On my laptop, the software mixer constantly took around 20% of cpu (apparently to be able to do software mixing since the hardware can't do hardware mixing) so I just avoid kmix on that system, I use aumix instead - good thing Linux offers choice..!

Don't you find this sentence weird ?

Don't you know that kmix does not do software mixing ?

Fix this please !

Is that all really necessary, can't you just install 100dpi fonts ?

no more errors, but I guess "Coolbits" isn't for GeForce FX 5700

look at shortcut "M" (I don't have Kaffeine installed, but I remember that there is conflict with shortcut "minimal mode" and "mute" or something like that , basically choose other than "M"

for compact/minimal mode)

Main, (updates), Contrib and Java are configured correctly.

I don't think that plf will add rpm's I need (although I will try).

As I thought, it didn't solve the problem.

And so far I don't see overclocking thing in nvidia-settings (being honest with you I don't need to overclock my graphics card, but you know... new things are exciting)

You may fix the distorted text mode, by adding line

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT"

into xorg.conf Section "Device"

they should add nvidia /etc/modprobe.preload problem

If the screen resolution is higher than 1024x768 it is recommended to install 100dpi fonts ?

Is this tip for CRTs or can be used for LCDs as well? My laptop screen always goes grabbled when it goes to standby or suspend. Often I have to suspend it for a few seconds just to clear up the mess on the screen.

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "string"

Allows you to override what the NVIDIA kernel module

detects is connected to your video card. This may

be useful, for example, if you use a KVM (keyboard,

video, mouse) switch and you are switched away when

X is started. In such a situation, the NVIDIA kernel

module cannot detect what display devices are connected,

and the NVIDIA X driver assumes you have a single CRT.

Valid values for this option are "CRT" (cathode ray

tube), "DFP" (digital flat panel), or "TV" (television);

if using TwinView, this option may be a comma-separated

list of display devices; e.g.: "CRT, CRT" or "CRT, DFP".

NOTE: anything attached to a 15 pin VGA connector is

regarded by the driver as a CRT. "DFP" should only be

used to refer to flatpanels connected via a DVI port.

Possible solution (fixed my framebuffer)

Section "Device"

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT"

EndSection

Is it resolution (e.g. 1280 1024) or monitor display size in mm ?

Add the following line in your xorg.conf

Section "Device"

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT"

login as root

delete all your .____ files (in your's /home folder, not root's)

100dpi fonts requirements ?

Question:

How fast is growing the number of available rpm's for Mandrake every year?

Are there some problems then I have both - KDE and Gnome installed ?

e.g. higher cpu usage, less free memory, slower system?

no?

it is evil process that can't be stopped, cause money rules

try booting linux nonfb

/etc/modprobe.preload

# /etc/modprobe.preload: kernel modules to load at boot time.

#

# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are

# to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with

# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.

# this file is for module-init-tools (kernel 2.5 and above) ONLY

# for old kernel use /etc/modules

I don't know nothing about them, nevertheless I decided to comment out most of them to speed up boot process (and I succeeded)

Does anyone know why they are there ?

Easy solution!!!!

 

To disable dmix entirely,

 

rename/remove  /etc/asound.conf

 

thats where it's config is stored.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

/etc/asound.conf doesn't exist

Since I don't play games actually, then forget it I don't care really
