Dear Cookers (and others),

I write this solely out of a desire to see Mandrake become the BEST desktop Linux distro out there. I have only used Mandrake on my own systems and have been a Cooker for almost a year now. I am an active reader (and occasional participant) on this list.

I have run across some situations which I hope will help the Mandrake team make the distro even better. I have personally had several scenarios where the Knoppix hardware detection and automatic default configuration were FAR superior to Mandrakes, which is sad as Knoppix has 1 lead developer and is not even aimed at being a full blown distro but only a live Linux Demo CD.

Case in point. I just installed 9.0 on my brand new Asus L2400D laptop. Problem is, even though the SIS 630 Video card is detected, the default (and all subsequent tested combinations) configuration is totaly unacceptable as the screen res is too low. There is an error when I try to go to a higher screen res/color depth so my only remaining option (in Mandrake) is to leave it at 800x600 and the lowest possible color depth which I can't recall off the top of my head. I tried every combination available and many times, when I would try and test it, X would fall over to the point that I had to just reboot. I think that the test within MCC (if it doesn't work) should automagically return me to the configuration options if it times out instead. Plus, Mandrake (to my knowlege) has never stated when X is tested what the user SHOULD be seeing if the configuration is correct, so they are left to guess. Even I, who have used Mdk for quite a while was left wondering when they went from horizontal lines of penquines within a rainbow to a vertical rainbow.

Thinking this was unacceptable, I loaded up Knoppix (just to try a few theories I had) and copied the Xfree config files Knoppix had created to my hard drive. Once I rebooted into Mandrake, I renamed out the Mandrake config files as .orig and put in the Knoppix ones. I restarted X to find a gorgeous screen with great resolution and color depth. Now admittedly, this is at a default of 1024x768 but I'll take a functional default over every option (that doesn't work) in the book. I realise that Mandrake has to allow for user defined variables but I find it sad that a Live CD has (in many instances, especially on laptops) far superior hardware detection/setup utilites than Mandrake.

IMHO, perhaps Mandrake needs to take some of the flexibility out of the installation process and ensure that their install is as effective as Knoppix. Laptops are a bugger, I realize, but surely, Mandrake, with a virtual phalanx of talented developers should be able to do better than 1 person working part time on a live CD.

I think if Mandrake could achieve that level of autodetection/configuration (but still allow power users to make/test changes after the fact) then it would quickly rise to the top as the single best desktop distro on offer. It's the little things that keep users from moving in droves I believe. A newbie would never bother (or be able) to go to the trouble I went to to get Linux running well on their system. And since (unlike Winblows) a newbie can't usually ring their neighbor for help, the distro must be as idiot proof as possible for newbies.

I attach my XFree config files for your examination as I am not a coder so can't really tell you why Knoppix worked well and MDK didn't. The .orig files are the MDK ones, the others are my files that I copied from Knoppix.

I hope this helps and wish Mandrake and all of its developers all the very best over the Christmas and Holiday Season.

Kind Regards,

Jason Greenwood
