Cant get Falkin's Eye to run after I installed Knoppix
Seeing that no one wanted to help me, i's ask again...
Falkin's eye became my favorite game for some reason and I Can't get it to run after I Installed Knoppix.
it goes to the first screen then it quits.

Re: Cant get Falkin's Eye to run after I installed Knoppix
--Did you do apt-get update; apt-get upgrade?
If so: Find out what the previous version of the game was on the CD (here, I got it from the 7-26 cd for you), and ' apt-get install falconseye=1.9.3-12 falconseye-data=1.9.3-12 '
--If not, try the upgrade and see if the pkg gets updated.
Last resort: Try ' apt-get install falconseye/unstable '
REALLY last resort: Try ' apt-get install falconseye/stable '. Altho the pkg will go to the next rev when you do upgrade again, unless you put a Hold on it in aptitude or synaptic.

--New Knoppix 2003-09-05 is now out there; pick up the ISO and give it a try. Falconseye is the same version as 7-26 but maybe it will run.

Re: OK
--I found a cheapie for you; can you afford $30? 56K serial external Intel-chipset faxmodem, +shipping.
http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_g...17b2f659028641
(google is your friend; this modem even mentions Linux in the "Read more" tech specs)
--Plus if you do invest in an external, you are pretty much guaranteed to get it working with *any* linux computer that has a serial port, and thus can be used in the future on other boxes. Even tho I have DSL, I invested in an external 56K JIC, in case I need it down the road.
--Also, I'm thinking it could be a memory problem for Falconseye. Try using a more lightweight WM like icewm instead of KDE (especially if you only have 64-128Meg of RAM) and run the game from rxvt (lightweight terminal.) I usually just type ' falc' and hit Tab to let bash complete the filename.
--Now, if you've read this far and moaned to yourself, "I just CAN'T afford 30-40 bucks for a bloody modem!" see this thread:
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2050#10274
--Then when you get the $$, go and buy a/the modem. I guarantee you will get better thruput and less CPU usage with a true hardware modem. (Personally, I got so frustrated with the crappy winmodem on my mobo dropping the connection alla time that I jerked it out of the slot and threw it away.)

Thank You, Dave
I will look into that modem
and i Ran it from the Console and it wored, but i guess i can't get MIDI, Knopix Won't configure my sound card, nor will it work with my Video card, nor with my web cam, i have to use VESA for the video and ALSA for the Audio, I wish someone out there would make some DRIVERS for my hardware
