Ciao a tutti e Buone Feste. Ho da poco cambiato scheda video e ho acquistato una NVIDIA GeForce MX AGP (3D Prophet).

What defines your X version, is the link /etc/X11/X if it is linked to something like /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_ then it is the 3.3.6 if it is linked to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86then it is 4.0.x Also, /var/log/XFree86.0.log is the output of your last X session, and you can find lot sof info there too, just a good way to check out things :) To make it 4.0.x straight delete the link and remake it in the correct way rm /etc/X11/X ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 /etc/X11/X will do the job.

[newbie] Code Crusader in Linux and Hello World
Michael,
It appears there was a missing project file. In this case it is
called: hello_world.jcc
In addition, save your Make.header changes.
However, I have noticed if I try to save the exact file to another
directory an error will occur. Further investigation is needed.
I have included my steps below:
Start Code Crusader
Step 1.
An "Untitled 1" page will appear. Select File-New Project.
Type in: hello_world.jcc
Click on the Save button. This will call up: hello world.jcc
Step 2.
Navigate to the top right corner of the project window. Click on the
"Config" button.
This will call up the Make.header file.
Step 3.
Scroll down to the line beginning with:
LOADLIBES : = -lm
Change the line so that appears as below:
LOADLIBES : = -lstdc++ -lm
*Note: l is a character not the number 1
Click on the Save button.
Step 4.
Navigate back to the Untitled page and type in:
#include iostream.h
int main()
{
cout "Hello world!" endl;
}
Click on the Save button and name the file: hello_world.cc
Step 5.
Navigate to Project-Add to hello_world.jcc-Relative to project file
Step 6.
Navigate to: hello world.jcc
Click on the RUN button.
That's it.
I made it a little longer as the help files are some what limited.

[newbie] Hello World and Code Crusader in Linux
Michael, You can save copies of the Make.header files by selecting Save As. Overwrite the files. You will be prompted that the file exists and not to overwrite it. Overwrite it. I've noticed this with other compilers. On occasion, you have to exit the program. Then, open the project file again. In this case: hello_world.jcc I hope this helps. -- Roman Registered Linux User #179293 High Energy Penguin Powered Email

[newbie] Problems running X on a Compaq XL118
I asked this Question last week but missed the response, so please forgive me for repeating... I have a Compaq 1200XL 118 Laptop (using all the internal drivers and adapters) and after installing Mandrake 7.2 I can't get the X Window System to display properly. I run Xconfigurator and it appears to properly configure my monitor (using a generic 70hz, superVGA) but when I run X the screen refresh does funky things. It writes to the display in funky ways causing the screen to have ghost images. The whole screen will be covered with multiply parts of the desktop and any open windows in a confusing array of hash, broken windows and icons. Does anyone know what I should set the display settings too to get X to work properly. Further I asked Compaq for info regarding the screen and they sent back SIZE: 800 X 600 X 24b, Cyberblade 3D Adapter. The rest of the info regarded the video output port. Anyway I tried the settings but still no joy. Has anyone got any ideas?

[newbie] Help with digital camera.
Hi. Okay, my fiance' bought a Polaroid 640 PDC Plus camera for me for Christmas. I downloaded Gphoto, and I'm trying to get it to work. The camera takes pictures, I've got them stored on its memory stick. I hooked the serial cable from the camera to 1 of 2 external serial ports I have on my 'Nix box. I clicked on configure in Gphoto, and picked Polaroid PDC 640 (no plus model is listed but this is so close?). I picked the first serial port listed (ttyS0) which as reported by drakconf, turns out to be the one used by my internal ISA Diamond modem. So I picked ttys01, and ttyS02, etc, etc, everything that was listed in gphoto's drop down menu. Nothing has worked so far. When I pick camera, download index, it always says downloading index, then index done, but I have a gray screen in gphoto with no pictures. In my BIOS, my 2 onboard serial ports are set to AUTO. From dmesg, here is how my serial ports are listed: ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550 ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) ditto (apparently, this is my internal modem) ttyS02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) ditto So...how do I get my camera to work with Gphoto? Thanks! ;-) -- /\ DarkLord \/

