I've got one old and one new question. First the new one: 1. I'm trying to set up an Epson Color Stylus 740 printer. I followed the HOWTO and got the apsfilter package. My problem is that this package doesn't seem to have a filter for the Epson 740. I tried the only Epson filter that looked p

> 64Meg RAM question

2000-01-07 Thread William Heindl
I am running slink on an IBM 560Z with 128Meg of RAM. Only 64Meg are being seen (as evidenced from doing "dmesg"). Now, I have seen in various HOWTOs that this is expected, and the solution is to build the kernel with "newmem" set. However, I'm puzzled. Two guys at my office built their system

Re: > 64Meg RAM question

2000-01-07 Thread William Heindl
Hi, Yes, the BIOS does pick up the memory. This machine dual boots NT, and NT has no problem seeing all 128Meg. However, in Linux, at boot time I just get: Memory: sized by int13 088h Console: 16 point font, 400 scans Console: colour VGA+ 80x25, 1 virtual console (max 63) pcibios_init : BIOS

Thanks!

Thanks to all those who responded to my question about memory beyond 64Meg on an IBM 560Z Thinkpad. Thanks to the suggestions, I solved the problem by adding append="mem=130496k" to my lilo.conf. The funny memory number (i.e. NOT 128M) is needed because the Thinkpad hardware grabs the highe

SCSI question

2000-01-12 Thread William Heindl
Hello again, With my extra memory problem solved, I've been working on getting through the rest of my setup problems (on an IBM Thinkpad 560Z). I have a SCSI pcmcia card (Adaptec, APA-1460 SCSI Host Adapter). When I did my build (2.0.38 from floppies), I included SCSI support. But, I didn't h

Just to second the motion. I am running kernel 2.0.38 on a Thinkpad 560Z. I live with "crash on suspend" all the time, making working on batteries pretty impractical! One day I'll have the time to upgrade to a 2.2.x kernel! Biff >On Sun, 12 Mar 2000, John Miskinis wrote: >>Hello, >> >>>ker

parport and printing

Hi, I'm having trouble getting printing to work on my parallel port since I built a custom kernel (2.2.14). I am running on an IBM 560Z. In building the kernel, I selected Plug and Play support, but not Auto-probe for parallel devices. When I boot and look in /proc/parport a directory "0" exis

mouse attention problem

I have a problem with the focus of my mouse. Intermittently (maybe 10% of the time), the mouse focus fails to change to the new window I'm pointing at. So, I aim at a new window, but my keystrokes come up in the last window I was typing in. Sometimes it even seems like I'm trying to type on th
