[Cooker] installation notes
I am one of lucky people that has the misfortune of owing a pcchips super integrated boards The onboard graphics with xfree 4.0.3 is rubbish, loads of screen distortion xfree 3.3.6 seems to work fine. Well actually not, in kde. I know this is a problem with the xfree not, kde but clicking and dragging around the screen causes the screen to blacken. Although there is a solution and that is to change the kde style to something less graphics intensive, like motif style. I sent that bug report to kde before but I guess nothing was done about it. The kernel cmedia drivers included with 8.0beta3(using 2.4.2) seem to be a bit buggy (well they actually have always been like that in previous mandrakes as well) for example they 'cut out' when playing mp3's with xmms. The alsa 'cmipci' drivers work fine, maybe these could be enabled by default Andrew Kirrage
[Cooker] kppp doesnt work with normal user (kde2 beta 4)
When logged on as a normal user( not root), kppp doesnt work in the current kde2 beta . Firstly it says 'unable to open lock file'. Then when I untick the use lock file box it says 'unable to open modem' Thanks Andrew
[Cooker] kdevelop with kde2 beta
I have installed kde2 beta4 from the cooker, but kdevelop seems to be missing(looking at the kde site their seems to be a redhat package but not a mandrake specific one). I installed the kde1-compat and kde1-compat -devel so i could run the older kdevelop(1.1) but I get this error message: kdevelop: error in loading shared libraries: kdevelop: undefined symbol: __ti15KRestrictedLine is there any other packages i have to install? Thanks Andrew Kirrage
