Install xine it works perfectly and has for along time.... http://plf.zarb.org/ make sure you have dma activated for your dvd player Code: bash-2.05b# hdparm /dev/dvd/dev/dvd: HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 1 (on) readahead = 256 (on) HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument

Some yes some no... Depends what dependencies they are relying on and if those dependencies have also been updated....

No there is no need to have a line in /etc/fstab unless you want it to mount at boot. try Code: modprobe usb-storage to see what modules you have loaded Code: lsmod once you plug in and switch on your camera devfs will automatically create /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 and if you where to plug in a second camera or thumb drive it would create /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1.... If modprobing usb-storage worked for you all you need to do so that it loads this module at boot is add it to your /etc/modules file... Code: echo usb-storage >> /etc/modules

The only thing I changed in my ~/.wine/config was a line in [x11drv] "DesktopDoubleBuffered" = "Y" I then installed Code: wine ll_of_duty_demo_gsi.exe To run game I simply Code: wine CoDSP.exe

Quote: really? I've got the problem that it can't find the default.cfg. Any Ideas on how to get around it? Can't wait to get the game though Try re install. let me know what version of wine you are using and whether or not you are using fake windows. And if in doubt post yopur ~/.wine/config BTW COD the final release is reported working with wine. See Gentoo forum...

Quote: I don't seem to have a device called /dev/sda1 or anything similar. But I think I've got all the right modules in my kernel. Is that the error you are getting when you try to mount or have you simply looked in your /dev/ directory.

Follow the instructions at www.alsa-project.org

msn + gaim works fine here. gaim version 0.71.

try mounting it first Code: mkdir /mnt/camera then Code: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera

AFAIK the ded server is bundled with the client.

Thanks I saw your guide this morning. Great job... I got it running no problems now... BTW what kind of frame rates are you getting? I find it varies alot depending on server.

It really depends if you going to go amd or intel... As far as intel goes I really have'nt got a clue never owned 1. Althou the intel chipsets are said to be better...(probably by intel!) As far as amd goes if you are an advanced user... I would recommend the nforce2 chipset by nvidia. Otherwise stick to Via kt400 or kt600.

Yeah I was really dissapointed! I thought they where going to fix the linux issues for the 1.1 update... But it did'nt happen.

linux beta 1 is out. works great except sound, but not a big deal very playable. http://icculus.org/news/news.php?id=1607

My advice is buy a mainboard from a reputable mainboard maufacturer... Sonic is not a reputable mainboard maufacturer. I could'nt even find there website in a quick google around. I would recomend Asus or gigabyte from personal experience. This said MSI, Abit, and a few others also make good boards. Compatability is dependent on the chipsets used... Via, Intel, amd, nvidia chipsets are well supported. I would stay away from SIS. They are supported but fall into the cheap and chearfull category. I hope this help...

Dont kill yourself trying to get this to run, The binary has expired a new beta should be along one of these days.

check out this thread http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=31507&highlight=parhelia You can also try with the vesa or vga driver in xfree86 but face it if you want any kind of quality in linux youre gonna have to get an NVIDIA card.

I concur. Mandrake 9.1 is a nightmare buggy as hell. 9.0 was far better. Have since moved on to gentoo...

Quote: Thanks... but i heard that redhat 7x supports joystick, may be not a force feedback. If so, can u help abt the details abt the driver support for it? Thanks once again. Linux is the kernel on which all other programs run.... Esentially all distributions (Redhat, mandrake,suse, debian, gentoo, etc...) have a linux kernel therefore will support the same hardware... The only differences bieng the kernel version and the unofficial patches applied to the kernel by the distributions... An example of a patch normally applied by the distributions is cdrom Supermount. This patch is somewhat unstable and therefore is not included in official linux kernel (Vanilla kernel). The rest (Largest part, not all) of what is un-justly known as linux is in fact GNU). Cutting to the chase you can run anything on any Distribution...Easy or Hard is another question. Usb joysticks are supported by all recent distributions with a 2.4.XX kernel. Usb Force Feedback is supported by Beta kernels 2.6.0testX If redhat is your choice of distribution install latest version... 9.0 I think I loose count...

Linux is Linux regardless of distribution. All that changes is the packaging...

Sorry... your linux future is not very bright. this is the official supported scanners pagehttp://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-backends.html neither your flatbed scanner or your negative scanner are supportred. Your camera is not a problem support is in kernel. usb-storage You mount it like a hard drive. Printer is Good to go. Compact flash reader should work same as camera i.e. mount as hard drive. Usb hub is supported also. As far as distrbutions go...."For tastes there are colors!" I used Mandrake for a while (2.5 years) abandoned in favor of Gentoo... Good luck
