Hi,
I have Mandrake 8.1 on a Dell i8100 with an ATI Radeon video
card. It is currently running XFree86-4.1.0 and only has very
generic support for the card. Apparently there is a better
driver in XFree86-4.2.0
Am I on the right track? I have been fining quite a few of the
files that are needed however each time I find one there are more
dependencies. I am happy to keep finding more e.g: libtinfo.so.5
- but what about the programs such as libXv.so.1 that are needed
by other programs on the system?
Has anyone upgraded Mandrake 8.1 to XFree86-4.2.0? Can it be
done? Should I upgrade to a whole new Mandrake beta? Am I using
the right commands here? (See output below)
Looking forward to some feedback!
Thanks
Walter
