Re: [Cooker] XFree86 version for DrakX?
"Mattias Dahlberg" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi Franois, What version of XFree86 does DrakX use? 3.3.6. Why not 4.0.2? Is it too big? the main pb is that we don't want to include all the drivers for the different graphic which would be huge. So we only use the framebuffer version. Using 3.3.6 or 4.0.2 doesn't change the pb. Has there been thoughts of running DrakX on framebuffer version of either QT or Gtk? The Gtk one is really alpha (or worse). Won't be out before half a year. No more i810 so... No, but perhaps other advantages? Such as speed? Doesn't it take some valuable resources to get X running before the setup process? you're right, but we can't accept removing the i810 support which is used quite a lot. The only solution would be to include a framebuffer driver for non-vesa video card like the i810. Alas it must be included in the kernel and we really are short in space for the kernel (which must fit on a floppy together with a hell lot of modules :-( )

[Cooker] xalf LD_PRELOAD problem
Xalf alters LD_PRELOAD so that it'll contain libxalf. The absolute path is not set, however. If you start a gnome-terminal -or whatever -, even the simplest things - like su ;) - won't start, saying that it cannot locate libxalf If you do an "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libxalfxx", things work right. However, I don't think that hackin' around .bashrc and .cshrc is the proper way to handle this. Where on earth can I change that _globally_, please? p00h
RE: [Cooker] REALLY need a nongui MandrakeUpdate
I agree with this. That is what is mainly lacking. It would be nice if there is the apt-get tool version for RPM to use for the servers. MandrakeUpdate is nice, but we really need the console based version, instead of the GUI, with list of file watcher so that it knows where to update when it become available.

That's not what I saw - it was jerking randomly around the screen, with a tendency towards the top right. Not confined anywhere, just not moving properly.

Hi Brian, Wow! Only 106 packages. Yup. And like I said, that was with really no effort (in paring down) which means it is likely too much.

Install CD #1 has 929 packages and #2 has 734 packages. So my development machine has only 1/3 of the available packages. My firewall machine has 211 packages, which includes perl, python, gcc, apache, etc, etc. Undoubtedly both machines could be trimmed down ...

[Cooker] installation - to fast?
Hi This is probably a very stupid question, and if so I apologize. Since I changed machine I have had extremely fast tours through the installation, so I am beginning to assume that it sometimes jumps ahead. During the last installation, 20010120, there was no expert choice for type. After the large packages it jumped directly to the installation, so individual packages was skipped. Earlier my single Planet PCI rtl8139 was given two connections, eth0 and eth1 with 8139too and rtl8139 respectively, now one with 8139too. Does parts of the installation start as free processes in a multi-user mode, so that some are not finished when the leading one races on? I have a PIII 933 on a ASUS P3V4X with 256 MB ECC memory at 133 MHz. regards guran

I stupidly neglected to write it down. I am now beginning to suspect that
it is an NT/large disk problem instead: the disk is larger than the INT13

INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. Vague memories of NT4 having problems with

[Cooker] Power management problems
I'm having a few problems with power management (APM). I'm using kernel-2.4.0-5mdk. Someone set it to 'Hardware clock uses GMT', which means if I enter suspend state my clock gets set up 7 hours (I'm not sure why I'm in GMT-5). I'd love to store my clock in GMT, but I can't because I have Windows on the same PC and it can't deal with this. Also, I can only enter suspend manually by pressing the power button (set in the BIOS to suspend). RTC support is not loaded automatically, but maybe I just need the corect alias command for rtc.o. This would let the `apmsleep' command work. I have a serial mouse and it sems this is keeping the PC from entering suspend on it's own. If I disable GPM it works. I can't be in X at the time, only in console, so I assume this may also be because of the X mouse driver. And I get a couple problems when coming out of suspend. I'll get 'gpm[613]: Skipping a data packet (?)' and 'USB device not accepting new address' (only after the resume). Otherwise the USB port detection seems like it went well, and gpm works fine too, aside from not allowing my PC to enter suspend when it should be. There is currently no devices plugged into the USB ports, so I'm not very worried about USB right now. I am worried about having to leave my PC on for days and days and never having it be able to suspend. I could disable gpm and make sure it's in console, but I like gpm, I don't know why this is happening. -- Sincerely, David Walluck [EMAIL PROTECTED]
