Pengiun power!

OK So I'm clueless.. Citizen X tried to help me, but how exactly do I use this mesa stuff?
www.mesa3d.org .. all I know how to use is RPM and I'm confused.. Which of Ryans files do i dl? Thanks to anyone who can help

Kornel posted 07-21-1999 21:40 ET (US)
If the only thing you know is how to use RPM then I suggest you head over to the rpm repository at http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/MByName.html and grab the binaries in RPM format. I linked to the section where you can find Mesa there. Also, grab the RPMs according to your Linux distribution. Cheers!

Where do i go and what do i need to get 3dnow
working under linux?
axe posted 07-27-1999 14:29 ET (US)
I don't think it's the process of downloading some kernel patch to enable 3Dnow, it's the fact that the programs have to include support for 3DNow. Though maybe a kernel patch would be a bit nifty too, maybe a Xfree patch. =]

Heh, this board has been dead for a while! Anyways, just wanted to say LINUX ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jayden posted 10-07-1999 20:45 ET (US)
That it does. I wish it supported 3DNow at the kernel level though. Wonder what would happen if I recompiled my kernel with a 3dnow aware compiler. Probably nothing.

DOH!!!!

Yeah, Im here in Linux.

For the first time too!

I REALLY wanna make windows obsolete in my system ... It SUCKS.

Heh, what about a Get LINUX NOW! campaign. We could go after both of the evils in the computer market; Intel and Microsoft!
Jayden posted 10-08-1999 01:04 ET (US)
I think that low cost AMD processors (k6-x)teamed with LINUX could be a real threat to MS/Intel on the low end. The big challenge is getting buisness to go for it. The k6-3 is superior in Integer over the PII. That would make it ideal for buisness apps. It didn't take because the corps are addicted to MS/Intel as if it were heroin. If Linux gets into the desktop of corporations it will take over the world. It is after all cheaper and faster. Get the apps up to WIN par and it's in.

Good point Per. That's why I've got Linux installed on my machine, but won't use it... :/

It's a bit of a nightmare to maintain. Well, I like gadgets and extensive switches and buttons on equipment, but there's a certain limit to that as well. I get to fool around with too many things in my life without fiddling with Linux modem settings etc.

Actually, I'd like to surf in Linux but it just won't support my internal modem Well, maybe if I get cable someday...

Postmand_Per posted 10-08-1999 15:48 ET (US)
Thats also the reason I don't use it anymore. I never managed to make it accept my modem and when I was finished with school I couldn't get the two dudes who usually fixed my problems to do it any longer and then I was really screwed..... I ended up with switching back to Win98 and now I'm running Win2000. But I'm thinking of giving Linux another try since I have a 4GB disk just waiting to be used

Most modems work in Linux actually, although sometimes it takes a while to figure out how to use them (It took me long enough - and enough terminal programs too!!!). Im using Red-Hat 6.0 and with the KDE desktop there is a very good program called kppp which works in a similar way to windows dial-up networking and is very simple to set up (So long as you know DNS server names), and the modem is far more configurable in Linux too.

Linux will work with just about any modem that can be used with the standard modem commands or used via a COM port.

Top marks to it - It even looks 100X better when it's set up right.

Postmand_Per posted 10-12-1999 15:40 ET (US)
I was using Red Hat 5.2 with GNOME at that time. The modem was an old US Robotics 28.8 and it just wouldn't work. I tried following some modem-faq's without any luck
Since I got a new modem and Linux have developed a bit since then I'm strongly considering trying again. Does anyone know if there are any problems with running both win98, win2000 and Linux at the same time?

What I hate is that my modem doesn't work under Linux. It's not a Winmodem but an HCF modem which is controllerless and must be controlled by the CPU. Since it just requires a sofware proggy to run unlike Winmodems wich require Windows, it could be ported to Linux. I've posted on many boards but so far haven't heard of any HCF programs. Have any of you?

a) I dont think you're likely to get drivers for any soft modem in Linux in the near future, unless they are released by the manufacturer. The best solution is to get a new modem - soft modems are shit, and you can get a 56k one for about £20 over here.

b) Linux IS free. You can get it on cover disks, download it, or order it for next to nothing from places like www.LinuxMall.com - I got my cds for $1.89 each (But paid much more for postage).

Akma posted 10-29-1999 16:48 ET (US)
If the soddy thing can't support my hardware then I've go to make my own OS (my own OS for me that supports all of my hardware). If a Linus could do it, I can as well. After all I'm a Finn too!

Methinks the next modem me gets is one of those that run on cable. Then I could have my secondary machine as a Linux server and scrap my card modem.

Imitation posted 10-30-1999 12:19 ET (US)
I had a lot of trouble getting Linux to work with my Modem as well. It's a 33.6k Netcomm ISA thing.... Anyway after reading through the newsgroups I found that you may need to disable plug and play in your BIOS or whatever...but keep "P+P OS" selected.. can't remember now... anyway you have it so that on my computer it lists all my peripheral cards on boot up... vid card, network card, modem, etc. Then I used Kppp to figure things out. You may have to use tty* or sometihng else like modem as the device for your modem. I just got a little sick of Linux after a while so as a result I just use Win 98 now.

That is what I did to get my modem working thoguh. Just stuff around.. and if you have no idea you can always try looking through /bin or whatever for the right proggie name. That's what I've done many times. Anything related with modems or other such stuff.
