Actually, this is what my section looks like: Section "Module" Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension Load "v4l" # Video for Linux Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" # 3D layer EndSection > Should I change the > XF86CONFIG-4 Module section and the etc/module file to nvidia? yes. :) Section "Device" Identifier "device1" BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce4 (generic)" Driver "nvidia" Option "DPMS" EndSection I mentioned putting /sbin/modprobe nvidia in your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file cause seems like /etc/modules.conf gets read too soon or too late or something. Mine seems to not load the module. But you could just put nvidia in your /etc/modules file instead of rc.modules... either will work. As long as you get that module loaded before trying to startx. I like to have all three elements present: correct entries in XF86Config-4, device & modules in /etc/modules.conf and some place that loads it (rc.modules. or /etc/modules). > Confused.

This is a bit of hack that I had to start using about the time devfs hit, tho
the connection wasn't confirmed. I found this script when I was googling
around for a fix for the same thing. The instructions are included, and
even if you get an error during compiling, just try it anyway. I can't
recall what the error is, but it didn't effect the scripts usefulness.

* */
void *memset(void *s, int c, int n)
{
char *p = s;
while (n--)
*p++ = c;
return s;
}
-
then I made up a little bash script to preload it for me (xgamma stuff is to
lighten screen).
[s@tuxmachine]:s$ cat quake3.sh
#!bin/sh

cd /usr/local/games/quake3 && LD_PRELOAD=./memset.so ./quake3.x86

I have to disagree since many like to run these versions and may need pointers here or there, but can not congest the cooker list which as I understand it is primarily for the developers and the testers who can provide real assistance to said developers.

Oh, I was under the impression it was, hence the root of our disagreement. If this statement is accurate, then any further discussion is moot. Have you discussed with warly, pixel or others and find they agree? If so, then please excuse my interference. > > of the consequences if too many laypersons start posting to > > cooker. > > What consequences are you afraid of? Well, as stated earlier, if too many useless, uninformative, false bug reports start showing up, then the list may become unavailable for the average joe or the developers will move to another list or just email directly. Something like that. It's an informative list for interested parties to lurk on as it is now, but I can imagine it becoming chaotic and testing the patience of developers. > Side-effects not withstanding, posting bug reports (real or > otherwise) to cooker is much preferred to posting to expert/newbie > lists and not having the real bugs dealt with.

You make a compelling argument and I even agree to a point, especially with making things more difficult for developers. No one wants that. In fact, that was the motivation for my argument as well. You make valid points and are of course in a better position to know. I just hope the list doesn't become too congested with useless posts and end up wasting time and patience that you too are trying to avoid by directing them there.

[expert] .xinitrc/startx weirdness
Hi gang, I have a little mystery going on here that isn't really distro or version specific as I've had it happen to me for many many mandrake releases and in Slackware. But something somewhere somehow for some reason is creating an empty .xinitrc file in my home directory on occasion, and of course the startx command won't work with it present. I delete it mot, but got the bright idea of just sticking a copy of the system xinitrc in ~ in hopes that it wouldn't happen again. But my curiousity driving me nuts as to what is doing this? I can not find a common denominator or see a pattern. So that's my question, anyone seen this? And does anyone have any ideas what could be doing this and maybe even why? I always run nvidia drivers and start X with startx from init 3 into kde. I have no idea what kind of clues I can offer, but welcome any and all questions in this matter.

But one common thread is the basic items are there even if they look a little different.

Sorry, this got attached to the wrong thread (I started looking back to see if you had stated what your hardware was and got lost I guess). Anyway, you could also try to disable agp thru the config file: Option "NvAGP" "0" of course it will probably kill 3d acceleration, but X might start. -s Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

yeah, pretty close to the top after all the froms.
I changed max_uploads like so:
defaults = [
('max_uploads', None, 2,
"the maximum number of uploads to allow at once."),
and max_rate like so:
('max_upload_rate', None, 13,
'maximum kB/s to upload at, 0 means no limit'),
that seemed to really help mine. I finished up about 5 this afternoon
and after installing, I turned it back on. It's still uploading at
13. I'll leave it on as long as possible for folks.

