[Cooker] RC1 - Still no sound for ES Maestro 2E chipsets
The output from the following commands is in the attached text file. lspcidrake -v lspci -v lsmod The attached file also lists the my /etc/modules.conf /dev/mixer appears to be non existant. I have attempted to setup the sound via drakconf's HardDrake. The result of this attempt was an error page being displayed. - /lib/modules/2.4.18-4mdk/drivers/sound/maestro.o.gz: init_module: No such device modprobe: insmod/lib/modules/2.4.18-4mdk/kernel/drives/sound/maestro.o.gz failed modprobe: insmod sound-slot-0 failed -- I am happy to provide additional details upon request otherwise I hope the attached info will be helpful in resolving this problem prior to 8.2 GOLD.

[Cooker] RC1 - Installation and drakconf still not detecting TridentCyberblade e4 (Trident 9540) video card properly
When attempting to configure my video card using the drakconf suite of tools, they are not identifying my video card properly. The card in question is a Trident Cyberblade e4 (Trident 9540). when using drakconf it's guess comes up with the card listed as other/unknown. When I manually choose trident/cyberblade (generic) it attempts to install XFree86 3.3.6 rather than 4.2.0. Attached is a working XF86Config-4 file that works with this video card/chipset and runs without issue under XFree86 4.*. Also attached is the output from the following commands: lspci -v lspcidrake -v lsmod Here is a quick and dirty work around to resolve this issue. 0. su to root 1. Install XFree86 Server 4.2 RPM (found on disk1 /Mandrake/RPMS/) 2. Delete the /usr/bin/X11/X symlink (points to Xwrapper) 3. Recreate /usr/bin/X11/X symlink and point it to /usr/bin/X11/XFree86 4. chmod +s XFree86 5. Copy the attached XF86Config-4 file to /etc/X11 6. Run startx and enjoy I am happy to provide additional details upon request otherwise I hope the attached info will be helpful in resolving this issue prior to 8.2 GOLD.

[Cooker] Mini-Commander Applet is defaulting to white text on whitebackground
the mini_commander_applet once added to the toolbar displays as white text on white background. Steps to reproduce this error (I'm sure there are other ways, this is just how my setup is) - this is being run as a standard user - no root priv's. 1. Convert the panel to type floating 2. Change tasklist properties to task width height to dynamic 3. run 'mini_commander_applet' to add the applet. 4. view results simple working fix. According to the mini-commander config, the default should be black background with white text. If you change the background and text to both black in the config you will end up with black text on white background. (NOTE: you can reproduce this within VMWare sessions as well). Joseph