Re: [newbie] Using XMMS to play music CDs
Try using the Add Dir option in the playlist window instead of Add File. Then highlight the /mnt/cdrom directory and hit OK. I can play CDs using the CD Player application, but I'd like to use XMMS instead. I have the LM7.2 default install of XMMS (1.2.3) which has the CD Audio Player plugin. It's configured (device=/dev/cdrom/, directory=/mnt/cdrom/) and enabled, but unfortunately XMMS doesn't seem to see my CD. When I insert a CD, should I see something on the XMMS display to indicate that it's aware of it? According to the docs, I should also be able to navigate to the directory under /mnt (i.e., /mnt/cdrom/) and load a playlist, but I'm not able to do this either. It won't display a list of tracks and just jumps back to /mnt/ when I select /mnt/cdrom/ and click on "add all files in directory". Is anyone using XMMS to play CDs? What's the secret? Thanks.

[newbie] Turtle Beach soundcard
Hi list, I have moved from Red Hat 6 to Mandrake 7.2 (and therefore from KDE 1.1 to 2.0) and I'm not able to have my Turtle Beach Pinnacle back to work. I did the same things as I did once (with Red Hat), that is recompile the kernel for a Multisound Pinnacle non-PnP, putting the files pndsperm.bin and pndspini.bin in /etc/sound/ and specifying the right IRQ and memory addresses. When I launch any player in KDE 2.0 I get the message that artsd is not running. So I run artsd and it stops saying that the device /dev/dsp is not present. Besides the Mandrake Soundcard Wizard doesn't show up in Harddrake. Anyone can help?

Re: [newbie] gates gets Linux
my ide burner works just fine in linux. Better then it does in windows infact. I have one of those mice too. Works great in linux or 'doze. The only change I want to make in its functioning is in windows. I want my middle mouse button to open link in new window like in netscape in linux. No go.

Re: [newbie] Wal-Mart Boxed version CD
Okay Riker, Thanks for the info. I did register so hopefully I'll get it also. I've been using MandrakeUpdate to download the updates. AT 28.8! :( Jeff On Tue, 26 Dec 2000, Riker wrote: Jeff: Yes. Just filled out the registration and it said that becuase I had bought the Wal-Mart version I was entitled to an upgrade. This was because of their shipping it with KDE1.99 instead of 2.0. It took a little while but it finally got here. I will check tomorrow and see just how long it took. Regards, Riker Jeffrey Norris wrote: I have the Wal-Mart '7.2 Complete' version.

Re: [newbie] Help with digital camera.
On Tue, 26 Dec 2000, Ronald J. Hall wrote: Hi. Okay, my fiance' bought a Polaroid 640 PDC Plus camera for me for Christmas. I downloaded Gphoto, and I'm trying to get it to work. The camera takes pictures, I've got them stored on its memory stick. I hooked the serial cable from the camera to 1 of 2 external serial ports I have on my 'Nix box. I clicked on configure in Gphoto, and picked Polaroid PDC 640 (no plus model is listed but this is so close?). I picked the first serial port listed (ttyS0) which as reported by drakconf, turns out to be the one used by my internal ISA Diamond modem. So I picked ttys01, and ttyS02, etc, etc, everything that was listed in gphoto's drop down menu. Nothing has worked so far. When I pick camera, download index, it always says downloading index, then index done, but I have a gray screen in gphoto with no pictures. In my BIOS, my 2 onboard serial ports are set to AUTO. From dmesg, here is how my serial ports are listed: ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550 ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) ditto (apparently, this is my internal modem) ttyS02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) ditto So...how do I get my camera to work with Gphoto? Thanks! ;-) Have you tried Camera - Summary? That should tell you if the camera is properly recognized.

[newbie] How many partitions?
I've been reading about partitioning quite a lot, but none of the places I've read really give any reasons for their suggestions. I know you can have all of Linux in one partition, but I'd like to do it the best way. From various places I've seen separate partitions for /, /boot, /usr, /var, and /home. How are these more useful separated out over many partitions? What kind of space would they typically take up? What is the functionallity of these partitions? How do I tell Linux that I've created separate partitions for /usr and /var for instance? Thanks, Jake _NetZero Free Internet Access and Email__ http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html
