I see 32mb of ram there... =) So do I, but DrakConf detects the card as a G400 with 16MB. This is only a very minor annoyance to me, but it doesn't inspire confidence in the operating system -- -- Peter Ruskin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wrexham, UK KDE - the professionals' choice --

Me too - my Matrox G400-32 always gets detected as having 16MB RAM - here's my output: [23:11 peter@penguin:~]$ su -c "ddcxinfos | head -1" Password: 32768KB of video ram -- -- Peter Ruskin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wrexham, UK KDE - the professionals' choice --

Re: [Cooker] Experiences with odyssey-rc
Pixel, ddcxinfos | head -1 gives "2048KB of video ram" whereas on my Mandrake 7.1 system it gives the correct answer of "8192KB of video ram". This is another indication that this is the same problem we worked on without resolution with 7.2beta3 and which seemed to affect the whole family of Matrox cards.

[Cooker] Experiences with odyssey-rc
Install from hd.img of odyssey-rc-inst.iso on SCSI (Adaptec 2940) system with Matrox Millennium - 8MB and SB AWE-32 PnP sound card using recommended install. The "Select Partition" window says "select partition and directory where Mandrake/RPMS is located", but for an iso image installation this is a bit confusing; one must enter the full path to the iso image including its filename. Perhaps the install routine should look in the specified directory for a suitable ISO image when the ISO image button is pressed. As is, it gives a cryptic error message. Also, I am puzzled by the purpose of the SCSI button. Since RedHat's simple install destroys all previous Linux partitions, Mandrake might note in the help message that the installer will retain sufficient control in the recommended install to protect exitsing Linux systems in other partitions. I was nervous about trying the recommended installation because of the way RedHat does it. On my Matrox, as I noted in an earlier message with respect to beta-3 on this mail list, Aurora fails. This failure mode is the same on Odyssey-rc. I needed to do vga=extended but the normal new user will struggle to figure that out. My DSL and HP-5L printer were correctly configured. Congratulations! My Sound card SoundBlaster AWE-32 PnP didn't get setup and I was unable to set up it with HardDrake (perhaps my lack of skill, but good old sndconfig always made it so easy). I notice that sndconfig is not installed. As noted in an earlier message on Beta-3, my Matrox's 8MB is still not recognized. This limits the resolution of the installed system and fouls up the behavior of the X configuration options in DrakConf. I certainly hope these can be fixed for the next release.
