Have u used X 4...? Ok, i tried 3.3.6 w/expirmental accelleration again... no go...: execve failed for etc/X11/X (errno 2) giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to x server xinit: No such process (errno 3): server error I chose the following settings: Generic LCD 1400x1050 ATI Rage Mobility P 16bit colour @ 1400x1050 XF86 3.3.6 w/ 3d accel. This used to work, and I want my 3D accelleration back :( I tried with xfree 4.1.0 and it worked fine. See, I told u. =) Thats why I like Mandrake distribution - new!

I've got an Inspiron 8000 with the r128, using X4 works great at 1400x1050, never tried X3 with it. I've never used accel gfx with it but I can't imagine it'd be any harder to do with x4.

Re: [Cooker] problems w/ Inspiron 7500 as of 08/15 cooker
Yes, do please expand on that. I though the some Mobility chipsets are no longer accelerated. To accelerate them you have to go back XF 3.3.6 :-( Owen On Thursday 16 Aug 2001 6:56 pm, you wrote: Care to expand on that? :) -Chris -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bill Noyce Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 12:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Cooker] problems w/ Inspiron 7500 as of 08/15 cooker On Thursday 16 August 2001 06:38, you wrote: Have u used X 4...?

Quoting Chris Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Here are my results as of 08/15 (today) with the Inspiron 7500: ATI Rage Mobility -P 1400x1050 P3 700 ReiserFS 2.4.8mdk-4 KDE2.2 XFree86 3.3.6 w/ Experimental 3D support Problems: 1. Hitting Cancel during the X config screen in install (Resolution screen only) will restartx config and return and error (invalid pixmap). Hitting cancel on the other screens will go to the more advanced x config screen. 2. After configuring X, I will boot up.. and startx... it dies during startx.: execve failed for etc/x11/x (errno 2) this is after a minimal install (everything de-selected (main menu, not individual package selection) except kde Anything i'm doing wrong? Does minimal+kde not include x? I thought the dependancies would include everything needed to boot kde. --- Chris Edwards PocketMatrix.com Have u used X 4...? --- This message contains no viruses.
