Hello all, I have been running Mandrake Linux since it's 7.2 release. I never had problems untill I upgraded to v8.1.
I am running the following: An MSI 6163 Lite (VIA Chipset) M/B (with a Creative CT5880 Sound Card onboard) 533 MHz Intel Celleron CPU 128 MB RAM 1 15 GB Quantum HD, 1 20 GB Quantum HD Creative Sound Blaster 128 PCI A CTX PR705F Monitor. Win98SE and, of course, MDK 8.1. I have migrated from M$ 6 months ago and was very happy with the move. My problems with 8.1 are as follow: Some times the whole desktop (KDE) freezes, nothing helps but the reset bottun. Afer every boot, I have to run sndconfig and restart the sound service for the KMix app to work under X. I have the Onboard CT5880 disabled. I can hear the MPEG movies I play with plaympeg, but not see them... The Konqueror Browser (both the KFM and the WEB parts) stop working after a few times of use, I have to exit X, su and delete DCOP random seeds and user files under /tmp. All of these are really annoying. I am wondering, should I go back to v8.0 ? Thanks, -- Amichai. (SBY)
