Some improvements were probably done. Obviously, if you can read this
they are back up. Just a minor point, but it's always a good idea to
have yum.conf point to other servers (3 or 4) just in preparation for
an event like this.
What are some other PPC RPM servers I can use? Do Mandrake/FC5 RPM
sites work (assuming the PPC variant)?
Our servers were down yesterday to upgrade the transformer on the
street.
Not sure why ftp.yellowdoglinux.com was down, thats hosted by the
MCS group
at Argonne National Lab.
Ok, I just wanted to make sure nothing bad happened. :-)
I downloaded GNOME, so now I have more than either a nice text
interface or a bunch of xterms. I also downloaded tuxracer, but I was
only getting around 2-3 FPS with settings at the absolute minimum
(including windowed 320x240). On my Nvidia 6800 desktop, which I
recently put Ubuntu x86 SMP on, I remembered that this was because of
not having any hardware accel drivers. so, I lspci'd and found out I
had an ATI rage mobility L, which is apparently in the Mach64 family
(which makes since, because my lots-of-debugging output says Mach64
PLL register values: ...). I looked for 3D drivers, and it looks like
the ATI accel drivers are only for x86 :-(. So, it seems that either
MesaGL or DRI, or even Utah GL are the only workable options.
Along these lines, I attempted to get DRI/MesaGL compiled again,
which succeeded. I tried to install them and get 3d accel, which
failed. The only thing that I can think of is that my drivers require
X.org, not XFree86. Is there any way for us YDL 4.0 users to get
X.org? Either that, or has anybody successfully gotten X 3D
acceleration working with the ATI Rage Mobility L (NOT 128!)?
thanks!
