Get the new SVGA server from sunsite or elsewhere. It -says- it's for Xfree

3.1, but it works wonderful with 2.1.1 after a little bit of minor configuring.

|

|

I was wondering whether the ICS WaveFront sampler/synthesizer chipset of the
|
|
Turtle Beach Maui soundcard (and some other Turtle Beach soundcards) will be
|
|
supported under Linux (it was not listed as a supported card in the Sound-HOWTO
|
|
from tsx-11). I do not yet own a Maui soundcard, but I am aware that there is
|
|
a "WavePatch" program that allows full control of the WaveFront chipset under
|
|
MS Windows. I was wondering whether or not a similar program/driver would be
|
|
available for Linux, or do I have to go find my Microsoft Windows installation
|
|
disks ... yuk! 8)

Thanks for any information.

I suspect you haven't looked at 387 prices lately. An Intel chip
|
|
runs about $40, and I've seen Cyrix for $30 :)
|
|
|
|
I've also seen 486DLC/40 motherboards for about $110 (that's w/ just
|
|
VLB). So figure $150 for 486DLC40+387/40. Of course, for only $100
|
|
more, you can get a DX2/66 with VLB :)

It's pretty easy. You will need to do a kernel rebuild, but that's not to
|
|
hard. With the older kernels, there is a line to uncomment in configuration
|
|
file that allows the EtherExpress to be chosen. Do a 'make config' once the
|
|
file is changed. If you choose to update to the newest kernel (I would, I
|
|
used the EtherExpress with the old kernel for quite a while and had some
|
|
problems - once I updated to the newest kernel, they all went away), then
|
|
just answer "yes" to the alpha drivers question. If you go for the the kernel
|
|
update, see the NET-2 HOWTO. It has the best explanation of where to find
|
|
everything, and it also talks about network software updates.
|
|
Feel free to e-mail me for more details. I went through this whole process
|
|
myself and lived to tell the story!

Having been an Ultrix administrator for some years, and run Linux for a
|
|
very short time and now a FreeBSD developer, I can say with certainty
|
|
that Linux is *nothing* like Ultrix when compared to FreeBSD. FreeBSD
|
|
is orders of magnitude closer to Ultrix than Linux will ever be. Some
|
|
would argue that it's not necessarily a good thing. :-)

|

|

Nope. Ultrix is probably the last of the commercial OS that is still
|
|
primarily BSD based (excepting BSDI's offering). However, it's being
|
|
phased out by OSF/1, so it's a dead-end OS as far as DEC is concerned.

I'm glad to hear that you think the problem is not

Yggdrasil-specific. We can't reproduce this guy's problem, but

because it looks like a it would be useful in other contexts,

A few hints for that part :

|
|
really faster than serial line and is much simpler to configure.
|
|
|
|
* make tests with the library's software to see if Dosemu can run it
|
|
properly. If it is not a Window program all should work fine.
|
|
|
|
( well I'm assuming that the software for searching through the database
|
|
is a DOS based one. Isn't it ? )
|
|
|

hope this helps...

But a poster earlier mentioned that he just bought an AMD 486dx/2 80 CHIP.
|
|
I would have to agree with Daniel, that the chip would internally running at
|
|
80 Mhz and externally at 40 Mhz. This chip would be perfect for my MB - running
|
|
at 40 Mhz with a TI 486DLC-40 chip on it.
|
|
|
|
So when is AMD comming out with a 486dx4-120? :-)

Yes, it is. Just plug in and play :-)

I suppose you allready have an SCSI-Adapter? If not, you will have to
|

get a Supported one (well, most are supported), recompile the kernel and
|
|
go on. Be shure to have a cartridge in the drive on boot-up. Besides
|

that, everything should be ok, Linux recognizes it as a simple harddisk.

In answer to the original question, however:

DOS/Windoze runs under Linux, instead of the other way around.

The config program is a lot better than the last one (IMHO) too.

As far as I can tell the mitsumis, atleast the old ones don't support
|
|
independant volume control, so the balance control will probably always
|
|
be broken. As for the know control codes, the only two settings that
|
|
seem to work are zero or full volume...
|
|
|
|
If like me your cd leaves the machine for a sound card (eg SB pro), you
|
|
can do like I did and redirect the mitsumi volume control ioctls to the
|
|
sound driver mixer controls. With this WorkMan works fine. I don't have the
|
|
patches for any recent kernel, but it is pretty easy to do. just redirect
|
|
the volume ioctl in the cdrom driver to to bottom of the mixer ioctl of the
|
|
sound driver.
|
|

Jon.
