[Newbie]make install problem
I was having problems with the rpms for my distro,so I decided to give the source a try...make World went well after I installed the bison and flex that I didnt see needed in the docs,anyhow it stalls on make install with: /usr/bin/ld : cannot find -lncurses so I check and I currently have in /lib: libncurses.so.1 libncurses.so.1.9.9e libncurses.so.3 libncurses.so.3.0 libncurses.so.4 libncurses.so.4.2 libncurses.so.5 libncurses.so.5.0 libncurses.so.5.2 all of these point to the libncurses.so.5.2,and so I look back through the def and cf files and host.def has the some distros dont have termcap, the #define termcap blah blah -lncurses,so I comment it out,because I have libtermcap.so.2 and .so.2.0.8 and it still hangs in the same spot with the cannot find -lncurses..what am I missing?

Re: [Newbie]Mandrake8.2 desktops
Provided you have other desktop managers installed...you can go into Mandrake control Center,under boot config and do a few things there...preferably start X upon boot...then theres the autologin with the user/desktop preferred..Ive found that if you like to use more than one manager( I like Icewm and KDE3 myself) the best thing to do is disable autologinthen when you reboot you get an X login screen with a dropdown list of whatever window managers you have installedpick your preference and login:) ___ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
Re: [Newbie]Configuring X
providing that you have both XF86_SVGA and XFree86 servers,rather than switching links all the time...wouldnt it be easier to create X as a link to XF86_SVGA and X1 as a link to XFree86? That way you could do startx X for 3.3.6 and startx X1 for 4.x.xI havent tried this as I have no need for 3.3.6,but if Ive read the startx syntax correctly it should be possible...

Re: [Newbie]ATI Radeon QD PCI-Version and XFree 4.2.0 - Help!
First off,the best thing to try is leave XFdrake out of it:)j/k You could either edit the section that has the card to include some options to nudge it in the right direction.. BusID "PCI:0:14:0" #this is mine yours is probably not this... ChipID "0x5159" #this is also mineRadeon 7000 QY 64mb PCI heres the best one yet... Option "ForcePCIMode" "true" I had that vbios problem with my trident onboardit seems the radeon and trident take the same memory resources...so you might want to make sure that nothing conflictsif that helps let me know,we'll do DRI enabling:) Chuck
Re: [Newbie]Wheres Waldo? (In my case: the '/xc' directory?)
The /xc directory can be found by unpacking the source which can be acquired from the xfree86.org website, MUST have lots of time or some highspeed connection...as its a rather sizeable download:) Chuck
Re: [Newbie]ATI radeon
This is a radeon module,not a mach 64/128. Depending on what you're using to configure it,its an ati modules with a radeon submodule,or just a radeon module. XFree86 -configure should write a workable config for it. Chuck
Re: [Newbie]No Core Pointer error
Just as an added thought, I know on my system I dont get a pointer unless its protocol is set as IMPS/2 and set to /dev/psaux,even though /dev/mouse is linked to psauxfair deal of difference sometimes between ps/2 and imps/2. Chuck
Re: [Newbie]Is this all there is to XFree86?
Technically, isn't that twm fired up on startx? I believe it is, and then would be a window manager.. the Tab Window Manager:) I know it's semantics, but I couldn't help it:) Chuck
