I've also asked those questions some other places - like LinuxQuestions.org, with the same result. I know that this list and those forums have a lot of traffic, and I know that sometimes no one knows what to suggest, or doesn't have the time to help someone with a problem .. My question today is a little different: What's the best way to get help with a problem? On this list are there times of day that are best to post? Where's the best place to ask for help? I know enough to give detailed information, and I work hard to solve problems on my own, and I search the net for solutions before posting. I think the best way is to post one question per message, be very clear in what you are asking and make sure your subject clearly identifies the problem. In looking at the original post that you reference, it is a problem with a piece of hardware that is quite obscure, and quite possibly, no one here had any experience with it, so I am not surprised there were no responses. Honestly, I would only point you to the XFree86.org site for the documentation on that card. As for responding to questions, I personally only tend to respond to questions where I think I have something to add. I think most people do this and it cuts down on the noise on the list. If I and everyone else responded to messages with a simple I don't know, then the noise level would go way up. I also steer clear of threads that are more than 4 or 5 reponses deep for two reasons, 1) the OP is involved in a one-on-one with somebody that is providing useful help and involvement of additional would probably add confusion, or 2) the conversation has dribbled into a personal or lighthearted exchange.

That *IS* an interesting thread -- it sounds like the problem may be in the XF86 4.x driver... One poster in that thread suggested that XF86 4.1 solved a similar problem, in comparison to XF86 4.0, for them... isn't Mandrake 9.2 using XF86 4.3.0?I have heard of people backtracking to XF86 3.3.6, which supported more older video cards, but I'm not sure if that's such a good idea. I think this Permedia 2 has a rom date of 3 to 5 years ago. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

just to isolate the problem and make sure if its the driver or not, I
suggest you try the vesa driver (should work on practically all cards).
and boot in non framebuffer mode for the moment (running two drivers for
the same hardware may be causing problems).
so change this line
Driver glint
tp
Driver vesa
then tell us if the problem is still there.
cheers,
