Hi I don't have the same card; but basically have the same problem. Mandrake 9.0 works out of the box on my Toshiba laptop. But with 9.1, X seems to struggle. The configuration fails, and I am not able to start X even if I set my card manually. Right now I am using the Vesa driver. Any good card should support this. With Vesa I am able to get my usual resolution of 1024x768x24. My card is an S3 SuperSavage. My guess is that the problem is with XFree86 4.3 ?

Re: [newbie] correct way of setting hostname and using dhcpcd?
On Saturday March 29 2003 01:00 am, stormjumper wrote: i checked out /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 apparently DHCP is enabled, i think BOOTPROTO=dhcp so i was wrong in assuming that dhcp isn't enabled. however, since dhclient and dhcpcd are installed and they both work, i've no idea why eth0 fails during init, but works after that by running dhclient or dhcpcd. do you/anyone have any idea why? is anyone else have strange problems with networking in 9.1? i ask this because, unlike 9.0, 8.2 and 8.1, i wasn't asked networking information during at end of installation, and this seems somewhat strange to me. I'm probly the wrong one to answer this, cause I don't understand what's going on lately. All thru the 9.1 development, I never had any problems with adsl/dynamic/pppoe. Then with RC2, I still had no problem but many people did. I started hopin they wouldn't screw it up tryin to fix problems _other_ people were havin ;) I did a fresh install of 9.1 yesterday, even tho I was already running cooker 9.1 final. Sure enough, minor problem with the connection. eth0 on first boot took forever to initialize, but eventually did. Early on in 9.1 development, before beta1 IIRC, for a month or so bootup would pause at eth0, and after about a minute, eth0 would fail. Amazingly, it was up when the boot process was finished, and my connection worked. Changing BOOTPROTO=dhcp to =static fixes this. BUT it *shouldn't*. I definitely have a dynamic IP, pppoe connection. Still, now eth0 initializes almost instantly during boot. dhcp-client-3.0-2pl2.5mdk dhcp-common-3.0-2pl2.5mdk are installed, as they have been all a long in the 9.1 development. dhcpd isn't, never has been. Fortunately I saved all my old connection related config files, including ifcfg-eth0. That's where I got the idea to change to BOOTPROTO=static. Still seems back asswards tho ;) /etc/hosts 10.0.0.10 localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost After the install yesterday, only the first line above was in that file. Checking my old saved 'hosts', it also had the second line. So I overwrote /etc/hosts with the saved file. But with or without that second line, the connection still worked. It's been my experience over the years that changing hostname from the default localhost.localdomain causes nothin but problems sooner or later ;) Yes, I realize for some of you it's not an option to use the default hostname. During install (not as expert), I wasn't asked to setup a connection either. Fortunately I knew to click on the connection button at the summary screen. Then I was presented with a few screens asking for provider, userID, password, dynamic/static, etc. IIRC I wasn't asked for timezone til I clicked on that in the summary screen either. I believe it's fine doin these configurations at the summary screen, but there should be a clear instruction at that point to do so.

But before doing that is there some way to get 9.1 to use video card and screen as nicely as 9.0 did? Since you installed the Powerpack you probably also installed the nvidia drivers. These drivers will only work with the kernel for which they were built. These are closed source drivers and are only offered by Mandrake as user requested and the drivers for 9.1, as was true with previous, are only offered by Mandrake in the Powerpack or through the Club. The nvidia site will eventually offer the 9.1 kernel and GLX drivers and/or you can dl the src rpms for each and rebuild them to run on your system, which is what I do. Unless/until you install the new drivers you need to edit your /etc/X11/X86Conf-4. In the module section # all GLX entries and then under the listing for driver change nvidia to nv. Save the changes and reboot or switch to init 5 and you should be able to start X without problem. You can make the above changes by booting the 9.1 kernel to init 3 and using a CLI editor, vi , emacs, mc or you can do so by booting the old 9.0 kernel either to init 3 or to X and making the changes from there.

Time to reboot. time I tried it again during the post partitioning white screen, and this time the notice gives some X11 screen related errors, and says safe to reboot. I thin kmaybe the screen switching routine gets jammed (just a guess), or maybe errors were happening even when i didn't switch, but the install prog just recovered behind the seens?

Re: [newbie] Can't get ADSL with PPPoE to run on 9.1
...have you tried Roaring Penquin's PPPoE for this type of connectivity? How is your ADSL setup? (Mine's connected to my network hub, so I don't have to muck with such silly stuff) - but it would help to know how y'all's stuff is setup mate... I haven't this time, I have to check this out on monday, but before RP has not worked on this machine for some reason, I have no idea why. I will check it on monday as I said, this weekend is kinda busy...will be back with more details as they unfold. Cheers Anders Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] how to NOT save a kde session
Hi all, In past versions of Mdk , when logging out of kde you had the choice of saving the session or not. in 9.0 running kde 3.1 the choice is gone and it just automatically saves the session. this is a problem in 9.0 for me because I use firestarter. because in 9.0 it saves the fact I WAS running firestarter ( and does this even if I turn it off before logging out ) and tries to start it up again when I log back in as a user. because firestarter requires root access I get four error messages that I can't stop , and still have to su in console and become root then start firestarter. ( I know in 9.1 firestarter works properly and what I do in 9.0 isn't needed ) but I want to stay in 9.0 until a few things catch up to 9.1. - then I will change and this email will be unnecessary. ;-) What I want to do is turn off the auto save session feature under 9.0 running kde 3.1. Yes I know I can update to 9.1 , ( the problem is resolved as far as I can tell in 9.1 ) but don't want to just yet, and yes I know and have read the manual, I have even tried to edit some files, but I'm not finding the right file to edit in Mdk 9.0 / kde 3.1 . does anyone know how to do this? or if it's possible? -- Mike McNeese Springdale, Arkansas USA == Dual booting 98lite;MDK 9.0 kernel 2.4.19-16 Kde 3.1 Registered Linux User #248955 acqua / Keramik Theme == If obstacles are what you see in your path...

Alternatively right click on your desktop, select CreateNewLinktoApplication fillin all the details in the pop up, and than drag/drop that link into the autostart folder.

(really, in the early days, i would forget to save until i was done, and that was almost never a problem!). I remember talking to my friends in our math classes about some math problem, then coming home and programming it on my sinclair to get the answer.
