Both Matrox and ATI and offer dual head cards. I have a couple of ATI cards, none, are dual head, and I any quite happy with them. But I also have a GeForce2 and 3 and have not encountered the problem you had. As far as a dual head, especially if you do not care about 3d, I think Matrox has the better track record.

I've got my old S3 4mb 3d card back in and all is working fine again. I used midnight commander to look inside the rpm's to see what libraries were installed. Manually removed the .18 libraries and links and reinstalled .16. Any opinions on a good video card that doesn't use the nvidia chipset, dual head and tvout would be nice if cheep enough. I'm not interested in playing gamed on it. Tanks Gary. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

The video card has nothing to do with the problem. /usr/lib/libqavm-0.7.so.0 is provided by libavifile0.7-0.7.18. So you still have it installed instead of -16. All the 'new' pkgs must be removed before the others will work. Do: urpmi -e libavifile That should remove it and all pkgs which depend upon it. Do the same for libfontconfig/fontconfig if you still have the Cooker version of it installed. Then, if you have added a 9.0 Contrib to your sources do: urpmi avifile-player This should install the player and the needed depends. If you receive errors when uninstalling/installing copy/paste the error to next post. Charles The only reason for walking into the jaws of Death is so's you can steal His gold teeth.

The aviplayer would not run. Now I carnt remove these packages. Reinstalling the old packages gives the following when trying to run aviplay. [root@sandy avifile-mdk9]# aviplay aviplay: relocation error: /usr/lib/libqavm-0.7.so.0: undefined symbol: static_QUType_varptr Any ideas on how to fix this? I think it was a bad idea getting a nvidia card as all worked fine before then. Thanks Gary. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I use planetmirror as it is fast for us here in Australia, well when there's no major Linux release :) There is no contrib in Mdk9. There is a devel and under that there are cooker and contrib directories. All the avifile parts loaded ok but failed to run. Will look around for another local mirror that has Mdk9 contrib.

The problem he is having is because he is trying to install the Cooker-Contrib version of avifile-player instead of the 9.0-Contrib version. Some Cooker-Contrib rpms can be installed and run on 9.0 without problem, others will cause problems because they were built against different libs/depends than are available in 9.0. When you wish to make use of a Cooker-Contrib rpm on a released system then the best approach is to dl .src.rpm and rebuild it for your current running system. Alternately the 9.0 src.rpm/spec can be dled and edited to use an also dled avifile-player-0.7.18.tar.gz/bz2 and a 9.0 version of avifile-player-0.7.18 rpm will be created.

This can happen with rpm (dependency hell). Make sure your urpm sources are correctly set up and do a "urpmi avifile-player" and let it sort it all out for you. Alternatively you can install all 3 packages at once "rpm -i pkg1 pkg2 pkg3" -- Alex Bennee Senior Hacker, Braddahead Ltd The above is my personal opinion and probably not the opinion or policy of my employer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Hi all, I just changed the video card to a nVidia NV11 (gforce 2 mx) 32mb and trying to install avifile. Could anyone who has installed avifile with this card let me know what files you installed on Mdk9.
