How do i install native nVidia drivers? Are they dependent on X server version? You said previously that you use GeForce4 card too. Do you use it on Mandriva 2009.1 and is working ok?

[ilia@mdv ~]$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status Status: Enabled Driver: AGPGART AGP Rate: 4x Fast Writes: Disabled SBA: Disabled [ilia@mdv ~]$ What about compiling the nVidia drivers from their site? Should it work?

Just did this, nothing happened...

nice...

no, only those considering my older kernel that i do not use anymore So, what should i do?

no

[ilia@mdv ~]$ glxgears 20320 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4063.656 FPS 19445 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3888.943 FPS 20802 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4160.382 FPS 12399 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2479.588 FPS looks fine to me...

So, what can i do to fix the problem (make my card work like it used prior to upgrade) except using free drivers (that do not support hardware acceleration) or getting a new card?

Hi, I have an old NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4400 graphic card that worked flawlessly on Mandriva 2009. After an update the situation changed a bit: I have now good 3D hardware acceleration but 2D graphics is slow. It takes about 2 seconds to show the icons on a desktop after minimizing a window; desktop selection rectangle doesn't work smooth anymore and window moving isn't smooth either. I use the following driver (installed by Mandriva): vendor: NVIDIA Corporation renderer: GeForce4 Ti 4400/AGP/SSE2 version: 1.5.8 NVIDIA 96.43.11 Any ideas?

Shame on you ! :P

I don't get the blue arrow that will enable upgrading, because when it asked me the first time if i want to - i said no and do not bother me any more... Can i get it back?

I'm sorry for interrupting, but can someone summarize the steps for a proper system upgrade (with CD, DVD, whatever) so i will not have to reinstall? Maybe a link to a suitable resource...

You have to tell a linker where to look for your lib file. Try adding -lmylib to gcc command.

According to you, social networks (facebook in particular) are bad because there are people who do stupid things despite not being generally dumb? Excuse me but this is nonsence :) Don't like it - don't do it, but don't you call things others like stupid!

So you don't like social network, does it mean they are bad? I don't care if someone stores what ever i post there, i just do not post important things. Do you think that all on-line services are part of a world conspiracy, planning to abuse you and take over your life? :) Like in movies?

There is a big difference between using social networks and being generally dumb, you know. Everything you do you must do with your head. One doesn't have to post pictures of his house, his address and a number of bank account. Those who do stupid things in facebook - deserve it. Poor decision making. There is a certain group of people with whom i maintain a close relations and i have their telephone numbers. There are people i met or worked with for short periods of time. They are great guys and galls, yet we do not meet too often, some are even abroad. It is nice to hear from them from time to time. For that i use various social networks. Does it make we stupid too? Watch it man, mind your attitude. Maybe i know where you live and i just might come and get you :ph34r: (just joking...)

That is the point, to keep in touch with people you do not speak that frequently, yet you have/had something in common, like old buddies, colleagues etc. You can also share photos with people you consider your friends. Anonymity is a matter of user choice, people who have nothing to conceal pick Fasebook or similar, other can make other choices.

Rubbish, I completely disagree with you Social networks allow people who couldn't meet each other in normal circumstances to socialize, and that is a huge benefit of such networks. No one makes you to create an account, you don't like - don't go there. -1

How did you set up the router manually or with static IP? Chose static IP and other default options.

In order to setup wired connection do: type "mcc" in a console enter administrator password navigate to: Network & Internet >> Set up a new network interface (LAN, ISDN, ADSL...) choose "Ethernet" and fallow wizard instructions Good luck!

Indeed, their hosting plans were the worst: too little space and a load of irritating adverts, that use near 25% of the screen and, no ftp, no php/asp/CGI, no database options for free.
