I used to see this often with an a7v133 and an a7v333. Burning audio or mode2 images would take over my computer (mode1 data cds didn't seem to have the problem as much) and moving the mouse or loading a page in a browser would be ridiculously slow. Also, the system clock would be a few minutes slow after one burn. After finding a thread on linux-kernel which explained a few shortcomings with the kernel, burning cds, and via chipset, I stopped looking for a fix: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0204.1/0053.html . Apparently 2.5 will be better with cds. Recently the a7v333 started refusing to boot at all and I replaced it with a different board (msi kt3 ultra - same via kt333 chipset as the a7v333). I've burned a few cds and was very surprised to find that burning a cd didn't take over the system anymore and the problem with the clock slowing is gone. audio/mode2 cds still seem to take up cpu but it's a whole lot better than before. Not sure what's going on... but I'm happy the problem's gone for me. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

compile pan 0.13.2 in testing
Hi, Has anyone who runs testing been able to successfully compile pan 0.13.x source ? 0.13.1 compiled and ran for me a while back but now although the build finishes, if I try to run pan, it immediately exits with a segmentation fault. I can only guess that something I recently apt-get upgraded has made a broken pan. I tried reverting recent updates to older versions but it didn't help. It's odd though because the pan 0.13.0 package in testing works. Thanks for any help. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Sandisk sddr-75 CF/SM usb reader problems
Hi list, I can't get this usb reader to work at all with a smartmedia card (i don't have a compact flash card to test) although searching on the web suggests that the sddr-75 is a standard USB Mass Storage device and there are reports that it works in linux. I've followed the suggestions here: http://vic.dyndns.org/linux-UsbMassStorage/ http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1227 I'm using the debian supplied kernel-image 2.4.21-3-k7 with sid as well as a self-complied 2.4.21 and also tried versions of 2.4.20 & 2.4.19. To load the usb modules, in a boot-up script, I have: modprobe usbcore modprobe usb-uhci modprobe usb-storage mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb Instead of doing this, I've also tried using hotplug and usbmgr as well as loading the modules in /etc/modules. `mount -t vfat /dev/sd[a,b] /mnt/flash/` gives: mount: /dev/sd[a,b] is not a valid block device I think the problem may be that sg is not mapping the reader slots to /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. When I do `sg_map`, I get: (scd0 is a cdrw) /dev/sg0 /dev/scd0 /dev/sg1 /dev/sg2 Does anyone know how to get /dev/sg2 mapped to /dev/sdb? I bought the reader because I was having similar problems with my camera. It's an Olympus D-510. I didn't use it for a while but I had it working fine in linux last year with an earlier 2.4 kernel. I'd really appreciate any help as this has been driving me nuts for a few days. :) I've included more info below in case it's useful.

Hi again, is your reader the same model, SDDR-75? Do you use hotplug, usbmgr, or a different way of loading the usb modules? What is your motherboard?

Still searching. hmmm, I don't see a time delay with the cursor... my set up is pretty much like yours except I have Option "Device""/dev/input/wacom" for "pad" and I'm using the debian packaged kernel 2.6.16-2-k7. In my case, xorg was not loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so ...it complained about a version mismatch or something. I got linuxwacom-0.7.6-1.tar.bz2 from http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net , compiled it and replaced /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so (I know it's probably not the "right" way to do fix that) and then it works except for the mouse problem you've described in your other email.

In konq settings -> Browser Identification, it gives you choices of fake IDs including ones for IE. I think there's an extension for firefox that does the same thing. Have you tried allowing all popups from the site? Maybe it's trying to open a new window when you login. If you can't get it to work, I guess you could run IE in qemu or vmware... and complain to your bank or switch banks. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The answer may be there. :) shots in the dark: - do you have a firewall running? have you checked the log during connection problems to see if it's blocking the site... - echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