Re: [expert] I was lucky I guess-- was: kcontrol STILL doesn't function
I just tried it, and it didn't fix mine. But mine is a rather small inconvenience anyway, which is why I never mentioned it before. Only sound is blank, and then the first icon, virtual desktop, mouse behavior, and borders don't load the modules needed (so the error states).

[expert] Supermount
Hi, I stuck 2.4.1 in tonight and realized I had forgotten about patches for supermount. So in my search, I can no longer find the information on it. So my question is: Wasn't there a patch for kernel 2.4.1 that when applied gives it back it's supermount capabilities? And from where might one download it? Thanx, -s

Fwd: Re: [expert] Problems with 2.4.1 kernel, will not boot.
My 2.4.0 did that the first time when I had the entry vga=788 in lilo and didn't compile in framebuffer and virtual terminal support (I think they were called.). Check your lilo for that and remove it or change 788 to normal and see if it'll boot. [It was as though if I could by esp feel my way to the sign in, it would log in. (It went thru the boot process, I just couldn't see it, but I could tell it was doing it by the sounds). Is that what you mean?] -s -- Forwarded Message -- Subject: Re: [expert] Problems with 2.4.1 kernel, will not boot. Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2001 19:48:56 -0500 From: Neal Lippman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "anmat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am also having problems getting 2.4.1 to boot, and trying has been trashing my system to boot (no pun intended). I've already posted how trying to boot lost my supermount entries in /etc/fstab (which I've figured out; see separate post) and also my ability to mount windows (vfat) file systems (which I now realized is because enabling and disabling supermount has trashed that entry in fstab, and I have now fixed...) I have done make xconfig to configure up the 2.4.1 kernel and compiled, and tried this several different ways. When I try to boot the 2.4.1 kernel, the system "hangs". However, it seems to be accessing the hard drive, but the monitor remains blank. There is a clicking sound from the monitor, suggesting it has set a video mode, that perhaps the monitor or the video card is not handling correctly. I have not yet been able to figure this out. My grub's menu.lst is as follows: START GRUB MENU.LST timeout 5 color black/cyan yellow/cyan i18n (hd0,0)/grub/messages keytable (hd0,0)/us.klt altconfigfile (hd0,0)/grub/menu.once default 0 title linux kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 hdd=ide-scsi vga=788 title linux-2.4.1 kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.4.1 root=/dev/hda5 hdd=ide-scsi vga=788 title linux-backup kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.2.17-21mdk-backup root=/dev/hda5 hdd=ide-scsi vga=788 title windows root (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader +1 title floppy root (fd0) chainloader +1 *** END GRUB MENU.LST Note that the "vga=788" was copied from the linux section that boots vmlinuz, whch is a symlink to /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-21mdk, so I presume my system can handle that video mode. My system, if anyone has any ideas, is a PIII/800 with an ASUS CUSL-2 motherboard. The video card is a Guillemot Prophet II MX in the AGP slot and the onboard video of the i815 chipset is disabled. (BTW: I don't think the problem is 2.4.1 trying to use the onboard video, because then themonitor would presumable give the "no signal" display rather than just remaining dark). In the kernel config, I have included MTRR, and have disabled DRI since I don't think it is supported for nvidia based cards, and also because as far as I can tell, none of the listed video drivers that enable when you select DRI are applicable for this card. I note that I have a /proc/mtrr directory which responds with appropriate data to "cat /proc/mtrr" so I presume that mtrr works fine on my system. My config does include v4l, firewire, xircom USB-based cam, ide-scsi, but nothing else extraordinary. Any ideas?

[expert] unknown function: "encode"
As the subjects states, this is an error I get around line 24 in /etc/menu-methods when I try to update-menus after upgrading to kde 2.1.1 . It has cause several minor inconveniences, but a major problem now is I have no ssl encription. The entire option is now missing from konqueror settings. And of course that makes https sites unreachable with konqueror. I can use netscape :P, but I miss the 168 bit encription that konqueror used to provide. However, I am enjoying my anti-aliased fonts (which also indicates that upgraded to glibc 2.2 and xfree 4.0.3). (Rhetorical question: Was it worth the trade off?) Any ideas why someone would be getting this kind of error? And do I dare hope for a fix?

