Radeon 8500 3D acceleration Xfree86 4.3
Is there any way to get 3d going on the Radeon 8500 Mac edition card, I know for x86 they're available from http://www.schneider-digital.de/html/download_ati.html but I was wondering if it's possible to get 3d acceleration on the PPC in mandrake with the radeon 8500? Thanks, Art [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft PPC FAQ: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/PPC/FAQ/ When I try changing artsd to 8 bit sound "artsd -bits 8" nothing seems to happen, am I doing something wrong? Everything else works great, airport, x, etc it's almost perfect. Thanks again, ~ Art Napor
PowerBook G3 (FireWire, 2000) Gnome, Sound, and Samba. 8.2 Beta2
A few Things I’ve noticed since I’ve installed mandrake on my powerbook. Gnome: Application “bonibo-moniker-archiver” Segfaults when gnome is starting just before nautilus begins. (I’m left with the red “root” backround similar to KDE’s.) (if I try and access it through the gnome control panel same thing happens.) Sound: While a sound card was detected during the installation, at bootup it loads the sound module (dmasound_pmac), and there is a slight tick I can hear through the speakers at the point when it loads. When gnome loads Application “/usr/bin/sound-properties-control” Segfaults, and Crashes. (if I start in KDE I get the error “SNDCTL_DSP_SETMFT” Failed –Invalid Argument, the sound server will continue to use the null output device.) Samba: At Startup Both SMB, and NMB services fail. Any help would be great. ~ Thanks, Art Napor [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Has anyone gotten this to work without using just the ‘usefbdev’ option and actually got an accelerated X-server up and running? If anyone has please let me know I believe this is an Xfree86.org problem and not one proprietary to L.M. As I’ve found the same thing in other distributions including suse 7.1 PPC. ~ Art [EMAIL PROTECTED]
