In > fact it's possible that there might have been some damage done. You'll like this Lyvim... I've known for a while that my everything server cum router cum wife's workstation was overheating, but it's only been a major problem (e.g. interrupting task at hand) when she wants to play quake2. Last week I added a 95mm fan with a resistor on it, but didn't really look at the CPU because I have to pull the power supply to see it. So tonight we were playing some quake2 with a friend over the Internet, when her machine locked up a littler earlier than it normally would. No big deal, it started to reboot as usual, but then kernel panicked. So I gave it the three-finger salute, went to the BIOS CPU health page, and saw it ticking over from 98C to 100C -- yes friends, 212 degrees Fahrenheit or the boiling point of water :-) Needless to say I cracked it open and found that the CPU heatsink was blocked with cat hair and the cheap white thermal compound had burned away. In fact, that yellow pad on the bottom of my heat sink had also burned away. I scraped it all off and found a tube of Artic Silver II, took out the fan resistor and hooked a third fan up. I now have the 95mm in the front sucking in with no resistor (loud mofo) and two tiny fellers hooked to one of those auto-speed pyramid thingies -- one on the back of the case and one on the video card. That seems to be doing the job so far, and I plan to get that big fan onto the auto-speed thingie or a resistor because it is way loud. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...

You need not be a Club member to do that. Deno (or his successor) monitor new messages and will take the appropriate action. Before doing that, though, you might want to give them a day or two more to respond.

The Store has taken a lot of flak over the past year or so. Much of it was well deserved.

[expert] DVI graphics card work with Mandrake?
I'm looking for a graphics card that will work out of the box with mandrake 9.1. In otherwords, I don't want to download some binary driver, or rebuild X, or do some weird kernel hack The cards I've been looking at are these: ATI Radeon VE VGA and DVI ATI FIRE GL X1 1-2 VGA and DVI nVidia QuadroFX 500 VGA and DVI nVidia QuadroFX 1000 VGA and DVI nVidia Quadro NVS 280 VGA and DVI The card will be driving a 20" flatpanel UltraSharp 2000FP from Dell. I don't really have a problem with hacking the XF86Config-4 file, but I don't like having to hack in external drivers... Do any of these cards have opensource/xfree drivers that ship with mandrake that are "good enough" ?

Yes, they are all multi-part, thanks to sympa, but neither your post (Kmail) nor mine (Pine) contains all that MIME rubbish that his Lookout Distress is throwing into the body of the message, which is pure and unadulterated cruft, IMHO. And since I've seen plenty of mails from OE that don't have this dreck included, it is essentially a configuration issue on his part, I would think. Of course, he doesn't even see it in there (because OE assumes, in typical Mickeysoft fashion, that /everyone/ uses OE, so standards be damned - full speed ahead ), so how would he even know it's occurring if someone that could see it didn't point it out to him? -- Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] MA, USA RLU #270075 MDK 8.1 & 9.0 "In the beginning the Universe was created.

Well, that's the problem ... if you grab a specific Perl RPM from Cooker that contains the module you want, but Cooker is using a newer base Perl version (which it may or may not be, I have no idea), then you'll have to upgrade /all/ of your Perl-related RPMs to their Cooker equivalents, and also anything which depends on even a single one of them, and whatever may depend on /that/ stuff, and so on, and so on ... which is why we say here that mixing Cooker RPMs into a release version of Mandrake is generally a dicey proposition, at best. It really /is/ a separate distro of its own, as I tried to explain in my previous post. As for the module you need, it's in your subject line. :) But you haven't addressed the really important question - what is it that you expect to get from the Cooker version of Squid that the version that is known to install and work properly in Mandrake 9.1 does not offer you? -- Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] MA, USA RLU #270075 MDK 8.1 & 9.0 "In the beginning the Universe was created.

(???) Yet another update. I found the fan manufacturer's site and they have no mention of "bearingless" anywhere. http://www.ystech.com.tw/Tmd/tmd-0.htm The mention of "bearingless" comes in when you start hitting the sites that are actually selling the Areoflow or it's fan technology, similar to this one: http://www.mlhsystems.com/momex/NavCode/Hardware.info/ID/2159 Or this review site: http://www.burnoutpc.com/index.php?page=reviews&review_id=150 Which lists the bearing type as Magnetic Tip Driving. This is simply incorrect. Other sites with conventional fans list bearing types as either sleeve or ball bearing. That is how the Areoflow should be listed; as ball bearing. More pointedly; the Magnetic Tip Driving technology is nowhere near the center ball bearing; it's outside the fan perimeter entirely. Bottom line, it's not the manufacturer's fault.
