[Cooker] xscreensaver's penetrate locks the x-server
Good day folks. It would seem that the "penetrate" module of xscreensaver is locking my X-server solid. I need to kill X with a -9 to get another server running. X even locks if penetrate is not run in a root window (no "-root" on the command line). It seems to lock right at the part where it says (in overlapped text) "Level I cleared".

glibc-devel-2.1.3-0.2mdk.i586.rpm
glibc-profile-2.1.3-0.2mdk.i586.rpm
and all my gtk-apps say:
Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
perl say:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "fr",
LC_ALL = "fr_FR",
LANG = "fr"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
and when i want delete file:
rm cv.pl~
rm: détruire `cv.pl~'? o
the file isn't deleted, i must answer 'y' for do it.
What's the solution pleazz ?
Thanx,

[Cooker] initscripts trouble
Hello, Call me old fashioned but suuurely fsck cannot be done on a boot partition if the boot partition is mounted !? If this is the case then : # if /boot is on a partition of his own, mount it now if grep -q '/boot' /etc/fstab /dev/null ; then mount /boot fi from rc.sysinit (from initscripts-4.97-4mdk) should come after the attempt to do fsck on it ! Well, that's what I have to do to get my system to even boot with initscripts-4.97-4mdk. Also., the 'Del' and 'End' keys no longer work at the non X level, whatever the technical term for that is. They work fine under X, but when not in X all they produce is Beep ~ :( This is one reason I have stayed clear of Red Hat initscripts. I was hoping, when I saw that Mandrake were at the 97 level, that this would have been fixed. To be honest about it it's beyond my knowledge base to correct this problem. I've tried everything I can find to fix this problem in the past, including trawling through Red Hat's own knowledge base. My keyborad was just fine on the old initscripts (i.e. pre 97), so nothing physical has changed. I cannot believe I am the only one experiencing this, so I guess it's another area of knowledge I am lacking. If anyone can fill this gap in my knowledge I would be extremely grateful. Thanks, Owen

Re: [Cooker] XFree86 4.0
I have alot of questions concerning the new X and how to properly set it up on a mandrake 7 system. I hit the lockup with the font server that is described earlier in this thread and proceded to reinstall The reason I am going to the new server is due my need to support two monitors with xineramia under linux. I have an Intel 810 chipset controlling my primary video and a ATI Mach64VT for the secondary card. My questions are, Does the latest kernel release from cooker support the agpgart.o module? Does anyone have a sample XF86Config file that supports multi-head so that I can have a starting point? Are there any reasons not to use Mandrake as the base system for this? Is anyone working on a Xconfiguration program that supports the i810 and/or multi-head? Is there a time frame for Mandrake to release a 7.1 or upgrades that will incorporate the new changes?

Sorry about firing this off to the list... I'm not sure I trust the email address for "root"... ;o) I got as far as XFree86 -config /root/XFreeConfig.new and the gray pixelated screen with a mouse pointer came up (yes the mouse worked) and stayed like that for a good 5 minutes..I finally did "ctrl alt backspace" I tried starting X and all I got was the message some thing like "ServerLayout" not a valid section name did you run into this ? if so how did you get past it? BTW..I'm using a 3dFX Voodoo# 2000 TIA Mike Julien Well, since I have a Voodoo3 2000 card, here's my XF86Config-4 (sorry, I usually strip the comments): Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" FontPath"unix/:-1" EndSection Section "Module" Load"dbe" load"extmod" Load"type1" Load"freetype" Load"glx" Load"dri" EndSection Section "DRI" mode0666 EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "DisableVidModeExtension" Option "blank time""10" Option "standby time" "20" Option "suspend time" "30" Option "off time" "60" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "keyboard" # Option"AutoRepeat""100 5" # Option"XkbRules" "xfree86" # Option"XkbModel" "pc101" # Option"XkbLayout" "us" # Option"XkbVariant""" # Option"XkbOptions""" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Device""/dev/mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Goldstar" HorizSync 30-65 VertRefresh 50-120 Modeline "640x480" 45.8 640 672 768 864 480 488 494 530 Modeline "800x600" 69.65 800 864 928 1088 600 604 610 640 Modeline "1024x768" 851024 1032 1152 1360 768 784 787 823 Modeline "1280x1024" 110 1280 1328 1512 1712 1024 1025 1028 1054 Modeline "1376x1032" 110 1376 1424 1608 1808 1032 1033 1035 1072 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Voodoo3" Driver "tdfx" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Main" Device "Voodoo3" Monitor "Goldstar" DefaultDepth 16 Subsection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1376x1032" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1376x1032" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1376x1032" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1376x1032" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "1376x1032" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection
Re: [Cooker] sawmill-0.25.1
Thanks Thierry! That did it. Now, what should I do... How do I post the new rpms!?! may I post them, who controls and souble-checks them!?! Patrick Patrick Poncet wrote: I need help!!! sawmill-0.25.1 not working since I upgraded to librep-0.11-1 it's missing librep.so.7... I tried symbolic link librep.so.7->librep.so.8.0.0 but no go :((( Is it an unfortunate mistake for the new librep package to not contain librep.so.7 ... do I have to downgrade librep, librep, rep-gtk, rep-gtk-libglade and rep-gtk-gnome???
