[newbie] ATI RADEON 9250 . MDK 10.1 . DUAL DISPLAY
Hi all, I don't know if some of you use the dual display (like M$) but I was working on my box for at least 2 days until yesterday. I finally got the 2nd monitor as an extension of my primary monitor. I know that for sure 'cause I can move my mouse and any windows. I also can see any windows on the desktop switcher. The problem is that I see all the content of the primary monitor like it was a mask except that I can click on it. Here's my box info: motherboard: A7N8X-8 video card: ATI Radeon 9250 (dual head) CPU: AMD Sempron +2400 I know there some issues about ATI/NVIDIA during my google search. This is what I've done so far: NVIDIA grapic driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run ATI graphic driver: fglrx_4_3_0-8.10.19-1.i386.rpm (but uninstalled for debugging) A special attention was made with ATI. When I installed this ATI driver and user fglrxconfig, their XF86Config-4 didn't work thus generating an error: (WW) no matching device (BUSID: 2:0:1) found... (something like this) which I modified my original XF86Config. Now my main concern is the glx/fglrx. Befor all this, I launch glxgears which worked until I install the ATI driver (fglrx_4_3_0-8.10.19-1.i386.rpm). I could see the 2 gears rolling (I think glxgears is something to show my 3D rendering). Now, either I user glxgears or fglrxinfo, I get this error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] song]$ glxgears Xlib: extension GLX missing on display :0.0. Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual [EMAIL PROTECTED] song]$ glxinfo name of display: :0.0 Xlib: extension GLX missing on display :0.0. Xlib: extension GLX missing on display :0.0.

TIA Song.

Hence, I download a trial version of MagicISO or ISObuster ..but no succes. Can someone just give some lead becaue i'm kinda lost. TIA. Song.
[newbie] RE: [XFree86] No Keyboard
I had the same problem with Mandrake 10.0 + XFree86 4.4.0: thekeyboard lockedin runlevel 5, but not runlevel 3. I finally started disabling modules using interactive boot anddisabled Mandrake's "keytable" module. Disabling it worked for me. It wasn't necessary, but you maywant to disable the "numlock" module as well. It doesn't necessarily prove that "keytable" is the culprit, but certainly there is some interaction involved.
[newbie] same problem in mdk 10
Hi All, Just install Mandrake-10.0. Everything went OK without any kind of problem. Lots of improvement in graphic. Love it for that! KDE is going candy style IMHO. I've been always been a good GNOME Desktop guy. Except only that it have the same problem as in Mandrake-9.2. This problem is that I can't cycle my application windows with 'Alt-Tab'.I see that it's config automatically. If anybody is using GNOME Desktop in Mandrake-10.0, can you please tell me if you have the same problem or how can you fix it. TIA. PS. Congratulation for the Mandrake Team.

[newbie] special keys
Hi All, Their something wrong with my Gnome special keys on my keyboard. I always use: - Alt-Tab to cycle all my open windows. - The Alt-mouse 1 to grab and move a certain window. The weird thing is that sometime in work in Gnome but always work in KDE. This been happening since 9.1. Does it happen to anyone of you? or is it just me that I mess with my configuration. I have to admit that I play around my desktop look but that's it, not more. I just like what the people using Gnome can put awesome look on their Gnome Desktop. Anylover of Gnome can gimme a hint?

Re: [newbie] install mysql with Mandrake CD's
The errors was that all depencies of mysql was conflicting with mysql-4.0.15.2mdk.. Now that's was weird. By the time you will read, I've already installed mysql with the source tarballs. I'm satisfied by the way I did it but it works. In my case, it seems that I have to start mysqld_safe with another port than the one by default (3306). Another strange thing, my /tmp cannot be read by mysqld_safe. I saw the localhost.err log file. Dit I miss something here?

Well, we can use many kind of character for a prompt. Maybe the % is old school but at least people would understand. In the programming language, they use . I have to admit that since everybody here used mdk9.1, I should use the one we all know - I'm sorry for this mistake.

Re: [newbie] error message on boot up
Hi, Just to be sure: do I create the /initrd dir in the /boot dir? Would it matter if i have the same your README.WARNING file in it? Maybe i don't get it but why is a simple text file in /initrd would take that error message away? Is it related to the fact that i changed the kernel for a new one (kernel-2.4.8.31.2 on ML 8.0) Thanx.
