Why there is only i586 compiled kernel in Mdv 2007? I need the i686 or K7 compiled kernel with the most optimisations for my CPU whitch is Athlon XP (Thorton).

i've tryedin XMMS with mdv 2007 and it was very laggy.I hope they will make a newer, updated version of XMMS with more features...

When i click on the green point in kmix the microphone works and whan i talk i heard myselve at my speakers but others cant hear me.Under Windows it works perfectly.

i have selected Record mode and +20 db but it is still the same.No change

I've downloaded Skype v1.3.0.53 but the microphone don't work.I've tryed to switch from ALSA to OSS in the Skype options but it still don't work.How to fix this?

Oh yes it runs! Thank u very much! What whas the name of the rpm which makes the gnome apps to use the kde fonts?

I've installed nvidia-8774 and dkms-nvidia and when i click on Configure 3D effects the KDE restarts itselve.

Ok i've installed the beta drivers 9625.It cannot run AIGLX but it runs XGL but the screen in KDE goes white so i can't see anything.For now it is better with the normal X server without 3D effects.I'm waiting for a newer driver of the 9x series.Thank u for support :P

What whas the name of the rpm which makes the gnome apps to use the kde fonts?

When i open "Configure your computer->Hardware->Configure 3D Desktop effects" it tells me "Your system does not support 3D desktop effects". How to use AIGLX or xgl? My video card is GF4 MX440 and support OpenGL.I've downloaded the newest driver from nvidia.com and it is the same.What to do?

"Why are people afraid of Linux?"

Because it have console.

Because it is different.

And because there are missing important programs for linux... there is no software for my GSM for linux os and thats why i have dual boot linux and windows on my PC.

Hey i installed "xsettings-kde" and it do great job! Thanx for the help ;)

Ok i've installed it but how to use it?

Edit: I saw how to use it but when i log out and then back log in it returns to previous! It dont save its changes.

Ok but i have a problem.I am selecting the new fonts and everything is good but when i log out and then log in to KDE the fonts are restored to previous and i have to run "gnome-font-properties" every time!

I've installed the Gnome Control Center and i've changed it.Thanks for the help ;)

[user@Ceco ~]$ gnome-font-properties
bash: gnome-font-properties: command not found

I've installed Terminal font which looks great at my LCD TFT monitor but i have a problem.I use KDE and i change the font in the K Control Center but my gtk apps look very ugly and the font in them isn't changed.How to change the font of the gtk apps to make them use Terminal font?

I see but the real question is other.How to recompile the rpm.src to fit best to my cpu? ;)

I saw that there is an option "--rebuild athlon-xp-pc-linux-gnu" too.So it becomes more confusible and hard to choice!

I have recompiled "kernel-multimedia-2.6.14-0.mm.7mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm" with "--target athlon" and i'm useing "kernel-multimedia-i686-up-4GB-2.6.14-0.mm.7mdk-1-1mdk.athlon.rpm" now from that build.I've used "kernel-multimedia-2.6.14-0.mm.7mdk-1-1mdk.athlon.rpm" but i don't know which is the best for my CPU. Why don't u recommend me a test point to do couse i don't know what to test ;)

I've been with "kernel-2.6.14.2mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm" recompiled with "--target athlon" too but definitely the multimedia kernel is faster than this one and the sistem is running better with 'mm' kernel.

I see that there are kernels optimized for i586 and i686 but my CPU is AMD Athlon 2000+ (Thorton).So is there any Athlon optimized kernels which will fit best to my CPU? And did the command "rpmbuild --rebuild --target athlon kernel***.src.rpm" do the same job as selecting Athlon optimizations instead i586 when compiling kernels? Thanks.

Ceco.

I mean the menu which pop up when right clicking.I want to remove the icons from that menu and not the system menu. ;)

anna thank you very much ;)

why dont u try egghelp.org ? here is a linux forum,not a irc about forum. ;]

sorry for my bad eng.

I spent 1 hour of searching in google but i dont find anything about screen recording software for linux.Did such an app exist? I just want to record to avi my desktop. I tryed with win app for recording emulated through wine but it crashed.

Is there any way to change the Mandriva menus when right-clicking? I do not want to show any icons in menus and to make the menus more smaller and simplyer couse they are very big! ;)

Edit: I forgot. I'm useing KDE 3.5.1

I've found that there is realised rpm's for Mandriva: http://people.mandriva.com/~vguardiola/xgl/

I've tasted it. XGL IS GREAT!!!

But i have some problems with the keyboard and mouse.I can't use the scroll of the mouse.I can't use the num pad of the keyboard and i can't change the input language of the keyboard. Did somebody know where is the conf file and how to setup the mouse and the keyboard to make them work?

Here is how to install it:

have the full features Xgl from mandriva :

 

1.configure the club_club repositorie (go on mirror finder to do that), then :

 

Code:

urpmi gnome-desktop gnome-panel gnome-control-center mdk-check-update-gnome gnome-themes-extras gnome-session gnome-menus gnome-audio-extra gnome-common GConf2

and some other. Some rpms have wrong or none gpg keys, it is not very importante here. install them, all. Add some other rpm if you want to be sure Gnome is entirely functionnal.

 

1.5 Open one time gnome and verify it works fine[you could create a new user if you want (to test first time)]

 

2.configure the Xgl mandriva repositorie

 

Code:

urpmi.addmedia Xgl-mdv http://people.mandriva.com/~vguardiola/xgl/ with hdlist.cz

 

 

3.install xgl.

 

Code:

urpmi compiz-xgl-compat xgl-cvs-060225-0.0.1-2 xorg-xgl-compat-2006-1.0-1 libcairo-xgl-compat-1.0.2-1 libdrm-xgl-compat-2.0-1 libglitz-xgl-compat-0.5.4-1 libsvg-cairo-xgl-compat-0.1.6-1 libsvg-xgl-compat-0.1.4-1 mesa-xgl-compat-2006-1.0-1

 

 

4. stop X and dm. in root :

 

Code:

service dm stop

 

 

5. start Gnome in Xgl, in simple user (!! user !! not root), just :

 

Code:

startxgl

 

 

that s all

 

Xgl comes with full features pre-configured ! no need to configure nothing (not like other distro). Click on little 'desktop manager' on right bottom bar and turn the desktop. (or crtl+alt+mouse clicks !). Move windows : they are .. funies ... Open a video, it is work ! open other 3d applx (as a game -nexuiz not fullscreen?- or blender) : works fine !!! (so, we have the most beautifull xgl configuration out-of-the-box). And configure with a very good startxgl on mandriva, as our startgnome or stratkde, to launch desktop entirely rootless -without dm-)

 

yeah mandriva rox.

but.. you wan,t now, have kde with Xgl ?

hehehe.. simple edit the lanuch'script and change the order. Open startxgl script and place this one in : DISPLAY=:1 startkde & (turn off DISPLAY=:1 startgnome & with an # before). but Xgl is construct for gnome, not for kde. So launch kde risks bugs...

 

Xgl ? we want ? we have !

 

6. turn off desktop session ? not need 'quit' option menu. Please use Ctrl+Alt+backspace.
