[techtalk] Linux 6.1 Mouse Problems

I installed Redhat Linux 6.1 last night but am having a dickens of a time getting my mouse to work with X. I had been using a really, really old version of Linux so I reformatted the drive and started a clean install. I'm using a Microsoft Intellimouse (the optical version) connected to the PS/2 M

[techtalk] sound.... still

2000-04-16 Thread Sarah Hollings
After much frigging about with my system, and I mean ***a very very large amount of frigging*** I still cannot get sound working on this machine. The crux of it seems to be that sound is all there, but I just can't tell the modconf program what the parameters are to make it sodding well work.

Sarah- About a month ago I was like you, pulling my hair out trying to get a SB-64AWE card to work. This is how I did it. You should have made the modules in the kernel for sound support (sound.o), sb compatible support (sb.o) and a low-level AWE driver (awe_wave.o). If you have an ISA card yo

[techtalk] Installing Linux on a second hard drive.

2000-04-16 Thread The Russells
Hi all. Long story short, I have decided to install Linux (Mandrake 6.0) on a second hard drive, rather than partitioning my current 15GB hard drive devoted to Windows 98. The second hard drive is 10.1 GB and boots to DOS only right now. It's not even installed on my machine yet. Obviously, I

Hi, Sounds to me like your firewall isn't letting the remote POP server through.  Check your logs, if your logging denys you should see it denying the remote mail server.  Let it through on the POP port and you should not see this error. Hope it helps. Nicci srl wrote: Okay, I've been kicking at

[techtalk] Mouse Problems

2000-04-16 Thread root
I finally figured out the problem with the mouse. For some reason the Redhat installation utility installed the mouse as PS/2 even though I had specified Intellimouse. I ran mouseconfig (after a long search through the web...) and it configured the mouse as IMPS/2. While I was at it, I ran XConfig
