Motherboard Soltek:
------------------
- Had problem with adcansys SCSI card when some of the features on the motherboard are disabled.
But when these features are enabled, it's Win98 which has problem with the SCSI card.
Below the settings for Win98/LInux for making the SCSI card works:
WIN98 LINUX
On Chip USB2 disabled enabled
On Chip Sound disabled enabled
On Chip IDE Channel 1 disabled enabled
Onboard Legacy Audio disabled enabled
Assign IRQ For VGA disabled enabled
Assign IRQ For USB disbaled enabled

- The following rules apply (obtain from DELL P790 specs, reverse engineer, error message
from file /var/log/XFree86.0.log and man pages)
- vsync & hsync polarity vary between resolution. +/+ appears to be mostly used for high pixel freq.
(sometimes wrong polarity can lead to strange screen!!!)
- Modeline "LABEL" pixfreq hres hsyncstart hsyncend hmax vres vsyncstart vsyncend vmax
values are computed as follows:
- INPUT: HRES, VRES, VFREQ (=60,75,85,100 Hz)
--> vmax = vres * 1.05 (~link to monitor structure)
--> hmax = hres * 1.35 (~link to monitor structure)
--> hfreq = vmax * VFREQ
--> pixfreq = hfreq * hmax
Here are rule of the thumb for other parameters:
--> hsyncstart = hres + 16
--> hsyncend = (hres+hmax)/2
--> vsyncstart = vres
--> vsyncend = vres + (5..10) (low offset for small res, high offset for hires)
- CAUTION, the following shall apply (also depends on the card drivers)
--> hfreq, vfreq and pixfreq must be in limit supported by the monitor and the card
--> hmax must be mult of 4
--> H blank width (ie. max(hmax,hsyncend) - min (hres,hsyncstart) ) must be mult of 4
--> H sync width (ie. hsyncend-hsyncstart) must be < 256
- to shrink/stretch horizontally: must increase/decrease hmax (hence increasing/decrease #pixel
per lines)
- to move horizontally: increase/decrease hsyncstart (or maybe hsyncend depending on polarity)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POST-INSTALLATION CHANGES
============================================================================================
Configuration:
-------------
- setuid root /var/bin/smbmnt (to allow mounting smbfs by normal user)
- setuid root /var/bin/smbumount (to let unmounting them...)
- add local script for mounting phoenix W2k (/usr/local/bin/mntphoenix) (root/root/chmod 755)
& unmounting (/usr/local/bin/umntphoenix) (root/root/chmod 755)
! PROBLEM: SLOW PERFORMANCE !!! (50kB/s !!!)
- Installed package kernel k_deflt-2.4.16-22.i386.rpm
Installed package modutils-2.4.12-11.i386.rpm
Installed package resierfs-3.x.0k_pre10-8.i386.rpm
--> SOLVE PERFORMANCE ISSUE FOR SMBMOUNT (now 4MB/s !!!)
(source: http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/netserver/smbfs_faq.htm)
Problem: smbfs performance is poor for larger file transfers.
Solution:
Currently, Samba has a "bug" in the way it determines the appropriate blocksize to use
for file transfers. Only 512 bytes are transferred per read/write request, instead of
the normal 4K transfers. There is a partial fix for this problem in the 2.4.11 kernel.
Users who experience slow transfers should upgrade to at least this kernel level.
The smbclient utility is not affected by this problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Modified /etc/X11/XF86Config to allow wheel mouse support
- created symlink /dev/cdrecorder --> scd1 (for cdrdao)
ln -s /dev/scd1 /dev/cdrecorder
- Updated samba server configuration (added line: encrypt passwords=yes; added password with smbpasswd)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Downloaded & Installed ntop 2.0.0
- Downloaded & installed libpcap-0.7.1
- installed gdchart0.94c (came with ntop tar.gz)
- gd-1.8.3 was already installed
- installed zlib-1.1.3
- Create suse package ('make make-suse')
--> small error during makefile, missing target parent directory for intop.1 manpage
(WORKAROUND: create the missing directory, re-run makefile)
- Launch ntop at boot (set yes in rc.config)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Make cdrecord available to all users:
cdrecord can be safely setuid to root:
su
(cd to directory where cdrecord is installed)
chown root cdrecord
chmod 4711 cdrecord
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHELL STARTUP CONFIGURATION:
---------------------------
- added .cshrc (see file in config/cshrc)
in /root/
in ~baddreams/
in /etc/skel/
purpose: change history key bindings, clean up redundant entries in path
- added path.csh in /etc/profile.d/ (see file in config/path.csh)
purpose: complete path definition for all users with shells tcsh/csh
- added /etc/skel/.bashrc in /root/
added /etc/skel/.profile in /root/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X CONFIGURATION:
---------------
- Deactivated klipper URLGrabber:
in file .kde2/share/config/klipperrc:
...
URLGrabberEnabled=false
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCRIPTS ADDED IN /usr/local/bin:
-------------------------------
- noerr (to discard stderr output)
- iplog (to log & reject internet connections)
- mntphoenix & umntphoenix (to mount phoenix samba shares)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added new IDE CDROM in IDE-0, SLAVE:
-----------------------------------
New symlink:
- ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Activated autofs
----------------

2003-03-12 Configuration of the ADSL Firewall Router USB/4 PORTS SWITCH (BIPAC-741):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration of the Modem:
--------------------------
LAN Settings:
IP Address: default (ie. IP address=192.168.1.254, mask=255.255.255.0)
DHCP Server: DHCP enabled, start address=192.168.1.100, max. 100, DNS/WINS auto
WAN Settings:
ISP: Protocol: PPPoE, VPI:8, VCI:35
NAT enabled, Encapsulation Method: LLC/SNAP
User Name: *****
Password: *****
Service Name:
Specify an IP Address:
Authentication Protocol: AUTO
Connect on demand (auto-disconnect after 60 minutes)
DNS: Obtain a DNS address automatically
System Settings:
PASSWORD: ****
TIMEZONE: Brussels, apply daylight saving
LINUX Configuration:
-------------------
- LINUX PC will act as the mail server for the LAN (POP proxy), hence will receive a fixed IP address
- IP Address= 192.168.1.69 (ie. outside the DHCP range to avoid conflict)
- DNS = 192.168.1.254 (ie. the MODEM ITSELF!!! that will act as a DNS relay)
- ROUTE = default gateway is 192.168.1.254 (ie. the modem)
NOTE: MODEM DHCP Server is not compatible with DHCLIENT (some settings are accepted, but not all)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2003-07-05 Changed Samba configuration to sync. with new IP address (ADSL router)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--> change file /etc/samba.conf:
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127. (instead of 192.168.69. 127.)
interfaces = 192.168.1.69/24 (instead of 192.168.69.69/24)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2004-05-22 Enabled NFS Server
