Mar 23, 2010I was trying to setup my Brother DCP-135C to scan for Slackware 13.0 (stable, with patches) These are the following steps taken:
1. Download the brscan2-0.2.5-1.i386.deb and brscan-skey-0.2.1-3.i386.deb driver files from [URL]
2. Use the command "ar x" to extract files from the driver files. Used "tar xvf" on data.tar.gz files to unpack the actual files to be installed. Used "tar xvf" to look into control.tar.gz to know what command to run post installation. Repacked them into Slackware packages using makepkg.
3. Depending on how the drivers are repacked, you might need to run these commands (hints take from control.tar.gz)
# /usr/local/Brother/sane/setupSaneScan2 -i
# /usr/local/Brother/sane/brscan-skey-0.2.1-3.sh 0
4. Added the following line in /lib/udev/rules.d/80-libsane.rules. I added these lines near other definitions of Brother devices.
# Brother DCP-135C
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="01ce", MODE="0666", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
5. ensure your userid is part of group "scanner". Run xsane.
Slackware :: Run Slackware From SD Card - Tmpfs / Ramfs
Jan 15, 2011I was just given a dell mini 9. Joy a new toy The SSD has failed, so I installed Slackware -current to a 2GiB SD card. Everything is working fine except I'm worried about killing the flash drive due to excessive read-writes. Not being concerned with persistent storage, I've mounted a couple of dir's to ramfs -
[Code]....
I'd love to mount the entire drive as read only. Then certain directories that need written to as ramfs. However this mini 9 only has 512MiB, and I'm affraid I'll quickly run out of space. I am not using swap. ramfs and tmpfs are new concepts to me. I did a little research, but was hoping for some user input on their experiences.
Slackware :: Can't Use Wireless Card
Jul 12, 2011My computer is ThinkPad SL400 and the wireless card is AR5001 wireless network adapter (Atheros Communications Inc.). I now use slackware13.37. I can't make the wireless card work and the indicator light is always out. In Windows7, the wireless card can work. Doesn't the kernel 2.6.37 support ath5k? I find the webpage [URL], but I don't know whether I should download the relevant driver or the kernel has already possessed the driver and the only thing to do is activate it.

Slackware :: New LAN Card And Eth0 Disappears
Jan 13, 2010I have been running an IBM etherjet 100/10 card for several years in a system with the motherboard's VIA Rhine LAN disabled. But, now the etherjet went bad, eeprom corrupted error in system log, so I removeed it and enabled the VIA Rhine on the motherboard.
However, when I boot slackware 13 , smp huge kernel (I have not got around to building custom for this system), I no longer have eth0, only lo.

Slackware :: SD Card Mount Name Garbled?
Mar 9, 2011I'm on slackware 13.1 using XFCE for my desktop manager. Out of the box, verything is configured to just mount any device by some name the system determine. If the device has no labels, it may just say "160GB" or "SD/MMC".
It was working fine but all of a sudden, my SD card started appearing with "1(LA" in place of something like "SD/MMC". I've tried rebooting, remounting but haven't figured out how to fix this.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Put A Radeon 8500DV Card In Slackware Box?
Aug 6, 2010I decided to put a Radeon 8500DV card in my Slackware box. Works fine with the Vesa driver. Problem is, I'm using a widescreen monitor, and Vesa doesn't support my default resolution (1366x768). So I thought I'd do a little editing in my xorg.conf file and fix it right up.
I logged on as root, and did "X -configure", then I went in and edited the file it made me and put in the appropriate values for my monitor and resolution. And then it copied it over my xorg.conf file, and typed startx. Voila! Looked great, and I checked the settings to be sure I was in 1366x768. It worked fine!
Once.
Then I logged out and tried "startx" with my user account. As soon as I do, my monitor displays "No Signal"... weird - cause it just worked. So I rebooted, and logged on as root, and tried startx again. "No Signal"
So why would it work just once and not again. I tried repeating my steps exactly, and still can't get it to come up.
Here is the xorg.conf I used when it did work:

I tried removing the Card1 and Screen1 sections (since they are invalid), but that made no difference.
Slackware :: Video Settings On Dual-dvi Out Card
Feb 2, 2011Finally replaced my incredibly antiquated Ti 4200 with a GeForce 9600 GT, but I'm having a few problems. The main one would be that I can't see anything when I drop to terminal (the monitor shuts off)- I could when I had a spare svga monitor hooked up through an adapter, but now I'm using dual DVI monitors. Do not have an svga cable to spare at the moment. The second seems to be a doublethink problem- a good while back when this computer was a fresh install, I could have sworn I had the option for the resolution 1680x1024- this is an *essential* resolution for twinview, because my second monitor is 1280x1024, and setting this widescreen to 5:4 is just... wrong.Simple restart solved the terminal issue (I hotplugged the monitors). Resolution thing is still a standing issue. I have a 1050 capable monitor, but the display portion is an inch shorter than the widescreen.

Oct 11, 2010I'm putting this here because it's so weird nobody will think of it, and I need help. I installed Slackware 13.1 a couple of months back. Today, I decided I wanted to hear something. But the video card's hdmi thing took over as the sound device. lsmod sees more snd modules than you've had hot dinners (all ac97 stuff & hda_intel stuff)ls /dev/dsp* just showed /dev/dsp1The sound is some crappy little ac97 thing (CMI9761A) and the video is an ATI/AMD hd4650. I got the ac97 'back' by removing agpgart from the /etc/rc.d/rc.modules script :-o, Now I have /dev/dsp (only) and sound works

View 3 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: ATI Radeon X700 DRI / ATI Card Configuration/driver?
May 11, 2010I am setting up a system that I was recently given and am having some problems with the ATI card configuration/driver (I think).
THE SYSTEM
System is P4 3.0Ghz, 1GB RAM, 200GB SATA with new full install of Slackware 13, Fluxbox WM/DE.
Code:
lspci lines:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV410 [Radeon X700 Pro (PCIE)]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV410 [Radeon X700 Pro (PCIE)] (Secondary)
I have read a lot of things that seem confusing to me, but I have set it up mostly with info from slackwiki.org, and after reading various threads here at LQ.
I am using an xorg.conf created with Xorg -configure, with the radeon driver and have added the DRI section and enabled options per the above URL.
THE SYMPTOMS
First, X starts and I can run glxgears and get a frame rate of 3100+.
But glxinfo seems incorrect:
Code:
glxinfo |grep -i render
GL_RENDERER: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
I see no "direct rendering: yes" as seems to be required (am I missing something?).
Most things seem to work such as video playback from DVD and Flash.
At boot the vesa modes do not work and I have to use vga=normal, which is no big problem, although a better framebuffer mode would be nice if possible.
But the first big problem I hit is running Blender. When it starts my screen goes blank with just the mouse cursor visible and moving. To get out of this I can kill X or ctl-alt-Fx to get a new login and kill the blender process. Oddly, I found I can also alt-F2 (Open a Run dialog in Fluxbox) which opens with a running Blender behind it - but any attempt to interact with the blender window reverts to the blank screen with mouse cursor.
I believe this to be due to the lack of DRI mostly because of a similar problem once encountered on another system - but am open to other suggestions.
But I think I need to better understand and configure the drivers for this video card before troubleshooting any applications.
So, I guess my questions would be:
1. Is the radeon driver the best choice for this card?
2. Are there advantages/disadvantages to using the ATI driver instead? (Is there a slackbuild for the proprietary driver?)
3. Can someone point me to any better sources of info for ATI cards/drivers used under Slackware?
