Does the fourport support (AST fourport card) exist for the
|
|
kernel 099PL12? What are the right settings for the kernel?
|
|
Thanx for any hints.
|
|
|
|
Yes; from the INFO-SHEET:
|
|
|
|
0.3.3 Supported hardware:
|
|
|
|
Other hardware: SoundBlaster, ProAudio Spectrum 16, Gravis
|
|
Ultrasound, AST Fourport cards (with 4 serial ports), several
|
|
models of Boca serial boards, the Usenet Serial Card II, several
|
|
flavours of bus mice (Microsoft, Logitech, PS/2).
|
|
|
|
You will need the setserial version 2.01 to get the AST Fourport serial
|
|
ports to be configured (in /linux/sources/sbin on tsx-11.mit.edu).
|
|
Configure the AST Fourport cards in enhanced mode, not in compatible
|
|
mode, and use separate IRQ's if you have two Fourport cards --- although
|
|
the Fourport docs claims that two Fourport cards can share an IRQ, I've
|
|
never seen it work. I generally use IRQ 5 and IRQ 2 for my two AST
|
|
Fourport cards.

XFree86 is worth what you paid for it. When you start coughing up some

our work and heap ridicule on us because it doesn't meet your standards.
|

If you don't like it, do something about it.
|
|
|

Anyone wanna guess how much of my time and money is spent on doing XFree86
|
|
things that are of absolutely no use to me personally? I've spent at
|
|
least a couple thousand dollars on equipment, software, databooks, etc.
|
|
I spend 30-50 hours a week, on top of my job, on XFree86. Most of it
|
|
fixing other people's problems, documenting things I already know how
|
|
to do, and worrying about configurations I will never see.
|
|
|
|
On top of this, I'm in the process of changing jobs, moving, AND trying
|
|
to keep XFree86 2.0 on track so it actually ships.
|

I DON'T need this bullshit.

yeah i tried all sorts of signal fidling with signal and sigaction, all with

Subject: Linux, BUS Mouse, IRQ problem...Help???
|
|
Date: 18 Sep 1993 06:26:25 GMT
|
|
|
|
I have a slight problem and short of installing SLS all over again I am
|
|
seeking suggestions on how to address this problem.
|
|
I installed SLS 1.02 on my gateway VLB-33 a few months ago. I got everything
|
|
up and running after a few agonizing weeks of troubleshooting (finding a Xconfig
|
|
that worked with my ATI GUP). At the time, I had a bus mouse installed using
|
|
IRQ 5.
|
|
I recently upgraded my system with an additional hard drive, a fax/modem (int, IRQ-3)
|
|
and a sound card (IRQ 5). My bus mouse has now been relocated to IRQ 4. I have been able
|
|
to get Linux up and running again even though the physical drive it was on became
|
|
drive #2. But Xwindows crashes when I call it up and it appears the hardware change
|
|
(from IRQ 5 to IRQ 4 on the bus mouse) is the cause. I do not want to reinstall the
|
|
whole package if there is a better way.
|
|
|
|
*** How do I update the kernel to reflect the hardware change described above? ***

You only need MS-DOS :-) Try the following product:

Drawbridge is a copyrighted but freely distributable bridging filter.

It uses a PC with two ethernet cards to perform the filtering. It is

composed of three different tools: Filter, Filter Compiler and Filter
|

Manager. This distribution is version 1.1 which fixes some bugs in the

beta test version 1.0.
|

Drawbridge is available via anonymous ftp from sc.tamu.edu (128.194.3.57)
|

in pub/security/drawbridge as two packages:
|
|

drawbridge-1.1.tar.Z and drawbridge-1.1-des.tar.Z

The more people they know are interested, the more likely they are to do a port.
|
|
Besides, IMHO, Maple is a better package than Mma. Let them know you want a port

for Linux!

I've heard that people are having trouble re-compiling the Xserver.
|
|
I would like to avoid that if possible.
|
|
|
|
Does anyone out there actually have Linux working with the
|
|
ATI Graphics Ultra Plus? Regardless of whether it takes full
|
|
advantage of the hardware support it offers.
|
|
|
|
I wish I could e-mail beer to those who help ... but if you're
|
|
ever in Ottawa, ...
|
|
|
|
cheers,
|
|
Tony.

I believe minicom comes standard with all of the major Linux
|
|
distributions.

Ok, here is more info from my original post. I have a TEAC CD-50
|
|
CD-ROM drive attached to a Future Domain 168 SCSI card and am
|
|
running SLS 1.03. (p12)
|
|
|
|
I found the kernel config option to disable SCSI CD-ROM recognition
|
|
and recompiled and installed this new kernel with that option off.
|
|
Now when Linux starts up with the CD-ROM drive _DISCONNECTED_ it
|
|
reported the following SCSI verification:
|
|
|
|
scsi0:
|
|
detected 1 hard disk, 1 tape drive
|
|
|
|
|
|
When I started up with the _original_ kernel and the CD-ROM drive
|
|
_DISCONNECTED_ it reported this SCSI verification:
|
|
|
|
scsi0:
|
|
dected 1 hard disk, 1 tape drive, 0 CD-ROM drive
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now the kicker... Under EITHER kernel with the CD-ROM attached, I get
|
|
the following error sequence. NOTE: this happens even in the
|
|
kernel that has SCSI CD-ROM recognition disabled!
|
|
|
|

Why does this happen even when I have SCSI CD-ROM verification
|
|
turned off in the kernel? Shouldn't the generic SCSI CD driver
|
|
at least let it pass through, even if it can't work with this
|
|
device?
|
|
|
|
Any assistance will be appreciated. I need to run my internal
|
|
CD with OS/2 and DOS. It isn't really needed under Linux, so
|
|
if I can totally disable it, that's OK. I do have the CD option
|
|
set to 'n' in the config.in kernel file, so what's up?
|
|
|
|
Thanks,
|

Gregg
