It is commented out because it is for use when the video card has dedicated ram on the card itself. If you have done all you can do, to share 64MB in the bios, then you may be looking at a hardware problem. Be as observant as possible in looking for extra video setting in the bios. It looks like your bios is telling you one thing about video ram allocation, and your OS is telling you something different all together. Have you looked for a newer bios version that you can flash.

[expert] perm.local being ignored by msec?

Then I ran msec (I'm currently at level 3, BTW). When I look in my syslog, it shows that it's reading parameters from perm.3, but no mention of perm.local - also, /home/* directories are still set as mode 711.

[expert] Triple boot system mounting problems
Hello, 1) I have setup a triple boot system with WinMe(fat32), Mandrake7.2(reiserfs) and Mandrake8.2(reiserfs,ext2). I am using lilo to switch between the systems at boot. Evrything is working fine. I only have the fololwing problem. I have given within Mandarke8.2 partion mount points to the 7.2 partition and WinMe all is mounted fine at boot. However within Mandarke7.2 I only can mount the WinMe (fat32)partition and one Mandrake8.2 partition (ext2). Trying to mount the others (reiserfs) as: mount -t reiserfs /dev/hdb6 /82usr fails with the message: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb6, or too many mounted file systems Could any one tell me if there is a compatibilty problem between the reifer FS in both mandrakes (7.2 and 8.2) and if there is a way to work arround this. 2) I am using the Ltools to reach from within WinMe the ext2 partition since the Ltools were not able to read or write to reiser partions is there another tool for that purpose on the web ?

Do you want every subdirectory of "/home" to have 755 perms? Not sure about that wild card but you might try: /home/* some_owner.some_group 755 or give path for all directories: /home/directory1/ some_owner.some_group 755 /home/directory2/ some_owner.some_group 755 /home/directory3/ some_owner.some_group 755 etc, etc, Example from my perm.local: /home/cdburn/ root.cwoods 777 /home/exports/root.cwoods 777 Hey!

Bit of a long shot I know.. but installing KDE3.0.1 broke my LinCVS ..

So does anyone miraculously happen to have a LinCVS binary compiled on a
system with KDE3.0.1 on that might work for me?

[expert] Lockups
Does anyone have a clue about why performing a stat() on a file would cause it to lock up? I was getting some strange behavior from my system in that my KDE Konsole would lock up sometimes when performing certain operations such as find, ps, ls, stat, etc. -- basically anything that touched certain files. So, I tried using the command 'strace ps -ef' to find out what was hanging up the command, and discovered that the trace locked up on a stat64() call. It was attempting to stat /dev/tty1 which is a soft link to /dev/vc/1. If I tried to stat or even list any of the tty* files, I got the same result. Note that this problem persists not only in Konsole, but in any terminal, including the Linux virtual consoles. It's a really strange problem, so any ideas to figure it out would be great.

I have it working right now..(or something like that... ) with glibc 2.1 Shouldn't be any problem, if the c++ compiler works fine... it could compile kde 3.0.1. Let me tell you the story I was looking for packages of kde3 that work with glibc 2.1 but the only thing I found was some updates packages from Suse (for suse version 7.0 that use glibc 2.1) that I install by hand in our cluster. At this point I must say that it surprise me. Suse have kde v3.0.1 packages for all the previous versions... that was very interesting. I mean... you could be at the edge even if you have an old system. I take this packages and open them with rpm2cpio and then use cpio to extract the files so I don't mess the rpm database. and configure the rest by hand. A this point the cluster is a mess... some stuff build by hand, other installed with rpm. But right now I compile kdelibs and kdebase from the mdk packages. twiking the specs and modifiying and deleting some buildrequires.

If compiled, do you have access to the source? That would make conversion to another Language under Linuix easier. But, there is another way. Run DOS under Linux (See FreeDOS on google) and see if your DOS apps run in that environment. -- JLK Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Femme, One curious point. In Linux does your card grab the 3c90x driver or the 3c59x driver.

[expert] pcmcia yenta_socket numbnuts
Someone previously mentioned problems with wlan cards using the yenta_socket driver. I have an orinoco gold in a PCI to PCMCIA adaptor in my desktop. I am using the orinoco_cs driver and with it goes yenta. I asked how one changes this so that i82365 is used instead of yenta and was told to edit the /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia file and change the PCIC to i82365. I did this but STILL yenta_socket is loaded. I have also done some looking elsewhere (modules.conf and other likely files) but nowhere do I find any mention of yenta_socket so I can pinpoint who the bastard file is that keeps loading it. I changed the /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia entry but yenta STILL loads. How does one get i82365 to load instead?!? I am having MAJOR difficulties getting a "simple" adhoc connection going between my laptop and desktop. I have tried everthing and anything, including naked dancing in the rain at night but nothing NOTHING NOTHING will get them to talk. I am now down to hoping that the messages in my /var/log/messages file about dev_watchdog (or whatever): tx timeouts and my orinoco are behind the impossibility of getting my two linux boxes talking AND I am blaming these tx timeouts on yenta_socket. I want to try i82365 because it is my last, best hope of getting a %$@@(*!! wireless connection going between my two systems. I must say that this sort of ulcer-causing difficulty in setup is one of the reasons that linux is WAY not ready for everyday people to use. I am not everyday people but this level of impossibility is bad, bad, bad. Help! Pleze! praedor Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[expert] which link to use?
I'm using the conexant driver fot their HSF modem in my Evo n115 compaq notebook. I've installed the driver which happily tells me I can access it at /dev/ttySHSF0. That's nice, but I'd prefer not to dig around in my ppp.conf file. I figure I need to link somehow /dev/modem to point to /dev/ttySHSF0. I know of symlink-ing things, but I'm a little hesitant to try trial error. which commands/options should I try to get this happening? which FM should i R? thanks Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] again realtec 8139
On or Off your choice. Might be better on, Someone might be able to correct my errors that way. if you do lsmod | more you can read all the modules you have listed and see which one is/isn't being used.
