Re: [newbie] Quake II - rpm installing problem

[Joe Pyrczak]

Sorry Juan,

I made a slight error.  Do not use the Cooker, I looked it up and it is 
an experimental distribution.

Sorry, just use the 'Mandrake' packages with the mdk.i586.rpm extension

What´s the difference between Mandrake and Mandrake Cooker?

  Hi,
 
  I would go to rpmfind.net and search for each of the libraries (example:
  libm)  it will give you a whole list and you need to look for the Mandrake
  Cooker file it will have an extension of i586.rpm.  Then you can run rpm
  -i 'package' and it will install the libraries from that package.  Then
  try to install Quake 2 again.

  Hello all.
  
  I am trying to install Quake 2. I have downloaded quake2-3.20-6.i386.rpm
   and also quake2-3.20-glibc-6.i386.rpm files. And when I execute:
  
  rpm -i quake2-3.20-6.i386.rpm
  
  system says:
  
  error: failed dependencies:

  system says:

  My system is Linux Mandrake 8.0 running on a Pentium2 300 Mhz with 64 Mb
   of RAM and an ATI XpertWork 4 Mb.
  
  Many thanks for your help and comments.

Re: [newbie] laptop display

[Joe Pyrczak]

Hi Bill,

I am using:

Compaq Presario 1200
700 Celeron
128MB Ram
Cyberblade i7 3D Video
13.1 display
and the install Xfree 4.0.3

And I used a config file I found on the net specifically for the presario 
1200 and I get a 1 1/2 to 2 inch black box around my display with a 
small  X Windows being displayed in the center.  I find whether I use 
800x600 or 1024x768 it is the same.  Haven't found a solution yet but will 
send you my XF86Config.

Hi,
 Almost got all the bugs out...now the display...

Dell Inspiron
700 MHz
192 Mb ram
ati M4 c/w 8 megs ram
14.1 display
XFree 4 on install

Two problems

1.I used an XF86Config-4 file from the net and it only has a single 
resolution.

2.Mandrake 8 works very well but occasionally when I logout or if I'm 
in the login screen, I try to reboot, the display just disappears. There 
is a loss of control and very random transluscent colour patterns appear. 
Also, total loss of control over the laptop. Not even CTRL/ALT/BACK or 
CTRL/ALT/DELETE has any effect.

I'm looking for a more complete XF86Config-4 file (or a close one that I 
can adjust from)? Does anyone have this combo? Has anyone had this weird 
loss of display and control at the login screen?

Thanks,
Bill W.
