Still waiting to install 9.2 but after reading all the problems with 9.2 I am undecided.

There is something wrong with the dri (direct rendering) implementation with the drivers, but I haven't heard that the problem extends beyond the mobility chip. My lockups would occur at shutdown, however, and only very rarely during use. Just as a test, you might try commenting out the # Load dri line in your xconfig-4 Module section, to see if the problem might go away. GLX doesn't look too good if your system acts up running gears, either, but one thing at a time. Perhaps SuSe is writing the xconfig-4 file for the Radeon somewhat differently than Mandrake does it? For the record, I like SuSe a lot, but use Mandrake because I like the Mandrake config tools better than YAST. e On Saturday 20 December 2003 07:46 am, Ramin M wrote: Another problem during the installation was that the second time that i installed mk9.2 (i had to do this for some reason), it detected two graphic cards on my machine (on pci buses 1:5:0 and 1:5:1) where there is only one graphic card.

Besides running glxgears now causes lines of lights flashing on my monitor and make the OS very unstable. I just removed the lines related to the second graphic card in etc/x11/xconfig-4 file and the xwindows is still working. So the problem might be related to this bad detection of the graphic card!

Re: Solved: [newbie] mandrake 9.2 freezes so often
I simply did this through the hardware control center where it has an option for activating/disactivating ACPI. The output is /etc/lilo/conf is acpi=ht.

Re: Solved: [newbie] mandrake 9.2 freezes so often
Joe, in the append line it is acpi=ht That's the way it it is now, so it's already disabled? I did some quick Googling and it seemed to indicate switching it to acpi=off. Here is what i turned up on the ht thing: acpi=ht will use ACPI for enumerating processors, and then ACPI will exit. ACPI will not be used to configure interrupts and the interpreter will not run so you'll get no run-time events. Does this mean that with single processor boxes there's no need to run it ht? eric -- Mandrake HowTo's More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: Solved: [newbie] mandrake 9.2 freezes so often
My main problems have been 1- freezings: that were solved by disactivating ACPI. 2- no sound: solved by switching to ALSA (in KDE control center) and raising the sound volumes in kmix. 3- I connected a USB multi card reader. Though it is seen by Mandrake, but nothing happens (and i don´t know what to do next. More minor problems: 1- I still don have sound from the back speakers (i have a 5.1 system). 2- I had to reinstall the Mandrake once again for some reason and noticed that if i do the upgrades from another server, the menus in KDE do not break. 3- I am going to test CD burning performance in Mandrake and will let you know about the result.
