[newbie] Amd64
Hi I wanted to ask about 64 bit version of Mandrakelinux. Is it commercial, because I coudn't find amd64 iso-s from mdk mirrors. I subscribed to mdk64-cooker list and no activity there at all. The latets cooker/x86_64 net install is broken - says error The modules for this kernel (2.6.8.1-10mdkBOOT) can't be found on this mirror, please update your boot disk. I tried all the servers and ai use the latest boot disks. So what do I do now with my A643000+ if I can't get MDK installed on it :D Imapi Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] x-config.
Hi, is there a way of changing the xfree server(4.0.1) back to the 3.3.6 using drakonf? or the only way is by "upgrading" the O.S.?
[newbie] x-window problem.
Hi iam a mandrake newbie, and i have the following problem: when i use the x-window, the screen splits in two pieces (one half to the left and one halfo to the right), the left side has no problem, everything is ok, but when i get something (like the mouse cursor, or a window), the rifgt side acts as a mirror, i mean that everything that is near the half of the screen is repeted 4 or 5 five times(i dont remember exactly) on the right side of the screen. I tried usind the KDE, GNOME and window maker, but it seems that the problem wont go away. I also have to tell you, that the monitor is a Dell 828FI (it appears on the list) and the video card is a Trident 975 AGP (that appears on the list too). I tried changing the screen resolution, but i dont know what more can i do. I hope you can help me, Thanks for reading this e-mail. Andrew.

Re: [newbie] sblive driver
Hello, try logging on as root. then type /usr/sbin/sndconfig this should bring up a configurator screen that looks just like the ones during install. Then just choose your card from the list and you should be all set. If you dual boot go back into windows and in the device manager select your sound card and look at the properties. From there you can grab the I/O port,IRQ and DMA settings which you might need to configure in the sndconfig in linux. Hopes this works.

I have just started using Linux this weekend. I purchased the mandrake powerpack edition. It is the 2.2.13-7mdksmp release I'm definitely a newbie at this and I need a little help with configuring my sound blaster live sound card. I printed out the help article form the linuxnewbie web page, http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/soundcards/sblive.html, but I'm still having problems. I downloaded the emu10k1-19991223.tr.gz file and placed it into my newly created sblive dir. I typed gunzip emu10k1... Then I typed tar -xuf emu10k1 This created a few directories and extracted files into them. No problem Then I CD to the knew emu10k1 dir. No problem Then I typed rm dep as stated on the help article. This gave me a "rm: cannot remove 'dep': no such file or dir" I also tried rm *dep* "this is what was shown on the help article" No Luck Next I typed make depend This gave me a "bash: make: command not found" I then tried make clean and make This also gave me "bash: make: command not found" After this the article states that you should type ls emu10k1.o in order to see the driver I do not have the driver compiled. I have tried this several times with out any luck. Any help would be appreciated Thanks, Gary __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
Re: [newbie] pcmcia help needed
Hello, I have the same laptop, and i have been told that most PCMCIA modems are windows based. I don't think it will work in Linux. Could you let me know if it does. I have the same one. By the way did you can you get your floppy drive to mount. I have a LS-120 superdisk drive and have yet to find anyone who knows how to make this work under linux. Could you mail to me [EMAIL PROTECTED] , I'm getting way to many emails from this newbie thing. Thanks. From: "Joe Brault" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] pcmcia help needed Date: Mon, 27 Dec 1999 12:54:38 CST Hello all, I am in desprate need of help. I am trying to get my gateway solo 2500 on the internet, via my pcmcia modem (xircom credit card modem (cm-56t)). I have cardmgr installed, and all the necessary pcmcia software ( I think) but I can't get linux to recognize my card. When I insert my card, I hear one high beep, followed by a low one, and my modem is configured as a memory card. Anyone know why this would be? I am greatly confused by this. I have tried a variety of things, but to no avail. I also am trying to get my 3com network card to work. This card is recognized by linux, but i get this error in my log when I insert it: localhost kernel: cs: could not allocate 136k memory for cardbus socket1 3c575_cb: Request IO: out of resources I am unsure of how to reallocate the memory for this card... I tried what was mentioned in the pcmcia howto, but this did not help. I appreciate any and all help with this matter, I am growing quite frustrated. Thanks in advance for your time!
