Re: [newbie] diskdrak
There is no other rpm's working... and when I switch to gnome all the managers work correctly. BTW does anyone know how to boot to gnome from prompt? "Ty C.

I figure ittt must not have installed the data base... but I don't know what that is... Maybe someone has a better idea?!?!

Re: [newbie] Please help me find the right VideoCard.
Also alot of the video cards that are "supported" on this list at Linux-mandrake and xfree, might not be fully suported with mandrake, or be "fully" suported. So please try not to substitute to a lower priced card that it says is compatable. I know on my linux systems I have had alot of luck with the Diamond V770, Power Color TNT2, i740 (newer xfree though) However I have had a real heck of a time with the cheaper sis 6326, and the S3 Trio cards that are said to be supported. The power Color tnt2 cards only cost me 70ish bucks, and that 32 megs and it looks sharp. sean F wrote: Sevatio, Video cards are the most problematic pieces of hardware you will have to deal with in linux, (NIC's are good for longer term probs :)) At the mandrake site you will find a "supp.hardware" link, http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fhard.php3 As well as a link on that page to XFree86 site http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.5/index.html Look up the various video cards on the list's and you will see that The ATI 128 Rage chipset does not have support yet, I am not sure which Diamond card you have, but they have been very supportive in the past regarding Linux, You might just have a configuration problem there with the Diamond card. Hope this helps. sean --- Sevatio Octavio [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm having a helluva time with videocards. The one that came with my machine was a Diamond and it has some known issues of blacked-out text. Then I bought an ATI Rage 128Xpert and the screen kept blacking out and locking up the system (also a known issue). Now I'm just wondering if I was just lucky with my 2 other slightly older machines. Can you guys recommend a videocard that is out there in the market that is known to work? Seve __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com

Re: [newbie] Instant Messenger
Did you find the program your suposed to execute after you installed it. I think it installs to /usr/local/bin. If it's there try to execute that. sean wrote: Install? You must mean compilerdunno.
