Re: kde 2.2 on COL LTP
I had better results with sybil than I am having with WS 3.1 as you may remember. Had 2.4.4 running and also xfree-4.1.0, but reiserfs was a total failure but that is also the case with 3.1 on this rig too, cannot boot with reiserfs on /boot and /; from floppy disk and would not find the recompiled kernels on a std reboot after compile.

I am looking at installing Mandrake 8.1 as soon as its released. I have tried 8.0 and it looks and does what it says it will very well, and from all the reports of 8.1 it looks to be, to me, the ideal desktop. They also include all the latest releases of asupported software instaed of ahving to update straight away. I also noted that makdrake had software updates for internet install a few days after release, whereas Caldera have only security updates for net install, no updated software at all, they are getting left behind. ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

I have twice loaded up different Mandrake versions, including 8.0 that I got from the Linux conference. It seems to install fine, but when I get to testing the X config, I get very strange behavior. It looks like the various X graphics layers needed to make GUI items like a button, text field, colored background, get shifted so that they don't all overlap. Then when the X log-in manager appears, and later the KDE desktop, the problem remains, making the desktop unusable. I had a similar problem with the Lizard graphic install of Caldera 3.1; poor resolution and then each successive step in the installation process appears on top of the previous one as if they were all transparent, making the screen unreadable after about three screens. Is it possible that this is some problem with my graphics card (an on-board Cirrus Logic chip) in the way it talks to the X server?? -- Tony Alfrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'd rather be sailing" ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

It would certainly seem to be a graphics card problems, but I have never trusted any built in cards and always used an add-in card, since I had a problem moons ago with a built in. I have a friend, yes I can boast at least one, who has a similar built rig and is into multimedia and he had similar problems with Cladera so installed Mandrake. We have experimented and so far its far better than 3.1, as far as we are concerned, plus we are waiting now for the release of 8.1. That again is another point, in that they had a beta for 2-3 weeks another now and a release due in about 2 weeks, no long delays. ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
