Not sure what video card your machine has but I think it should work
with XFree86. However, what you need to keep in mind is that in many
cases the technical details for Apple machines are sketchy... so the
support for hardware can be equally sketchy. But in most cases video
cards are identicaly to the PC versions and are supported fine. But
there are always exceptions to the rule.
Xconfiguratior is a RedHat tool. It has been phased out over the past
several Mandrake versions and replaced with Mandrake's X Configuration
tool: XFdrake.
I've an iMac 400 DV SE with 128mb of ram, and an old iMac style italian
keyboard.
I set it as an US keyboard cause I can use it better: also if I set it
as a IT keyboard
I get the PC keyboard, not the mac one. But .. it works very fin in the
shell.. but not
in X11 .. all the keymap is wrong, and the only way to make it works is
set up it in the
kde control panel. it works fine but if i press space once it still
pressed until i press
backspace or another letter .. (ie: cd /)
if i use the arrows i get some numbers (the keypad ones, hmm.. i should
try to press block num :p) but..
i can't use any game or go up and down in the command history of xterm ..
No idea here.
i've an usb modem that is supported by 2.4 kernel : Draytek
isdnVigor128 ..
on the hardware list of mandrake control center i see it good under
isdn devices
but, how to use it with kppp ??
I would imagine your modem will show up as a USB tty device. tail the
/var/log/messsages file while the modem isn't plugged into the machine.
Then plug it in. Many times the driver will tell you the path to the
device that it's installed the USB modem as. But I don't personally
have any of this hardware so I don't have any experience with USB
modems just other USB hardware.
sometimes by default I can't mount the cd using the kde desktop link
cause my user haven't the privileges
to do it ..
i try to use: userconf, userdrak, mandrake control center (mount
points/dvd) but, nothing to do!
No idea.
for PPP connection, is DNS needded ? the installer say optional ..
but .. before on linux ppc I had
to setup them.
In most cases DNS servers are assigned automatically via DHCP. If they
are then they are optional. If they are not assigned via DHCP then you
need to enter them.
oh, about linux ppc .. can I install the linux ppc rpms on mandrake
ppc ? I'd like to have the matrix
screensaver and xevil ..
Probably not a great idea but I believe they are still binary compatable
in 8.2/ppc. But I wouldn't count on that in future versions as soon as
Mandrake releases a PPC version using the newer gcc.
