arf, sorry, sound config's rather new and made a confusion :( BTW, snd-emu10k1 
was configured by default w/ kernel-enterprise but no sound came to my 
hears...
So gonna urpmize smp-mm and play a little with sound drivers before disturbing 
again...

That's what I did and everything went nicely ! :-))) Actually, I didn't even 
made the "standalone" urpmi urpmi, but straightly did a urpmi --auto-select 
--auto --no-verify-rpm (aren't we here to test things ?! ;-)

AFAIC, had no such troubles :-)

BTW, given a try yesterday to various kernel available (enterprise, mm, tmb & 
2.6) and the box boots on each :-)
Always used enterprise to enjoy my Gb ram but, on a first try, couldn't have 
audigy driver running :(
So, I'm actually using 2.4.22-10mm with wich my Audigy Platinum works out of 
the box with audigy driver (nice dvd experience with xine, xmms works with 
libao output - not with alsa, alsaplayer reads CDs w/o troubles, but 
alsamixer crashes complaining with "snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such 
file or directory" and have no sound with grip) . The only thing is that, 
with mm, I'm stuck to 896 Mb Ram ! Not that I need the rest every days, but 
from my point of view, a _MultiMedia_ dedicated kernel (the one you're 
supposed to run to make video, audio, 3D... stuff isn't it ?) should 
definitely support one or two gigz Ram !? Or maybe the smp multimedia kernel 
does and I can run it on my single cpu box ?

Finally, IIUC, lufs support is included in mm kernel... but I can't find the 
liblufs(-devel) and lufs-tools any more nor documentation on how to use the 
module. Could so enlighten me a little please ? Still have 
lufs-0.9.5-1mdk.src.rpm, liblufs(-devel)-0.9.5-1mdk.i586.rpm and 
lufs-tools-0.9.5-1mdk.i586.rpm here, can I drop them ? Any help would be nice 
'cause I'd realy like to play with sshfs (don't even tell me about nfs ! this 
*thing* just sux !) before having to acces my job server remotely...

This is (once again) going to be a great release, softs are getting more and 
more mature, the distro makes life with a penguin always easier   (much 
than with a dog ! LOL - see the hurricane @ http://bookmax.free.fr)

Many thanks to yall Mandrakerz (devz, contribz, etc...), keep on running ! 
:-)))

Re: [Cooker] Qt2 in contribs?

[Tarax]

Hi,

Think it should be a good idea too... many apps still rely on Qt2 and it would be time 
saving
to have built in support for this (ATI's Radeon control panel does). At least for the 
next year,
depending on apps' migration rate, it would be a good choice for backward 
compatibility.

Best regards,
Jérémie

Re: [Cooker] Probando MandrakeLinux-9.0 beta4

[Tarax]

Hi all,
 
I have exactly the same pb: set X to launch automatically during install (got 
a ATI Radeon 8500 64Mo with XFree86 Radeon driver), the system boots well, 
kdm appears... and then, wich user account I choose, X starts and a few 
seconds latter crashes and send me to tty1 with the login prompt.
Then, again like Manuel, connecting on tty1 and doing "startx" X launches and 
is now running for 3 days without any pbs.
In my case, with this last method, I've never had pbs with sound, mouse or 
internet cnx°

Hoping there'll be a fix for this... GREAT WORK GUYS, this 9.0 promises to be 
a "Grand Cru" !!! ;-)
