nope, worked for me just fine. BTW, Beta 3 picked up my Radeon 8500 right away, and set the right settings... first time that's happened yet since the release of the new XFree, so, this is very good news for Radeon owners who aren't wanting to farble around with Xfree to get 'drake working right.

That's basically right. There's still a feeling out there that MySQL is the faster database for selects and such, though I have seen benchmarks all over the board on that. And it is quite clear that with version 7.1 (I believe) Postgres has at least closed that speed gap considerably. In terms of

I don't think that's right, Alexander. Transactions, yes, but I have heard a lot of complaining about how they implimented it . (It's not a feature I care about, so I really have not paid a lot of attention...) None of the other stuff is in the current stable version. 3.23.4x. They aren't in the b

Just FYI, (almost) any script written in PHP for mysql can be adapted quite easily for any RDBM, including Postgres. That's one of the really nice things about PHP, IMHO. Again, though, the difference between MySQL and Postgres really have more to do with feature set and speed than ease of setup

I don't know if this is an expert or newsier question, but here goes: I own a Radeon 8500. Bought it without looking at the supported hardware list... duh! OK, so I have lived with lousy video for a few weeks now. But as of the new version of XFree, the 8500 is supposed to have 2D support. I know

To expand some... MySQL is a wicked fast db with some limitations. I am using it right now for a project and I'm really wishing it supported views, for example. To the good, it is really, really fast, light and stable. Postgre has many more features and is supposed to be a lot faster than it use

I think (and don't quote me) you have to create the my.cnf file yourself. I don't think it is required, but mysql will look for it when it launches. Not 100 percent sure about that, but I think that's why you aren't finding it. However, the problem you're describing sounds like a permissions issu
