Re: [newbie] Ndivia TNT2 and UT2003
Unfortunately TNT2's don't support S3TC texture compression under Linux (It only works in windows because directx emulates it) So you're just gonna have to get a new video card which would have been a good idea anyway because UT2K3 would run REALLY slow on a TNT2. l8r, KIRT On Sun, 22 Sep 2002 14:30:17 +0200 Bart Salien [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've just updated my NVIDIA kernel and GLX drivers via RPM so i could try the new UT2003 demo .

[newbie] Mesa Help
I recently installed the newest version of mesa (4.0.2) (which was stupid because it already worked fine i just had to tinker...) and all of a sudden quake 3 won't work! Well actually it runs, just ral slow. has anyone had a similar problem and if so, have they figured out how to fix it. I need my stress reliever. KIRT BTW, i tried reinstalling quake and it didn't work. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Mesa Help
With mesa-4.0.2 you need to use kernel=2.4.18.6mdk I am assuming you are using an ATI vid card. oops... they should warn people about that. I'm currently using kernel 2.4.8 with a Nvidia TNT2. *sigh* I guess this means that it's kernel upgrade time Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Fluxbox and Mandrake 8.1
I have a small problem that hopefully will have a small answer... I'm currently using fluxbox and i'd like to be able to use all those nifty dockable apps that go into the slit and as far as i can tell, the way to do that is to add a line into my .xinitrc file, but unfortunately mandrake sets up it's window managers using a file in /etc/X11/wmsession.d (this is my understanding of it anyway) Now when i add my app of choice to the end of the fluxbox file (with the -w option by the way) nothing happens when i restart (the computer, X, and fluxbox). So my problem, as you may have guessed, is how to get those apps to start up automatically without using a .xinitrc! (they do work, BTW. I know this because i started them from the command line; i'd just like to not have to start them manually) And to further complicate matters, the last time i tried to generate an .xinitrc file i ended up have to Alt-Ctrl-1 over to a different console and delete the file because it locked up X. So i'm a little hesitant to try it again. A little help? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Changing Window Managers - Xtart
I tried Xtart but i got an error... i'm not really sure if i'm using it correctly so i'll explain and you can tell me if i am. So i booted up as usual, then when the graphical login showed up i switched over to the first consolse and ran Xtart like it said to do when i logged in. :) But i get this error: Traceback (most recent (all last): File /usr/bin/Xtart, line 32, in ? Primekey=int(k[0:2]) ValueError: invalid literal for int():fv Help? In addition, on the CDs are fvwm, fvwm2, AfterStep, WindowMaker and Enlightenment.--Our WMs are tweaked on the rpm to make a file for the directory /etc/X11/wmsession.d Look at the files there and you can add your downloaded WM with a similar file, or you can download off the CD in the first place. And on the CDs is also Xtart. A more recent rpm is at www.civileme.com/SoftWare ... If you start up in runlevel 3 (console mode) Xtart will give you a menu of available WMs and allow you to choose any one of them. It was designed for people who like to experiment with WMs and need a fast switch mechanism. There is also one that does not require leaving X, at least for some WMs, but it can leave odd artifacts of the previous WM besides the open windows.

[newbie] CDROM problems...
For some reason that is unknown to me my CD-ROM refuses to work in linux and
i know it isn't a hardware problem because it works fine in windows.
And i know it isn't that it isn't mounted or something like that because it
produces a whole slew of errors at boot time. I've struggled with this one
for a while and it would be nice if i could install stuff off the CD for once.
Anyway here's the output from dmesg. Some help would be appreciated.

[newbie] Changing Window Managers
First off i'm using Mandrake 8.1 Standard KDE is pretty sluggish so i decided to change to a more light weight window manager. So i downloaded and installed FVWM (on a side note, if someone could recommend a better one that would be helpful.) Anyway FVWM installed fine so i restarted X and tried to log in with the WM set to FVWM but it just starts up KDE like every other time. A little help?

Re: [newbie] Changing Window Managers
I downloaded the source and did the old ./configure make make install... And
since the option was available at the login manager i assumed it was all
hunky dory. Apparently not...
I checked and i actually don't have an .xinitrc. So is there a really
specific format or can i just use the exec fvwm part?

How did you 'set' the WM to FVWM? Did you set that up in ~/.xinitrc?
If you want a light WM that has lots of features, you could look into
BlackBox, or XFCE (which is what I am running, see
http://nlpagan.net/images/screenshot.jpg )