Re: [expert] Netscape Locking Up
Oh man, I don't know how to tell you this, but mine looked good; just as I imagine the author intended. However, changing encoding did kick it back to home page. I'm using a 17" monitor at 1024x768 with 12 pt. comic sans. I wish I had a suggestion for you.

Re: [expert] So...what is the verdict on KDE 2.1.1
For me, I don't see much difference except for the aa fonts, which in itself worth it to me. But I don't see/experience too many bugs, but I didn't find too many before with 2.1. So if you're coming from 2.0 or 2.01, do it. If you're coming from 2.1, the only advantage is aa fonts (and its a little work to get them to show up).

Re: [expert] So...what is the verdict on KDE 2.1.1
Well, can't help you too much there. I didn't try to get aa fonts working with 2.1 and when I went to test my adobe fonts for you, I don't seem to have any listed for the file manager or web browser. So I don't know if that's normal or mine is just missing (oops, a bug?), but I didn't use them anyway. I do have a couple of windows fonts that I am using presently that look good. Maybe someone else will chime in with more helpful info. I found an article on that issue (limited fixed fonts) back when I was troubleshooting mine, but I didn't bookmard it. I had been searching google for linux & aa fonts when I ran across it. -s On Monday 09 April 2001 12:57 pm, you wrote: > Well, I have 2.1 and aa fonts but the problem is that adobe fonts are > royally screwed in rendering.

Re: [expert] Someone from mandrake want to toss me a bone?
I sorta know how you feel. My drakconf is out of commision also. But I think it has more to do with kde upgrades than the kernel. At least the 2.4.3-13mdk fixed my memory problems. All my hardware was already set up, so I'm ok for now. However, next week I'm installing a nic card and it would be nice to use some of those now unavailable tools. I may have to start over from scratch also.

Re: [expert] 8.0 final --brakes MANY applications
I did a clean install and all went well except that many of the apps I selected didn't load during install, like sndconfig- I *think* anything from the ext-iso. But I installed from hdd, so I kinda happy it worked at all. I just downloaded anything I noticed I needed and installed afterwards-like kdegames. I think a fresh install is the key. All my hardward was automagically configured and worked right out of the box! (Except I did need to load nvidia drivers-and had to use rpms, the tar.gz wouldn't load.) But I get lots more framerate than ever before. Like 2000fps testing with gears, 400 at full screen. (That's about 33% better). And gnome actually looks great now. I'm tempted to use it. No crashes, everything working. Easy, painless. Don't worry about it unless you have some of exotic hardware. I recommend it. Can hardly wait for the retail package. -s On Sunday 22 April 2001 05:17 pm, you wrote: > On Sunday 22 April 2001 17:23, you wrote: > > Its driving me crazy!

But they work good, I'm getting the best framerates yet out of them. 33% better testing with gears. Here's window and full screen with a geforce2gts: ]#gears 8817 frames in 5.000 seconds = 1763.400 FPS 11772 frames in 5.000 seconds = 2354.400 FPS 11804 frames in 5.000 seconds = 2360.800 FPS 8144 frames in 5.001 seconds = 1628.474 FPS 1962 frames in 5.000 seconds = 392.400 FPS 2047 frames in 5.000 seconds = 409.400 FPS 2236 frames in 5.001 seconds = 447.111 FPS 2234 frames in 5.000 seconds = 446.800 FPS second test: ]# gears 8897 frames in 5.007 seconds = 1776.912 FPS 11767 frames in 5.000 seconds = 2353.400 FPS 11713 frames in 5.000 seconds = 2342.600 FPS 11602 frames in 5.000 seconds = 2320.400 FPS 7708 frames in 5.000 seconds = 1541.600 FPS 2142 frames in 5.001 seconds = 428.314 FPS 2242 frames in 5.000 seconds = 448.400 FPS 2247 frames in 5.009 seconds = 448.593 FPS 2244 frames in 5.001 seconds = 448.710 FPS 2241 frames in 5.000 seconds = 448.200 FPS But in all fairness, gltron does 100fps consistantly, where the previous drivers fluctuated anywhere in the 90's, but did dip as low as 79.
