Re: [Cooker] X problem
The ATI All IN Wonder 128 does not use the Mach64 chipset. It uses the newer Rage128 chipset. Better check which video card you REALLY have. i have the Xpert2000 card (also Rage128 with 32 megs) and Mandrake auto recognizes it fine. >Taras Glek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > There is one very annoying problem with the current DrakX.

I think it picked up the Mach64 server. -- Guillaume Cottenceau

There is one very annoying problem with the current DrakX. It selects the SVGA server for AllInWonder 128(16Meg) instead of Mach 64. SVGA one doesn't work Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1

Re: [Cooker] X problem
It already had ttf support? How do you set it up? I tried putting my windows fonts directory into /etc/X11/fs/config but I didn't see any results. Is there a howto or something like that around? I don't like how Netscape has screwy fonts...

[Cooker] X problem
Hi I have Cooker and I have gotten myself into a problem: I switched the font server to xfstt (for true type fonts) and now X will not start because it can't find it's default font. What I'd like to know is where the configuration for the default X font is so that I can change it. As it is, I can't use linux at all because I had it set to start X when I boot linux but now it just sits there trying to connect to the X server. I have to reboot to stop it. The only access I have is through Windows but I can edit files through a program I picked up that gives you read/write access to an ext2 drive. Thankyou Eddy Cooper
