Re: [newbie] Nvidia Drivers, what's reccomended
Hi! I have a K6-2, 450 mhz, 256 megs ram and an ELSA Erazor III Pro videocard (TNT 2 chip). I also installed the RPM's for Mandrake 8 and it runs very well, only one time the X-server lost connection and dropped me to a shell. Games are also working very fine. Do you have Mandrake 8 and XFree 4.0.3 installed? I have tried the nvidia kernel and GLX 1.xx drivers and cannot run any games other than the standard penguin comand and the *tris variants with the exception of Chromium. What a well designed game by the way. Reminds me of my days as a kid in the arcades. When I try mesa gears or reflection it runs for a short time and locks up as well as Tux Racer. I get the splash screen and nothing more. Q3 locks up at the splash screen as well. I followed the directions for the config file and added the required lines. I installed the drivers using the .RPM and have a geforce 2 mx PCI, on an AMD k6-2 500, 256MB ram, ASUS P5a mobo. I know some of these may be some sort of Mesa conflict with the Nvidia drivers but would really like to be able to use this card with Linux with the success many of you have reported.

Re: [newbie] VCD player?
Hmm... I'm having 256 Mb of RAM, but I remember when I only had 64 (On my K6-2 450) MpegTV was running fine. But the older version is running better here than the one which comes with 7.1 Maybe you should try the old version from 7.0? I tried using it but I only get a small size screen and the frames rate is only aroung 18. Not to compare to commercial win programs like XingMPEG which runs at full screen with frames rate up to 30, maybe, Linux needs a little bit more RAM as mine is only 64 Mb. But one thing, which I'am quite sure is Linux seems to be easting a lot of my RAM because whenever I run KDE, which in order to use MpegTV , I see only 7 Mb of my RAM free. Well, I'am sure all of those utilized RAMs are probably put into good use like networking stuff. Hey, thanks for the tip.

Re: [newbie] Lilo Failure
I don't think that you have to reformate the drive. Has the disk been the primary one before? It should also be enough to boot from floppy and edit the /etc/lilo.conf manually to boot from /dev/hdbx.

Re: [newbie] Still having memory problems!
Hello Cy! Maybe you're already having one append- line in your lilo.conf, Linux will only read one them and ignore the other. Hopefully this is the solution to your problem! I've reinstalled linux I don't know how many times trying to get it to recognize all of my memmory. I've tried appending the line append="mem=256M" to the lilo.conf. I still can't seem to get it to recognize all of my memmory. I just don't understand. It recognizes both of my processors right off the bat. I've read that the memmory configuration is stored in /proc/meminfo. Can I manually edit this file to get Mandrake to see the rest? Is there a configuration tool that can be used? What if I wanted to add memmory later, How would I go about it? Does it have anything to do with the size of my swap file? It's 256 meg. I'm really pleased with all of madrake's functionality, but I'd really like to be able to utilize all of my memmory. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [newbie] Brahms
Hi David! I don't know this program, but every application I've installed so far came along with a readme file which told me how to install. Usually you have to open a shell, change to the directory with the program files (after decompressing it) in it and then type "./configure", "make" and then (as root) "make install", without the "'s of course. Hope that helps! I`m a guitarteacher who just started using Linux. I downloaded a sequenser/notationprogram for Linux called Brahms, but I dont know how to installed it.

Re: [newbie] Xauth not writeable
Hi Andrew. Sounds very similar to something I once had... while being on the command line, I typed "su" and then "startx", but unfortunately without changing to the /root directory before. I logged in as root in my /home/hellmut directory and when I tried to start X as hellmut the next time, I got the same error message as you. I fixed it the following way: I deleted the .XAuthority file in my home directory, started X (got some error messages too) and ended X. Linux wrote a new .XAuthority file and all went fine after that. When you are logged in as normal user and want to be root and start X, don't use the "su" command, type "exit" on the console and you'll get a new login screen. You can as well use strg + alt + F2. Hopefully this helps you. Hi. Just installed mk 7 (thought I'd go the whole hog instead of an update) using the same options for my graphics card and res etc as with mk 6.1 However, on giving the command 'startx' it gives be back the message: 'xauth: /home/andrew/ Xauth not writeable changes will be ignored. I then have to wait for what seems a while before the GUI boots. Why is this.

[newbie] Strange hdparm experiences
Hi! Today I wanted to speed up my hd, I've read the man page before. Following options have been added to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file: m32 c3 d1 I tested all these options on the command line before and the hd's speed increased from 3.something to 12.something. A good value I thought, I tested it some time with the "-k" option and all went fine. But when I run "hdparm -t /dev/hda" now the value is exactly 5.0. I opened a shell, typed "hdparm -m0 /dev/hda" and ran hdparm -t again, same value. Then I switched to "-m32" again and the value increased to 12 mb/sec again. Strange, isn't it? My hd is hda (Seagate 313021A), my CD Rom is hdc and my CD writer is hdd.
