fan noise fan control Hello, I'm using ubuntu on Toshiba Tecra M3. My fan is constantly working hard and making noise. When Windows XP was installed, it controlled the fan activity based on the CPU usage well. So I want the equivalent performance on linux as well. I monitored the CPU activity on linux and it is controlled well. So th... 17 Jan 2006 13:13
cdrom: open failed. Since a few days I'm getting this weird error syndrome when trying to burn DVD-R discs: - my DVD writer can mount CDs, mount DVDs, and burn CD-R with no problem. - if I insert a blank DVD-R, the drive starts, but ultimately fails to recognize the disc (kernel says `cdrom: open failed' and burning... 17 Jan 2006 21:03

What exactly do I need to change in order to get the new resolution on my linux platform? I ran the display setup (system-config-display) and was able to choose a LCD Panel 1440x900 as display.

Troubleshooting a Sata install. I was given a Shuttle case with a mobo (nvidia) that holds an AMD64. By chance, my main PC has memory and a processor that exactly fits the box and I have always disliked the high fan noise of my case so I yanked out the components and moved them over, including my old ATA drive. Turns out that the Shuttle case i... 16 Jan 2006 17:54
Driver Programming - super ugh! I posted a question like this to comp.lang.c++, and they said to post to a more linux oriented group. How do I go about writing a driver for linux in any language, preferrably c++? I'm trying to write something for the RTL8185L wireless chipset. Ndiswrapper works, but only for about 3 seconds before locking up... 1 Jan 2006 18:50
Wireless lan for Linux... I am trying to figure out which Wireless LAN card to use with my system. There are a great many choices and without first hand knowledge of the various drivers I don't know which to buy. I know I can use the Windows driver on Intel platforms (and AMD64 running in 32 bit mode), but I would prefer using a native ... 21 Dec 2005 14:08

VIA K8M800 support Just installed the latest Ubuntu on an Everex Explora RS2800 from WalMart (the other evil empire). The vesa driver works. MS says the graphics chipset is: VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP 3108 K8M800. When I try the via driver from xorg, I get "unhandled chipset K8M800 - no specific support - unknown card (1509|6001)". An... 30 Oct 2005 19:05
Strange issue with D-Link DGE-530T network adapter Hello, I have recently upgraded my home network, replacing an old switch and one computer's NIC with a gigabit switch and a D-Link DGE-530T card respectively. The switch seems to be behaving fine, in that other systems can connect fine, and the one PC in question works in Windows 2000. In Linux, the same PC ... 20 Oct 2005 11:20 |
