Coping with Creative Ensonique 1371
by Sameer Sahasrabuddhe 07 Aug '01

hi, I am using Debian (testing) on a kernel 2.4.7, and compiled modules for sound card support .... but I can't get it to work. Three problems that I encounter: 1. no sound 2. aumix complains that mixer support is not compiled into the kernel, but there was no mixer support for the 1371. 3. whenever I move the mouse, I hear a distinct buzzing sound from the speakers. Here's the output from some relevant commands: # lsmod (or) # cat /proc/modules ies1371 30352 1 soundcore 4400 4 [es1371] ac97_codec 8608 0 [es1371] # cat /proc/interrupts 10: 720 XT-PIC es1371 12: 352516 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse # cat /dev/sndstat cat: /dev/sndstat: No such device # dmesg es1371: version v0.30 time 21:43:04 Aug 6 2001 PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:0a.0 es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274 device id 0x1371 revision 0x06 es1371: found es1371 rev 6 at io 0xe800 irq 10 es1371: features: joystick 0x0 ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x5452:0x4102 (TriTech TR28022) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

keyboard shortcuts in X and/or WMaker
by Sameer Sahasrabuddhe 07 Aug '01

07 Aug '01

Hi, Recently switched to WindowMaker ... wonderful environment to work in! What I want to know is how to create keyboard short cuts for common apps, so that there is no need to go through the whole process of F12->apps and so on ... What is the syntax for putting these in $HOME/.xinitrc? And what about defining them under $HOME/GNUstep?? SameerDS. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

KDE & netscape + [OT]Restart Problem
by Aarjav Trivedi 06 Aug '01

06 Aug '01

Hello people I have a problem running netscape on kde it gives a segmentation error - core dumped message and exits the queer thing is that it works perfectly with gnome running so how do i solve this problem ? secondly i have started having an [OT] hardware problem every time i restart my computer my keyboard and mouse stop functioning and the computer hangs if windows is default in lilo and the if linux is default in lilo then redhat kudzu the hardware detecting tool starts and offers a list of keyboards to choose from i have to go with the default in lilo as pressing keys has no effect except the capslock, numlock and scrolllock buttons blinking together. also the keyboard is detected as otherwise a "keyboard not detected" error would be given by my bios thanks Aarjav __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

We don't need no dependencies
by Nikhil Joshi 06 Aug '01

06 Aug '01

The dependency stuff in Linux is really frustrating . I mean when I download some new software and try to install it , it shows some dependency problems. To give you an example recently I downloaded a a mail client called mahogany which had 2 dependencies. Now I downloaded the reqd package to solve it. To my surprise that package had 5 unsolved dependencies ! I gave up the idea thinking that I would be running around in circles. I had same nightmarish experience when I tried to upgrade rpm 3 to rpm 4 Is there some distribution available which gets over this problem ? Linux is so well organized in other ways then why this irrational dependency thing . Why can't developers make standalone software ?

What is the difference between a workspace, a viewport and a desktop? Philip -- To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a test load.
