Hi,

I have P4 845gl chipset
256mb ddram
56ksoftmodem (Internal)
Nvidia geforce fx 5200 videocard.
ADSL modem broadband network connection
+standard multimedia goodies

All systems working OK with windows XP

I installed slackware 10.1. Installation OK

Network config with ethernet card OK

Config of PPPsetup OK

But modem does not respond at X server. Tried several tts slots during PPOsetup

I do not know how to access broadband via adsl modem

Xine plays Mpeg OK but no sound.

How to configure sound card?

Lot of questions. I hope someone can help.

yes u will get help here

but first of all u need to post the thread in correct forum
i am askng the mod. to shift this thread

and regarding ur problem

which modem do u have?

for sound , have u tried all controls in the sound mixer??

regards

I have generic soft56k modem

Yes with regard to the sound I have tried all controls in the sound mixer

regards

is that a hsflinmodem???

what do u get in

lspci

For the sound problem, did you run alsaconf?

shashank, did you fix your video?
If you did, please post what the problem was on the UT2004 thread, in case someone has the same problem and looks at it. I would also like to know what the problem was, especially after I was trying to help. This way I can try to help someone else with a similar problem. See if alsaconf helps the sound. If that fails, do you have sound anywhere else? Can you play CD's, mp3's or is it just xine?

well video is running on xine. I did not do anyhting, It just worked post slackware installation

so far as ut2004 is concerned, i tried an installation. installationdid not work

Reg sound, none of the multimedia audio or common pc audio work. I will try alsaconf and get back to you.

regards

Sorry, when I said video, I meant video card, I thought you had a problem with it. like no screens found etc... UT doesn't work in mandrake or slackware? What errors do you get?

Looks like you use onboard sound

lspci to know what sound device it use.

alsaconf to know it more. be sure to use the latest alsa-utils.

compile the modules with oss emulation support.

enable modules snd-<sound-device>.
and snd-pcm-oss and snd-mixer-oss for oss emulation.

use rexima. simple and fast.
rexima vol 100 to turn up the volume.

make sure volume is 100 % on xine.

hope can help

no I have not been able to fix the videocard as yet

I will try later

Let me try rest of the suggestions with reg to sound

regards

hi,

Successfully installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg1.run. Could not follow instructions to update XF86config. Where is this file. I could find the sample file at /user/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb. How to proceed now?

Alsaconf worked OK for sound card. Identified snd_1810 card. Card on boardworking on Windows XP is C-Media AC 97 audio device. However, Alsa mixer gave the following error : function snd_ctrl_open failed for definition. No such device. What next?

I am still teying to identify the port for my dialup modem. Not successful so far.

Not able to configure my ADSL broadband network although netconfig seems to have set up a network (Is it something likme a local network on the ethernet card?)

Some progress but lots to do

Regards

Slackqare uses xorg, not XFree. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I have never had a dsl connection, but I read someplace that the way you set one up is to run as root. To start and stop your connection, I assume one would use either or and adsl-stop sounds like a way to D/C

I guess this is the most common problem with this card on Slackware. The problem is Slackware loads a module 'snd-intex8x0m' which messes up things. Blacklist the module by adding snd-intel8x0m at the end of the file: /etc/hotplug/blacklist. Restart the machine after this, run alsaconf and alsamixer. Everything should be fine.

I did Xorgconf for configuring Xserver. I am able to start Xserver at root. No problem. Even before I installed the new driver as mentioned above

Does this mean I have configured the Nvidia Geforce FX 5200?

I read somewhere that duirng boot to X server, Nvidia display should show up. I am confused. Please clarify

You should get a NVidia Splash Screen when you start X if you succesfully configured X to use the official nvidia drivers and you didn't configure X to not show it (it shows by default).
Open the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf (that's X configuration file) with some editor like mcedit (mcedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf).
There, inside Section "Device" look for a line that says Driver "something" and change it to Driver "nvidia"
Press ESC to exit, choose save, restart X.

PS: Do a backup of the file before editing with this command: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.back
If you want to restore it, copy in reverse way: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.back /etc/X11/xorg.conf
