bundle from <http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net>. I was never able
to get my PC cards working on my laptop with the 2.4.x kernel until I
downloaded and used the separate bundle. Just download them, recompile
your kernel with _no_ PCMCIA support built in. Then, once you've
installed the kernel and its modules (be sure to delete the
/lib/modules/2.4.?? directory as well) build and install the PCMCIA
package. You should be fine on your next reboot. It worked for me. =)

Correct. When I dock my laptop, the slots on the laptop itself are the
only ones visible. When I do "cardctl status" I only see two slots
listed.

Y'know, you got me in the right direction, and I think I'm _almost_
there. I went into my BIOS and found a setting for what operating system
I'm using (Other, Windows 95, Windows 95/98; strange, eh?). I set it to
"Other" and rebooted. When I did that, Linux saw the other two sockets!
But, when I plug my 3COM 3c575 card into the replicator's sockets, I get
the message:

2002-02-21 Thread Darryl L. Pierce
Going into my BIOS and setting the "Operating System" option from

are two more PC sockets! But, unfortunately, every PC NIC I've tried in
the sockets has failed, save one 3Com card that I borrowed for shits and

The NIC I normally use (3Com 3c575) comes up with a funky vendor &

DFE-660) and it gets the same thing. But, my IBM v.34 fax/modem card is

reason, I can't get my 3Com to work in the sockets on the replicator.

One option, if you have broadband access during the installation, is to

ACPI battery monitor for Gnome...

2002-06-07 Thread Darryl L. Pierce
I've tried using the standard battery monitor for Gnome, but it reports 
the current battery status and then immediately dies and has to be 
reloaded. I did configure it for ACPI. The other (battstat-applet) 
constantly fluctuates between reporting the current chage and 0%, at 
which point it throws up a dialog that's annoying.


Is there a decent, working battery monitor for ACPI-enabled kernels? 
I'm using 2.4.18 kernel now.

I use my laptop both at home and at work. I've been completely unable 
to send email to a few mailing lists for some reason, and have narrowed 
it down to Exim complaining about retry timeouts connecting to their

started working properly.

My question, is there a way to configure Exim to use my ISP's SMTP 
server and my SMTP server at work without having to manually change 
settings when I go from one place to the other?

Inspect your /etc/init.d/pcmcia script.  It may be trying to 'insmod'
modules instead of 'modprobe'ing them, with the result being that
dependent modules are not loaded correctly.  I had a similar problem,
and fixed it by modifying the script to 'modprobe' the pcmcia modules.


Another is to make sure that /etc/default/pcmcia has 
PCIC="yenta_socket" rather than PCIC="i82365" since the 2.4 kernels 
don't have that module.

My kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.18-586tsc has the i82365 module.  Has its

I don't know. I've not seen the i82365 module since I switched up to

worked fine. Did you build the kernel or install the kernel image?
