<0> ahhh.
<1> Viking667: nothing to my knowledge... i don't remember how/if i configured it last time
<1> however it was, though, i don't think it created a resolution setting for erm...1280xwhatever
<1> or depth setting or whatever
<0> 1280x960 or 1280x1024
<1> oh yeah
<1> head -1 xorgconfig
<1> duh
<1> err...xorg.conf
<0> sinthetek: ah huh. I'm so used to editing my xorg.conf by hand that I don't use the tools.
<0> And why do you want just the first line?
<1> xorgconfig is what i used. that should be fairly easily readable/editable
<0> oh.
<1> briarpatch:~# head -1 /etc/X11/xorg.conf
<1> # File generated by xorgconfig.
<0> mine was done by XFdrake
<1> ahh
<1> i noticed that X -configure and a couple others don't have any comments really and i can barely figure 'em out
<0> sinthetek: that's where reading the man page helps.
<0> You'll already know there's probably a man page for your card? i.e. "man ati" should turn up something.
<1> bleh, ctrl+alt+- is still saying 'sync over range'
<1> i didn't know that actually
<1> awesome
<0> Right. So now you have to start playing with modelines.
<0> You can define your own modelines in the xorg.conf file too, just like back in the XFree86 days
<1> wow, you're full of useful tidbits today :P
<0> lol.
<1> maybe that will speed up my 700kb/s xfer on my lan
<0> It's just the way it happens on my machine.
<1> between two hosts i get get 10MB, but with this host i am only getting < 1MB. i think it's this stupid voip router
<0> err, no. Ithis is for a dialup modem. And frankly I'm going to burn stuff to DVD, then toast the drive for a Solaris install. Buggered if I know how on EARTH I'm going to get it running as hdc though.
<0> ah. I was getting as little as 2.5Mb between two hosts sustained - yet when I switched over to Ubuntu, went up to 11MB
<2> hey all i got a couple of questions... new to linux, i just installed linux on my gateway m500 laptop, it has a built in wireless card, i cant figure out how to configure it correctly for my linksys wireless g router
<3> Avatar132: What's the chipset?
<2> i dont know exactly, but my windows system showed it as ORiNOCO Mini PCI Card
<3> Avatar132: lspci -v
<3> That'll tell you
<2> gave me a list a mile long, didnt have time to see it
<3> Avatar132: lspci -v | more
<0> Avatar132: then pipe it to less, dude.
<0> lspci -v | less
<2> i dont see it in the list
<2> checked it three times
<0> hrm. Is it on a PCMCIA slot? USB?
<2> neither
<2> like i said, its built in
<0> m. then it'll presumably be pci.
<0> Look again. Also check dmesg | less
<0> See if it popped up there.
<2> k, 1 sec
<2> i see something about the brand
<2> it says orinoco.c 0.13d (David Gibson) <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au> and others
<2> then talks about eth0
<3> Avatar132: What distro are you using?
<2> slackware, lastest verison
<0> There we are.
<3> Avatar132: Wrong answer
<2> say what?
<4> whatchootalkin' 'bout willis?
<3> Avatar132: New and slackware don't go in the same sentence
<2> so ur sayin i cant get the built in card to work, thats kewl, is there a way of disabling the built in so i can use a pcmcia
<3> We're not saying it's not possible
<3> And the card is disabled if no driver is loaded
<1> any ideas how to fix this? google isn't much help it seems: May 14 17:40:56 trichrome nfsd[10046]: nfssvc: No such device
<3> sinthetek: Does it go in an infinite loop?
<1> when i try to connect i'm getting:
<1> May 14 17:34:41 trichrome rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from briarpatch:975 for / (/)
<1> May 14 17:34:42 trichrome rpc.mountd: getfh failed: No such device
<2> well, it shows up, sees the orinoco card, shows the mac address i would asume its loaded
<1> you mean is it being repeated in the error log? no
<3> Avatar132: So basically it's all detected?
