[expert] 8.2 how to make supermount work?
Hello I was crasy enough to try to upgrade from rc1 to 8.2 (I said crasy because all other attempts ended up in a full install). Fortunately everything worked except for supermount.

Re: [expert] Irregular Mouse in 8.2
Hi I have the same problem. I have also complained about that when installing 8.0 on my PC. ctrl+alt+any other console is part of my daily routine! Things can get worse when using two mice. I am running win4lin on display 2 with a ps2 mouse and KDE on display 1 with a serial mouse. Winlin2-ps2 mouse kills serial mouse on KDE. The only way to get the serial mouse working is to shutdown win4lin.

[expert] Where did LM 8.1 hide /dev/sda4 (parallel zip)?
Hello My parallel zip worked just fine with LM 8.0. Unfortunatley I had to upgrade my system to LM 8.1 (I want o to run multiple Xs). I said unfortunately because LM 8.1 has lots of funny stuff (for instance, ps2 mouse -gpm - is a nightmare!). I tried to issue the command moutn -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip2 but an error message came out "no such device". LM 8.1 defined /dev/sda4 on fstab but I've checked the dev dir and I couldn't find sda4 (though /dev/sda is pointing the right place - cdrecord -scanbus confirms that my system has a zip on 0,6,0). How can I create /dev/sda4? Or how can I mount /dev/sda4? Many thanks Ed Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Where did LM 8.1 hide /dev/sda4 (parallel zip)?
Hello I have been using my zip drive with linux since Caldera 1.3 in 1999. All zips have the fourth partition. I have to reformat the disk if I want an ext2 (see mini-howto on zip). You can check that by issuing the command fdisk /dev/sda and then list the partitions. As for your questions, the answer is no because linux can't mount "the whole disk". It is like trying to mount /dev/hda as /. One normally mounts /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda2 or etc. Many thanks Ed > > The 4 in the sda4 is supposed to refer to a partition number on the drive.

Hello The zip drive is working now. What I did was: mknod b part1 8 1 mknod b part2 8 2 mknod b part3 8 3 mknod b part4 8 4 The number 8 comes from the block device created by mandrake.

[expert] SCSI Zip drive under 8.1
Hello I am trying to get a second zip drive to work my system (LM 8.1). The first device is a parallel zip drive and works fine with ppa. The second one is connected to scsi card, tekram 390-F. dmesg shows that 8.1 finds the scsi card and the scsi zip but then the whole thing disappeared (that is, the scsi2 host is detached). After that I can't find the scsi zip. /dev/sda is the parallel zip. What could be the scsi drive? What am I doing wrong? Many thanks Ed Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] mandrake 8.2
Hello I had no problem to install 8.0 and 8.1 on my celeron too. The video card i810e gave some trouble as far as multiple sessions were required. It didn't work at on 8.0 but works on 8.1 (one has to change XF86Config though) without DRI. I have tried to install fbdev developed by Antonino Daplas (nice guy!) but it didn't work out as the mandrake kernel didn't accept the patches very well. I am now running kernel2.17mdk that comes with a patch for i810fbdev but I didn't figure out how to enable it. dmesg | grep framebuffer doesn't show a thing which means that framebuffer is not there. At least multiple sessions work with the normal i810.o drive. Not in the conventional way but it works. startx --:1 vt 08 didn't work but startx -- :1.0 does. Why? I hope that 8.2 allows me to have framebuffer on my intel 810e.

Re: [expert] DVD (newbie) full screen
Hello Thanks a lot for all help. I can now watch DVD movies on my linux box (not illegally as far as I could understand). The movie I've rent was on widescreen (cinemascope) not in the whole screen. I guess if it were it would be distorted. Anyway I came to know that ogle doesn't implement the "wholescreen" I am talking about. PowerDvD that comes with the DvD drive couldn't get the "wholescreen" too. I can't be sure if there is an option on PowerDvd to get it since my windows won't work anymore (It doesn't even boot).

[expert] Help! No lilo - no nothing!
Hello I have installed linux Mandrake on my notebook. The installation went fine (some errors with tcl-8.3 and xpdf rpm files) but I can't boot the system via lilo. I have Windows Xp Home Edition and Mandrake 8.2beta (don't call me crasy please) on the machine. I can run LM 8.2 if I use the boot diskette (it didn't skip this step). LM 8.2 is running ok. I can't run Xp since I have no boot diskette for the OS. How can I fix lilo so as to have a dual boot? My notebook is Sony VAIO. Many thanks Eduardo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Help! No lilo - no nothing! (odd solution)
Hello Thanks for the help. a) I did install lilo at least a dozen times (playing compact. lba, linear, menu etc.). b) I managed to get the menu at boot time by removing the batttery and putting it back again. Yes, somehow SONY doesn't like changes on lilo, so by removing any kind of power suppy from the notebook SONY's "memory" is lost and lilo changes are accepted. The only problem is something funny characters just before the word boot:. I have nmo idea what causes that.

Re: [expert] Two mice working at the same time
Hello Many thanks. Do you mind to elaborate a bit more on the solutions? I don't think I can implement that without more help. a) SendCoreEvents - What do I have to do here? b) Two layouts - does it mean that I have to get rid of the graphical login interface?

[expert] VMware and Mandrake 7.2 blues - Please help me out!
Hello I have installed vmware 2.0.3 under Mandrake 7.2. Unfortunately things went as I though they would be: 1) NO DGA modes even after checking, rechecking if the line omit dga is commented out on XF86Config. Is there anything else I can do? 2) The parallel zip stops working as soon as vmware is on. 3) All printouts sent from the host get stuck.
