thanks again. have a good holiday...

I am subscribed at fuzzy@ns.asarian.org and do receive email from the
list, (except those I post myself). all posts I post fail to appear,
but I don't get errors from your SMTP mail server rejecting them, they
simply vanish into the ether.
my last successfull post was on 29 Dec 97, a followup to someone
else post.

Subject: Re: Oh yeah!
I'm attemting to install "offical" debian 1.3.1 (BO) from the lsl.com
cd-roms + the non-free directories I ftpd to a ez135 cart.
currently I'm trying to configure a ISA/plug-and-pray soundcard.
I have IRQs 9 and 10 available for it, and IO except for 0x0330
thats in use by the scsi card all the addresses it wants, DMAs
0 1 3 all appear to be available.
pnpdump does recognise the card and offer a few sets of possible
addresses and irqs. but I an unfamiliar with the this approach
and don't know how to take pnpdumps output and make it into a
configuration file for isapnp. the soundblaster card we had
used irq 10, IO 220&300 and DMA 1 and 6. this one appears
to only use 1 DMA but 3 sets of IO addresses.
seperately, I want to install X windows. the video card is
a S3 ViRGE chipset with 4meg video ram. I attempted installing
the xbase+servers-s3v plus what ever depended on it with dselect.
it appeared to have installed corectly, but startx doesnt do
anything?? during the installation process, it went into graphics
mode and for configuring the server parameters. and the display turned
gray with a X cursor. the defualt dimensions are too small tho,
I like to back up from 1024x768 to 800x600 @ 256 if thats possible.
I was unable to get the middle putton on the 3button mouse to be
recognised by the setup for X windows. the mouse itself does have a
switch on the bottom of the mouse that says MS and PC as possible
choices. it arrived set at MS.
I'm wondering if there is problem between my server and list
processers server... we've sent this post twice and still have not
seen it in the incoming mail.
don't know which list processer you're using, so I don't know how to
query it to ask about "metoo" type settings.
have you seen this post, is my outgoing email going out? we do get
incoming email from the list, but don't see our own, or any replys to
it :(.
are we missing packages??

Subject: sound and IRQ/IO addr/card bios base addresses
it annoys me that the salesman made a point repeatedly that even
though its a PnP device other "non-M$" OSes would be able to configure
it. I'm pretty sure its because its a PnP device that I'm having all
these problems.
with the ne2k clone, it required running dos from a floppy and then
runing its setup dos based utility. it then wrote the fact that I
wanted to the 10base2 port vs the default 10baseT port and the
appropriate IRQ and IO addresses. the setup utility then writes this
into NVRAM so it remembers it until changed, it also keeps a copy of
the data on the setup diskette in a file.
pnpdump does detect it and offer setup choices. would its output help
diagnose having to set the thing up? according to the sales people its
a SB compatable. maybe generating a module for sound and SB specs,
then using isapnp to set the card to those specs would work? can we
tell the kernel NOT to load the module unless we run insmod for it
explicitly? obviously, the card would have to be configured by isapnp
before the module was loaded that tried to interact with it at
specific IRQs and IO addresses.
we copied the output pnpdump below and well as the contents of
/proc/pci .... obviously the video keyboard mouse(/dev/ttyS0) ide0
floppy-controller and scsi-host adapter all work or we wouldnt be able
to get information to tell you ;).
as we've said we are unfamiliar with the order of things in Debian.
in slackware /etc/rc.d/rc.local is the last 1 time only rc. file to
run and thats were you do things that depend on other things already
having been done. is there is an analogue to /etc/rc.d/rc.local in
Debian?
in the mean time we'll try to puzzle out how pnpdump & isapnp work to
configure the card.
take care ... thanks again...
a confuzed,
fuzzy
