People at MandrakeSoft: Hear, hear!

Please listen to Arnds suggestion. Linux-Mandrake 8.0 needs this.

[Cooker] AC'97 Audio

[mda]

After a cooker install I always get kudzu telling me it discovered "Intel 
Corporation|82801AA AC'97 Audio" hardware, which is what I have.

Does that mean that DrakX missed it?

I still get no sound though. I have to run sndconfig which adds the missing 
line "alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio" to modules.conf. After _that_ everything 
works fine.

What info do you need to get the L-M installation to do this on its own?

Well, Ed, beta 2 already includes XFree -11mdk. Hopefully it will be fixed in 
4.0.3-1mdk.

It doesn't really matter. The fonts that MandrakeSoft chosed to use *before* QT 
2.3 were terrible as well. The fixed font, anyone? The font sizes in Konqueror, 
anyone? My hope is that MandrakeSoft have scheduled a "font day" sometime in 
the coming days to shape the whole thing up, and that we just have to wait a 
little while and stop the whining. :)

[Cooker] Beta 2 and Matrox G400 means total darkness.

Talk about surprise. After the booting process and when X is started everything 
turns black. Matrox G400 32MB. Not what I expected from a second beta. :)
