The reply from David was correct, my video card isn't supported anymore by the latest xorg server (1.6). So I return to Mandriva 2009.0 and the problem was solved. It's a shame but I understand. I will buy a new video card and try with 2009.1 later. But, just to mention, in the couple of days that I use 2009.1 I could watch videos without problems. The real problem was with the graphical interface responding slowly. Like waiting a couple of seconds for the kicker menu to appear, etc.

Thank you very much. I appreciate your help. I will try something. My PC has two video cards, one of them disabled. I will unplug the X300 and see what happens with the Intel video card enabled.

I need a little help. I recently upgraded from 2009.0 to 2009.1 and sadly found that the menus and the screen rendering is slower than the previous relases of Mandriva. I have a ATI Radeon X300 SE (detected as X1950 by Mandriva) video card with 128 MB Ram that have worked fine with previous releases of Mandriva. For example, when I click to open the system menu (kicker) I have to wait about 2 segund for the menu to appear. If I drag a window thru the screen the I can see like copies of the screen as the window move. I will appreciate any help.

Yeah... it works. Finally I will be able to use the 2007 edition. THANKS. Some final details... to have perfect fonts on mandriva 2007 you have to copy the fonts manually to the fonts folder (as explained in the previews reply) or fix the drakfont as explained in the mandriva forum. Then, you have to download the freetype release 2.2.1 (I don't try with the new 2.3.0 release) and compile uncommenting the bytecode interpreter line. If you need extra help with freetype, just type in google "perfect fonts mandrake 10.1", without the quotes, or go to this url: http://www.convexhull.com/mandrake_fonts.html and follow the instructions in the freetype native hinting section.

Hi, I've just installed Mandriva 2007 and I'm not able to make the Microsoft True Type fonts work fine. I've used Mandrake (Mandriva) since release 10.1 and I've used the bytecode interpreter adjustment to make my desktop look like a windows machine (http://www.convexhull.com/mandrake_fonts.html). But with 2007 I'm not able to do it. I'm seriously thinking of going back to 2006. :-( Someone has a clue...??? Thanks...!!! [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman - welcome aboard :)]
