I bought an HP 5495 several days ago and have been trying to install
Mandrake Linux ever since. Everything works good until configuring
X. Nothing seemed to work. Then I heard that the i830 drivers are inside

I've put up a fix for this on my page. Let me know if you try it and it

In NT-based systems, you don't have to play games as the Administrator/root.
Sure you do. Just try installing any software that does anything more

Hi,
The mga driver in XFree86-4.1 does not restore text mode properly, since
it always sets the clock to 25MHz (or 28?) when returning to text mode,
instead of restoring the clock that was when X started. This causes
problems when the text mode uses a non-standard mode (when using
