for tecnical linux users
Hi experts, I have a little pb with un update I made of my BIOS. Bios is a AWARD and did a flash update, after that I get always the error : 'Keyboard error or keyboard not connected'. When looking at the site of award (phoenix) the say : 'Look that a key is not pressed or connect the keybord' But : 1. a key is not pressed 2. the keyboard is connected. (tryed it with different keybords) Of course any boot is impossble and doing a 'del' to setup the bios didn't help. I think the only solution is to replace the eeprom but he is SOLDERED :-( Is there any other solution ??

debian router problem
Hi list, i've setted-up an old p100 box as a debian router (only router) At boot, when reached 'Configuring interfaces ...' i've this error: 'Configuring network interfaces:eth1: linkup bla bla bla ..' and a 'failed'. Eth1 is connected to my dsl-modem. At the end of the boot process all likes loaded but not 'ipmasq' i have to reload manually. A link as S99ipmasq has no effect. Any help would be very appreciated. mess-mate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

2 graphic cards and 2 display's
Hi list, here is my big problem: I've a CAD-CAM system equiped with 1 big monitor (for the drawing's) and 1 litte(15") who's display the menu. The graphic cards are : 1 double artist-card for the drawings monitor. 1 trident TGUI9440 card for the 15" monitor. I've installed on other partitions debian woody. But can't get working the xserver on the 15" monitor with his trident card. Setted the pci id bus as " PCI:0:12:0" after a lspci to detect it. And the xserver won't start; the message is : "TRIDENT: no matching device section for instance (Bus ID PCI:0:18:0) found. No devices detected." I've setted the bus ID to 12 and not 18 !!! What can I o ? Any help would be very appreciated. mess-mate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Setting to 18 do it :) A 'XFree86 -scanpci -verbose' and the 18 was there. But there must be something wrong with X; it's slow, slow I've setted the depht to 8 (1024/768) and only blackbox would start. The card mem is 2048K. and 128M on motherboard. Was enough on another machine to run everything. Swap = 150M. Pentium 233MMX. What would be still wrong ?

framebuffer doesn't work ?
Hi,
i've a problem to run a framebuffer in console ( i think)
I've got a test prog from the web as attached.
This error occurs:
The framebuffer device was opened successfully.
Error reading fixed information.
So when trying to run nothing happens and return to the
console prompt.
Anyone can help me ?
thanks in advance

wheezy first install
Hi, i'v installed wheezy and this is my first impression: - installed in graphics expert mode - any child can do that :) - i don't like gnome so installed kde - the installation is a charm but... On the first run of the installation, no more internet connection !! I config it manually as always (eth0); ip gateway nameservers and so on. I don't understand what happen because the installation was done with the netinstall cd. I didn't install the dhcp clien.
