Re: [expert] Switching to X 4.0
Chris Spencer a écrit : Hello, I recently reinstalled Mandrake 7.1 and, like a lunkhead, I forgot to set things up to run XFree 4.0. So right now I am running 3.3.6. I know that there is a file somewhere that I can edit so that I can run 4.0 instead of 3.3.6. However I forget what the file is. :( Can someone please refresh my memory? Thanks...

Cette liste est en anglais, tu vas te faire flamer vite fait si tu postes en français :-) If IP adress works, but not name, i'd said it is a DNS problem 99 %.

[expert] SounBlaster Live driver compilation
I use a 2.2.16-9mdk kernel. I just recompiled it, and now i have to compile emu10k module. Compilation seems to be fine, but i get an error message at use : depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.16-9mdk/misc/emu10k1.o Moreover, looking in Makfile, i saw kernel configuration is taken from kernel headers. More precisely, in redhat system, in autoconf-up.h, and autoconf.h elsewhere : ifneq ($(shell grep '__rh_kernel_version_h__' $(KERNELSOURCE)/include/linux/vers# redhat kernel headers style SUB := $(shell grep __BOOT_KERNEL_ /boot/kernel.h 2/dev/null | grep 1 | cut - VERSION_H := version-$(SUB).h AUTOCONF_H := autoconf-$(SUB).h else VERSION_H := version.h AUTOCONF_H := autoconf.h endif correct options used for kernel compilation are in autoconf.h, and particulary module_version option, but the other on is used. Turning of the test resulted in a file not found error later in makefile... Has someone already compiled this ?

Re: [expert] kde2 requirements
the only requirements for using KDE applications, whether kde1 or kde2, is the correct QT version, and just support and libs packages. kdebase package is not needed.

I encounter a major problem with sound in smpeg, even on a fresh 7.1 install. Animation is very slow, and application doesn't exit properly. Using -nosound option resolves the problem, but that's not very convenient :-) It's not a perm problem, as even root is affected. In rare cases i've been able to have normal rendering, thus i suspect something as a process conflictiong with another, or a lock problem somewhere. Using xmps leads also to the same result, so i suspect this must be a general problem.
