I have an IBM ThinkPad 1450 with Swedish keyboard layout. Graphics is a Neomagic chipset with 2 megs. It has a trackpoint pointing device. Furhtermore it has USB and a 3Com Ethernet PC-card. Installing previous Mandrake versions (and Stormix) met with no difficulties on this machine. Installing download version LM 8 went smooth until configuration of XFree; mouse detection was not an issue with this model, it seems. In expert install mode I tried both XFree 3.3.6 and 4.0.3 but couldn't find any configuration that would work when testing XFree setup. The installer then complained about failure to load XKB. I decided to go for 3.3.6 (I read somewhere that Neomagic support is missing in 4.0.3) with generic LCD display at 1024 x 768 (65k), SVGA server (Neomagic), Swedish keyboard layout (also tried American and Finnish) and PS2 mouse. I quit XFree setup and went on with the rest of the install. At reboot it fails to start XFree. At the prompt it says: INIT: "x" respawning to fast - disabled for 5 minutes (which is then repeated at five minute intervals). Issuing the startx command results in an error message complaining about failure to load shared library libXi.so.6 - file or directory doesn't exist. Searching for this library at rmpfind turns up XFree86-lib as a result but for Mandrake no 3.3.6 version (neither on any of the install CDs). Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance, Niklas
