Re: [expert] Article about Mandrakesoft's new direction
I have an SBLive! card, and had no problem with SuSe and sound in 6.4 and 7.0. I would download the current emu10k driver (not a patch, the actual driver)from creative, compile, and sound was beautiful. On the other hand, until Mandrake 7.2, I had tons of problems with Mandrake and sound - but, it does works fine now with 7.2. So, sound card results vary from from person to person, even with the same card, and you can't say that SuSe has no sound. philomena Jerry Sternesky wrote: I couldn't get sound to work for my sound blaster live card when I tried Suse 6.1, even with downloading the emu10k patch from creative. Yast or what ever that thing was keep giving me grief when i tried to configure it. I had that same sound card functioning under redhat before trying suse. After I pulled suse, and installed Mandrake sound was there out fo the gun. So I would have to agree with Vic on this one, for me suse had no sound. On Tuesday 06 February 2001 01:28, Andreas J.

Re: [expert] KDE in Mandrake 7.2
KDE2 no longer has themes in the same fashion as were supported in KDE1.4. Its a KDE2 thing, not Mandrake. KDE2-style thmese are starting to appear on themes.org, but there aren't too many yet. There is a legacy theme importer (Configuration-other) utility, but I haven't had much success wiith it yet. You can change the appearence and size of the icons by right clicking and selection Configure. You can also alter the appearence in the Control Center - I think its in LookNFeel. cheers, philomena On Saturday 18 November 2000 10:39 am, you wrote: A couple of quick questions. Is there a quick way to make KDE2 appear more like KDE 1.4? ie. close button on the left and small, elegant icons rather than the garish, tonka-sized ones that ship by default? Furthermore to that does anybody know what happened the "Theme Manager"? Mandrake 6 shipped with a nice selection of pre-done themes, 7.2 seems to have nothing like that, I don't know if that's a KDE thing or a Mandrake thing. Also the icons on the panel seem to have lost that effect that makes a square appear around them when you hover the mouse. It's still in effect on toolbars so I'm mystified why it's not done on the panel. Maybe I'm getting old and set in my ways but KDE2 strikes me as being really ugly and slow in comparison to 1.44. If I hadn't hosed my existing installation during the 7.2 install I'd be back there in a second. :( Regards, Steve Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; name="message.footer" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Description: Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

Is there a way to remove it? 2) the clock on the panel shows time in 24hrs and its config has no way that I can find to change it to 12 hr. Is there a way? 3) the screensaver option no longer includes the xscreensaver I was using in kde1.

Re: [expert] HardDrake always locks my machine
There is an update for HardDrake available from the HardDrake site - the link is on the mandrake website.

If I choose "skip", the tool begins PCI detection and then locks my machine cold--only way out is a hard reboot. Send the properties of your ISA card to Alexandre Dussart (I think) : [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] To add it on his 'detect' package. I know that none of my devices are conflicting because the device managers in WinMe, Win2k, and BeOS never report conflicts and all of my devices work fine under those systems. I know that this isn't an issue with Linux trying to configure the devices via PnP, because I have my BIOS set to do the PnP configuration and to tell the OS not to configure PnP devices itself. I've also been able to configure some of my devices by hand the old-fashioned way--by following the HOWTOs--and that has proven successful where HardDrake has been of no use to me at all. So, two questions: (1) Has anyone else had this problem with HardDrake locking up the machine? Yes. Me too with the 7.1 version. Can't detect my HD's. Moved the CD's of 7.1 to trash. (2) Does anyone know how to fix it or have any ideas for me to try? Sorry, not me. Delete and get the version from 7.(without garantie) Eric MC.
Re: [expert] Weird Installation
Hi, I encountered that very aggravating problem twice during various installs - the way I fixed this was to make sure and format the partitions I was setting up.

Re: [expert] harddrake icon not displayed in drakconf
Hi, Thanks - that file did need to be updated - the program path was still listed in that file as /bin , when the program is now installed in /sbin. After updating the config file, the icon is back in its proper place in DrakConf. However, HardDrake itself does not appear to work correctly - displays none of my hardware settings, i.e. network, memory, devices, etc.. There may be additional config file issues to track down - or maybe a new hardDrake is in the wings.