<3> sinthetek: Ah
<2> yes
<3> sinthetek: I had that before
<3> Avatar132: dhcp connection?
<3> Avatar132: lsmod | orinoco
<1> ya know... i think i might have too, haha
<1> now that you mention it
<3> sinthetek: But I had it way back when that would cause a machine to basically lock
<1> wow, i guess that means i was lucky :P
<2> -bash: orinoco: command not found
<1> here we go, no nfs server support in this kernel
<3> Avatar132: Woops...sorry. lsmod | grep orinoco
<3> Heh, left out a grep
<2> hehe
<3> sinthetek: What kind of a kernel doesn't support nfs?
<1> i mean in this running kernel it isn't compiled
<2> okay, a list of 5 lines comes up on the screen
<3> Avatar132: O.k. So the driver is loaded.
<3> Avatar132: "su -"
<5> How do I flush the dns cache in linux?
<2> reality: that gave me the quote of the day
<3> Avatar132: What?
<3> Oh, yeah, when it logged into root probably
<2> yes, im in root
<2> figured it be the best place for me to fix a system wide problem
<3> Avatar132: "su -" is a specific thing though
<3> Ah, logged in.
<3> Anyway, "iwconfig eth0 essid ANY"
<2> k, i typed that, nothing happened
<3> Avatar132: Good
<3> Avatar132: That means you have wireless-tools installed
<3> Avatar132: What's your access points name?
<2> i do have encrpytion on my router, the router uses plantext for encrpytion vs. keys, so im not sure how to convert it
<3> Avatar132: And you said eth0 was your wireless card, correct?
<3> Avatar132: For now, disable encryption
<2> i have the linksys WRT54G
<2> yeah.. wish i knew where the ethernet card was, lol.. but thats for another time
<3> Avatar132: The last thing you want to do is troubleshoot a basic wireless connection with encryption
<2> k, 1 sec
<1> SJr|nx: rndc reload?
<5> sinthetek no I mean the client side cache
<2> i also have mac filtering set up, but i already put the wireless card's mac address in there, is that okay to leave on?
<3> I'd get rid of that too
<5> sinthetek rndc reload will flush the server cache if you are running one, but I want the client cache to be flushed
<2> k, everythings off right now
<3> You want to be able to just be able to pull an easy dhcp address or go static with it
<3> O.k.
<3> Avatar132: What's the essid (broadcast) name of the router?
<2> MontCast1
<3> Avatar132: O.k. Now do an iwconfig and tell me which of the listings there (eth0, wifi0, whatever) has information by it that doesn't read "no wireless extensions found"
<2> Eth0 has a bunch of stuff next to it
<2> u want me to give u want it says?
<1> SJr|nx: what client are you using?
<3> It has information like essid ANY on it?
<5> sinthetek just the console
<5> like if I type ping
<5> ping google.com
<5> it queries the resolver on the local machine to figure out the IP Address
<5> that resolver maintains a cache
<1> SJr|nx: i'm pretty sure the system itself doesn't keep one. perhaps the program you're using does
<5> The system itself should keep one
<5> Ah
<5> I see
<5> its the DNS server
<5> thanks
<1> tcpdump port 53
<2> it says "IEEE 802.11-ds ESSID:"" Nickname "ingen1" Mode Managed Frequency 2.457ghz Access point 44:44:44:44:44:44
<1> then in another window: ping -c 1 google.com a couple of times
<3> Avatar132: O.k.
<3> Avatar132: Cool
<3> Avatar132: "iwconfig eth0 essid MontCast1"
<3> Avatar132: "iwlist eth0 scan"
<5> HMMMM
<5> sinthetek yeah you're right
<3> Avatar132: Should return a bunch of access points including MontCast1
<5> I figured out I was using a DNS server on a remote host, not the local one
<2> "Etc0 Interface doesn't support scanning: Operation not supported
<6> eth0
<1> ahh, yeah. you have your local named set to do caching for your lan?
