I've just finish updating install from Mandriva 2006 to Mandriva 2007 PowerPack+ Edition

My problem is, My Wheel Mouse function can scrolling.

I've try to re-configure my mouse using mousedrake and choose manually to Generis PS/2 Wheel Mouse.

At Secreen Test I can scroll the wheel button, but after that I try to test it from Webbrowser Firefox, it still not work.

Open a console, login as root and type: depmod -ae (that commant tells the kernel there is a new module.). After that do modprobe snd-bt-sco

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Still same error :(

 

[root@amd]# su

[root@amd]# depmod -ae

[root@amd]# modprobe snd_bt_sco

FATAL: Module snd_bt_sco not found.

[root@amd]#

 

edit: modprobe snd_bt_sco, not snd-bt-sco (anyway, result is same)

I got the same problem here, Im using Jabra 250... I already follow the steps mentioned in that Official ALSA Bluetooth site ... kernel module for snd_bt_sco not created successfully ..

then I do some "dmesg" ,, I've found this messege

snd_bt_sco: Unknown symbol snd_hwdep_new

usbcore: registered new driver dabusb

drivers/usb/media/dabusb.c: v1.54:DAB-USB Interface Driver for Linux ©1999

snd_bt_sco: Unknown symbol snd_hwdep_new

I go back to look up the Installation Step No. 4

It said :

For SCO (two-way voice quality audio) you need a kernel with the emu10k1 driver selected (this is one of the drivers that forces the inclusion of the implementation of "snd_hwdep_new").

seems like this "snd_bt_sco" need snd_hwdep_new module

I guess we need a lil patch to ALSA module to build snd_hwdep_new before snd_bt_sco can be created.

Any ALSA Hacker could fix this problem in the next ALSA version ??

Mandriva has finally updated lirc to version 0.71 so that it can be used by the remotes that come with the popular Hauppaugge WinTV cards. There are many places on the web that help you get lirc working. For example aRTee has a very good article on his website that explains how you should get lirc working (link). However for most people the following short explenation should be enough:

 

-1- intall 'lirc-0.7.1-5mdk' and 'lirc-remotes-0.6.6-4mdk'.

 

-2- copy from /usr/share/lirc-remotes the lircd.conf for your remote to /etc (for example for the Hauppauge remotes: cp /usr/share/lirc-remotes/hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge /etc/lircd.conf   

 

-3- Open with your favorite text editor '/etc/sysconfig/lircd' and change the 'DRIVER=xxxxxx' line to 'DRIVER=DEFAULT' and the 'HWMOD=xxxxx' line to HWMOD=<the lirc module for your card. (for example for the Hauppage card: lirc-i2c)

 

-4- Open the Mandriva Control Center, system, services and start the 'lircd' service.

 

-5- open a console and type: irw (if you get a permission problem, log in as root and type: chomd 666 /dev/lirc/0). Press some buttons on your remote ad you should get to see soem output.

 

Good luck. :)

I got pixelview playtv pro here ( bt878 chipset )

I already follow the steps

cp /usr/share/lirc-remotes/pixelview/lircd.conf.playtv_pro to /etc/lircd.conf

and then edit /etc/sysconfig/lircd

I use lirc_i2c as the HWMOD, I dont if this is the right type for my PixelView

then I restart my lirc daemon... then I do "dmesg"

it said :

then I type "irw" as normal user

whats that mean ??

Until Now I still expecting that Canon will release some scanner driver for CanoScan 5000F USB

I am using the 2.6.11-6 kernel and I have Corsair Twinex 1Gb and it reads as 1.011.45 Gb.

I have not needed to go to the -up-1Gb or the -up- 4Gb kernels.

When I was using the 2.6.8 kernel, my readings were correct as well so I think later kernels have the necessary correction.  With earlier kernels it read approx. 890Mb

I have not compiled the kernels by the way.

I have successfully completed a total upgrade  by way of easy-urpmi, to Mandriva 2005 and without a major hitch (or even a minor one either).

 

Cheers.                      John

my Mandrake 10.1 OE with kernel 2.6.11-6mdk i686 only detect 890Mb for my 1GB RAM,

then I try to change manually my RAM Size from MCC to 1024M.

Is it worth ??

APIC, not ACPI. There's an option to disable it in the MDK Control Center.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

What is Exactly meaning of "Enable ACPI and Force No Local APIC"

seems like this two option meaning so much for Mandrake can detect something related to USB device stuffs.

I'm totally new to linux. I have a SanDisk Cruzer Mini that I used to use on Windows. Now I need to mount it on linux (I use Mandrake 10), and I don't know how! I've been trying to research the topic, but most of the methods I'm finding don't make sense to me.

 

Is there a simple enough way to configure it to just "plug and play"? I could really use some step-by-step instruction.

 

Thanks in advance,

Amanda

I have mini ScanDisk USB too and everything run properly in my Mandrake 10.1 OE after I update my kdebase and other stuff related to KDE. Default KDE from Mandrake 10.1 CD Installation has bug with USB and make Konqueror get Frozen if U plugin Something to your USB port.

you could also just install kernel-multimedia-2.6, which has a working lirc build.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I still confuse with any kernel type .. I just use default kernel from CD

what is the different betwen standard kernel with kernel multimedia?

if I change my official kernel to kernel multimeidia with the same version, is it just a Patch or replacing the kernel?

and what about the kernel source, do I have replace my kernel source with kernel-source-mulitimedia too ?
