[newbie] Laptop
Hi, I am due to buy a laptop computer, but I know that linux mandrake (and probably other distros as well) have problems working on certain laptops. Do you have any suggestion about which model I should buy? Thanks, Marco Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] QT and QCanvasView
Hi, I am developing a QT project in which I would like to draw an image somewhere on a form (in a frame for example or anyway in some space within the form). I am currently able to create a form and draw into it, but when it comes to drawing onto a frame I only get a small piece draw, whereas the rest is hidden and I can only see it using scrollbars. The code I use to create the QCanvasView is this: QImage image(width,height,32); some code to initialize the image QPixmap pix(image); QCanvas *c = new QCanvas( width,height ); QCanvasView *cv = new QCanvasView( c ,frame); c-setBackgroundPixmap(pix); c-update(); cv-show(); In this code frame is of class QFrame. If I set frame=0 new windows are open and everything works fine within them, but if I use a real frame the error I have told occurs. What can I do?

[newbie] USB pen
Hi, I have a USB pen drive and would like to use it under Mandrake 9.2 with kernel 2.4.22-4mdk (the standard Mandrake 9.2 kernel). I could make it work perfectly under Mandrare 10.0 CE just using the option noacpi as a boot parameter, but if I try it under 9.2 I get an error (the system cannot load uhci and ohci, so no USB support is given). I tried acpi=off and pci=noacpi. They give no error and my USB modem works perfectly, still I cannot use my pen when I plug it in. Actually if I type lsusb I get nothing concerning it, but only: Bus 004 Device 001: ID : Bus 003 Device 001: ID : Bus 002 Device 001: ID : Bus 001 Device 001: ID : Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0483:0137 SGS Thomson Microelectronics Using dmesg to see error messages I get usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=32 (error=-110) hub.c: new USB device 00:10.3-2, assigned address 33 The addresses that are tried start from 21 (they are tried one after the other).

I use usbview to see what's registering or not. Simpler. Anyway, I have a secure digital card reader that I use to copy files onto my Zaurus SD card. If I boot with the reader plugged in, but the card not in, it doesn't work. If I boot with the card in it, it works, and from then on I can insert and remove the card at will and it continues to work. Actually, I think I found that if I log out of KDE, then re-log in, that'll sometimes wake it up, too. I haven't figured out all the rules to making it work. That said, if you plug in your USB drive and then reboot, can you then use it? Miark No, I cannot use it in that case and I cannot see it with lsusb. But if I plug my USB modem in and out the system recognizes it correctly. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] rar compression software
On www.rpmfind.net you can find more up-to-date packages of rar (version 3.3). The problem is that they are not specifically designed for Mandrake, so I don't know if they will work correctly. Anyway as far as I know this site is the best to get any sort of rpm.

Re: [newbie] Sound Blaster Live
I've tried that but it doesn't work either... Point is I've got both SB and a sound card integrated in my motherboard, which uses the via82xx module. Whatever options I choose, it is the intedgrated card which plays sound, whereas the SB remains shut up. Even selecting Sound Blaster from KMix doesn't change a thing. I tried to edit /etc/modules.conf to exclude the via drivers but they are loaded anyway Does anyone know how not to let them be loaded at boot time? - Original Message - From: Dennis Myers [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 03, 2004 2:51 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Sound Blaster Live On Friday 02 April 2004 09:54 am, Marco Terzuoli wrote: Hi, I have just installed Mandrake 10.0 Community and I have a problem having my Sound Blaster Live working correctly.

There is usually three driver choices once it gets to that point, if it shows yours using the snd-emu10k1 choose to use just the emu10k1 and vice versa, it may show audigy, choose either of the others, one of them will work.
