[newbie] Nvidia Drivers and ML9b4
Has anyone gotten the current Nvidia drivers from Nvidia's web site to work with ML9b4? I tried, but now Xwindows refuses to start. I followed the instructions in the README. Am I missing something or does ML9 require new rpm's? Jim Gentry Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Mandrake 8.2, SB Live Digital Speakers
I have installed ML 8.0, 8.1 and now 8.2 on my Gateway Pentium III. On 8.0 and 8.1, I could not get satisfactory sound from the Gateway OEM version of the SoundBlaster Live Value card that came with the machine. I have the Boston Acoustic Digital speaker set, but the default installation of ALSA 0.5.10(?) sets the master output of the card to analog signal. I have confirmed this with an old pair of speakers. ML 8.2 sets up sound much more reliably than the previous versions -- I even get sound now from my Hauppauge TV card, but the output is still analog. Does anyone know of an option that will turn on digital signal output to the Main output of the SoundBlaster Live Value card? I have asked this question of the ALSA mailing list, but have yet to receive a reply. Thanks for your help. Jim Gentry Charleston, SC Very pleased with ML 8.2, so far.

With a caveat, they had engineered them somehow so they weren't normal LIVE cards anymore! They lacked certain features. Check gateways site or newsgroups archives for an answer?

Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Thanks, Femme, unfortunately I've already been there. The SB Live card produces digital output in Windows and there is a software control panel with a selection button to enable/disable digital output on the Main (green)output jack. The Rear channel output (black) is always analog and also works in Linux. My BA Digital speakers sound great and I really would love to use them in Linux as well as Windows... Gateway support is (less than?) useless. You even breathe the word Linux and the techdroid goes catatonic. We do not support Linux. (click) I expect you're right about Gateway re-engineering the card to save a few pennies on a connector. BUT the switch is there; Windows can access it, why not Linux? Thanks for the response...

[newbie] Bastille firewall log
I am running Mandrake 8.1 and dual booting with WinME (temporarily, I hope). I am on a cable modem and I run the Zone Alarm Pro firewall in windows. ZA logs all attempts to access my machine in a text log. I opted to install the Bastille firewall in Mandrake 8.1 and it works very well as I have had GRC.com's Shields Up probe my machine and it reports all ports in stealth. I have looked for a log from Bastille, but I cannot find any mention of it in the docs so far. Can anyone on this list point me in the right direction? Must logging be enabled in the default install of Bastille? If so, how? Thanks, Jim Gentry Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
