Personally, "Give up" isn't in my vocab. Here's what you do (and what worked for me on my Radeon 8500): 1) download/compile/install a 2.6.0 series kernel, modularizing the Direct Rendering stuff for Radeon, and AGPGART, and whatever your motherboard and processor specific setup is 2) Add

Mark, One thing I forgot to mention on this was that I am running unstable with XF86 4.3, though it should work with XF86 4.2, as well. Also, I say use a 2.6 series kernel because the DRI and AGPGART stuff is already in there, no need to build more modules. Yes, it's possible. I've done it

You know, Debian users need to get over this commercial distribution fobia. You are all on the same side. I haven't been reading this list for a couple of months now, and when I signed up again, the first thing I read is another rant about RedHat. It's getting pretty boring. Debian works

I have Netscape 7.02 running under Sid. I had the same problem when installing. To get it to work, I did the worst hack in the world and just copied the libstdc++-libc6 file to whatever netscape was asking for. It works for me, though. Peace, DAVE Mark C wrote: On Thu, 2003-06-12 at

Looks like I perhaps spoke a little too soon. I logged into KDE using GDM and found all my menus to be screwed up. All text in every menu seems to be skewed about half a line down from where it is supposed to be. Any suggestions or workarounds for the KDM problem? Peace, DAVE David Meiser

Joao, Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the other protocols (MSN, IRC) come compiled into gaim. I think that you can enable them by going into ToolsPlugins... I'm not sure, though, as I run Gaim from CVS, which I would recommend. As an added bonus, Gaim comes default with the other

1. Yes you need to unzip it. If it is a .gz file, use gunzip. If this gives you a tar file, 'tar tvf filename' will show you what is in it, and 'tar xvf filename' will extract the files. The file I downloaded is actually a .zip, so I'm good there. However, I'm using Win2K, so

Recompile with 2.4.0 and the alsa source (use the kernel-package utility) and be modest in what you select for the kernel (ex. no developmental code) and the problem should be fixed. 2.2.18pre21 and 2.2.18 seem to be fu-jucked up. The packages you'll need are kernel-source-2.4.0, alsa-source,
