Ho Mandrake 7.2, ho ricompilato da poco il kernel 2.4.3 con il supporto per il frame buffer (ho una matrox G400) per poter usufruire di una risoluzione della console migliore . Dopo vari tentavi (ho letto i vari HOW-TO e la documentazione contenuta nel kernel) sono riuscito ad abilitare il tutto

Why is it that the default window environment in Mandrake is KDE but the mandrake config tools are based on gtk? I cannot do anything with DrakConf because: [root@localhost praedor]# DrakConf.real new_font is not of type Gtk::Gdk::Font at /usr/X11R6/bin/DrakConf.real line 212. A system based

This is a complex problem, so be patient with my long-windedness please. I upgraded my stock 7.2 system to kernel 2.4.1 recently. I'm having strange problems with moving copying or downloading large files. After periods of heavy disk activity, like copying several 100MB+ files, the montior
