The Viper II is unsupported by XFree86 as yet, Diamond tells you just exactly this
much about its
cards so you can write drivers
" "
Windows might have a driver written by diamond, or it might be supplied separately
with the card.
But know this: Microsoft blames 25% of its crashes on third-party drivers.

A working system after you finish installing all the third-party drivers not on the
windows disk.
You will NOT find another distro which will work with the Viper II. All of them use
XFree86 which
does not yet support the card. Xi Graphics might have a driver (check their
accelerated-X
package out), specs available at www.linuxmall.com though I recommend buying the
package somewhere
else because I have serious doubts about the abilities of EBiz enterprises to offer
decent
customer service.
Sorry, I should have asked earlier what your card was and saved you some time and
effort.

Re: [expert] FW: xfree86 RPM not found
But many, many other people have installed 7.1 and they had X. This makes us all suspect that your CDs really *aren't* the same as the pre-pressed ones you buy, *or* it depends on your hardware somehow. The only alternative explanation that comes to mind is that some sort of magical spell was cast on your system.

RE: [expert] FW: xfree86 RPM not found
Normally this is the result of a bad ISO image file or a failure of the burner to properly burn the image to CD. Since you were able to at least get Linux up, you might want to mount the CD-ROM you've created then go to the RPM directory and "verify" all of the RPM's. You'll find that several will fail the test, which results in the problem. I had this happen with my initial ISO download. Dunno why, but the CRC's were good. I grabbed an ISO from another site, reburned, and no problems... -JMS |-Original Message- |From: Gilbert Baron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] |Sent: Sunday, July 09, 2000 5:32 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: RE: [expert] FW: xfree86 RPM not found | | | | |-Original Message- |From: Joerg Mertin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] |Sent: Sunday, July 09, 2000 10:12 AM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: [expert] FW: xfree86 RPM not found | | |> -Original Message- |> From: Gil Baron W0MN [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] |> Sent: Sunday, July 09, 2000 5:29 AM |> To: AA/MandrakeNewbie |> Subject: xfree86 RPM not found |> |> |> I downloaded the inst and ext iso images for Mandrake 7.1 |> I burned the cds |> I created the Boot disk. |> I did the install but when it got to the xfree86 configure portion I got |> |> Error found xfree86 RPM not found. | |1.

Try skipping the configure X step. (Just press the star next to the
next step in the installer) This will at least get you a working
console system. From there, put your CD in the drive and do (as root)
cd /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS
rpm -Uvh

Actually, it is highly relevant, because if you have an unsupported
graphics card you cannot set up X. Looking through the Card database,
I do not see a Viper II listed:
$ grep [vV]iper CardsNames
Other|Interay PMC Viper=>Interay PMC Viper
Diamond|Viper VLB 2Mb=>Diamond Viper VLB 2Mb *
Diamond|Viper PCI 2Mb=>Diamond Viper PCI 2Mb *
Diamond|Viper Pro Video=>Diamond Viper Pro Video
Diamond|Viper 330=>Diamond Viper 330
Diamond|Viper 550=>Diamond Viper 550
Diamond|Viper 770=>Diamond Viper 770
$
If your card *is* one of the above listed, then you need to rpm -Uvh
XFree86-SVGA-3* unless your card is one of the two noted with the (*).
For those you need the P9000 server instead.
If your card is unlisted, you will use the VGA-16 server and get
640x480 regular VGA.

There is nothing wrong with the RPM and it is in fact there if you had
a good burn from a valid image.

We did plenty of testing. As was recently pointed out, our Beta cycle
for 7.1 was more than 3x longer than for 7.0. Mandrake cannot forsee every
possible combination of hardware there is.

You will probably find the same in 7.1 if your card is not in the
above list.

Windows doesn't come packed with enough software to do most anything
at (at least) a basic level. It can barely handle getting hooked to
the 'net before running out of bundled software.

I thank you greatly. that is exactly what I was looking for. It will help me with other packages in the future too. The first thing I am doing is another download of the inst CD. I did it and the size was different by 2 megs. I will try it again. It is much easier that way. If it fails I will try your suggestion. It sounds like a long day but maybe I will succeed. the only reason I am going through this is that it seems to now support my viper 2 card for > 640 x 480. At least it does during install which it did not before. Without 1024 x 768 the use of any windowing system is just not practical. Thanks again and wish me luck. Another question, can you tell me why it takes 3-8 hours for a message to show up. Is this thing moderated? It is too bad it is if that is it. It takes so long to get messages.

You did not tell on what Stage you have this error ? 2. What Install method did you use ? 3. Did you complete your install correctly ? 4. what Hardware do you have (Graphic Card etc.) ? 5. If you're unable to ake a Graphical Install, make a Text-Install ? Not beeing happy about something is Ok. But you can belong to those people who would like to make a change about it, so provide Informations if you request help. The way you did it, is just wrong. Provide some Informations, and we might help you.
