Hi all, I have tested XFree 4.0 on an G400 dual head. I get invisible mouse pointer with an Logitech MouseMan+. xsetroot -cursor doesn't help anymore. Hoyt, can you post your XF86Config ?

Re: [Cooker] 7.1 install of XFree86 4.0 fails - and now works too !
I used Anton diff file, plus one option for my wheelmouse, and it worked too ! In fact, i needed to add only four line to what was produced by XFdrake (or maybe a special version used during install, as standard version doesn't propose any X4 option). So this one needs only a small correction, maybe. But something i was wondering was not replied by mandrake guys : why are certain package already linked to XFree 4 libs, which are not part of the current distribution ? -- Guillaume Rousse Iremia - Université de la Réunion Sleep doesn't exists.

Hi all, I have tested XFree 4.0 on an G400 dual head. I get invisible mouse pointer with an Logitech MouseMan+. xsetroot -cursor doesn't help anymore. Hoyt, can you post your XF86Config ? I have received several requests, so I will post to the list. I was unable to use two Voodoo3-2000 PCI cards because of deliberate crippling of the tdfx driver because they haven't yet been able to run 3D on one card and 2D on the other at the same time, so they won't let you use two cards at once. Hmmm. Anyway, I found an old Matrox Mystique PCI, but had to upgrade the bios to run XFree86-4.0 with it. Here is the config file. I will try the wheelmouse config info.

Re: [Cooker] 7.1 install of XFree86 4.0 fails
Submitted 12-Jun-00 by Guillaume Rousse: Got the same problem, with a voodoo3 card. Launching startx resulted in : This should not happen! An unresolved function was called! I can send full log if someone is interested. XFdrake resolved the problem just by adding SVGA server, resulting an hybrid install : two package from XFree 4, and the rest from XFree 3 !!! I tried to upgrade every 3.3.6 package with cooker package, but it didn't solved anything. Instead, i had corrupted fonts and no way to launch xterm. I had to switch back to 3.3.6, using --oldpackage and --nodeps, as many of other rpms are depending of libXxpm.so.4. So, why such a mix of versions, with package dependants of other not present on the CD ? Actually, the hybrid approach works fine except for the fact that XFdrake actually sets up the X symlink to the XF-3 server (and doesn't seem to like the FB server :p). I *had* the same problem with XF-4, the problem is that the default config (at least on a pre-final system) doesn't load the DRI module.

I noticed that there were only two 4.0 specific rpm's in 7.1 vice the many rpm's from cooker. I installed these and copied my XF86Config file over, but it will not work. How do I now go about correctly installing 4.0 in Mandrake 7.1? Should I be using the cooker packages? Hoyt -- Guillaume Rousse Iremia - Université de la Réunion Sleep doesn't exists.

I have a Voodoo3-2000 PCI and a Mystique PCI as the second head. It didn't seem to detect it automagically. I had some issues with XFree86 4.0 and Xinerama as well. I got it working by doing `XFree86 -configure` -- it detected both my TNT2 card and my Voodoo3 card.
