Tell us: Video Card Distro Have you installed any driver yet?

So did it work for ya? The suspense is killing me

The key to ATI on Linux is do you have DRI (Direct Rendering) $glxinfo name of display: :0.0 disabling TCL support display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 server glx extensions: GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_SGI_make_current_read, GLX_SGIS_multisample client glx vendor string: SGI client glx version string: 1.2 client glx extensions: GLX_ARB_get_proc_address, GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_MESA_allocate_memory, GLX_MESA_swap_control, GLX_MESA_swap_frame_usage, GLX_OML_swap_method, GLX_OML_sync_control, GLX_SGI_make_current_read, GLX_SGI_swap_control, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_SGIS_multisample, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group GLX extensions: GLX_ARB_get_proc_address, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_MESA_swap_control, GLX_MESA_swap_frame_usage, GLX_SGI_video_sync OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Radeon 20030328 AGP 4x x86/MMX+/SSE2 NO-TCL OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 5.0.2 note direct rendering yes and Mesa DRI Radeon 20030328 AGP 4x x86/MMX+/SSE2 This means I have DRI and I running at its max speed (AGP4x) by the way jet2k5 - That is better than I get with DRI $glxgears disabling TCL support 2118 frames in 5.0 seconds = 553.600 FPS 2186 frames in 5.0 seconds = 630.200 FPS 2140 frames in 5.0 seconds = 632.000 FPS 2194 frames in 5.0 seconds = 635.800 FPS Think you said you get around 200 FPS From your PM You get around 700 frames but around 200FPS. but we will fix that this week. :P I will probably make a ATI Mobility How-To for DRI later (my way requires a kernel 2.6 compile) btw: If a Nvidia card tries glxinfo and getts direct rendering no Im pretty sure that means nothing. Nvidia has its own DRI. Rest assured if you glxgears is over around 400 you probably have DRI on.

I speak stupid very fluently :P

Even though its a Mandrake board a lot of use here are Gentoo users.

Crashdamage do you have DRI working also? type in a terminal $glxinfo | grep direct What do you get? I get: acdispatcher@arora ~ $ glxinfo | grep direct disabling TCL support direct rendering: Yes The reason I ask is because I have a Diamond Stealth 32MB PCI card and I could never get DRI to work.

Additional note: This only applies if your kernel uses the staircase+sched* patches.. if you get something like: ERROR: could not set PID 0 to I: SCHED_ISO - policy not implemented You dont need schedtool Edit: Even though I use Gentoo with the "nitro" kernel - since I found the same program for Mandy 10 I figured someone may need it.

Nope. Im pretty sure its a 128k According to my price plan: Speed: 384Kbps-1.5Mbps downstream/128Kbps upstream Monthly Fee $26.95 PM me for some more info on it.

feralertx - Your on dsl and take 6-7 hours for 1 700mb cd? How fast is your download speed? Im on dsl and its takes me about 1 1/2 - 2 hours to download a cd @ 165k a second.

Note to all on the 10.1 release: From The release notes: and Ive been on udev in Gentoo for a while now. its a bit different. Kernel info: That is standard with the 2.6.8 kernel Added New: Check it out http://www1.mandrakelinux.com/en/101beta.php3 To answer the flood of questions: What is udev? Ripped from Gentoo docs: You can write your own udev rules! What that does is identify a spicific device and load it into the /dev directory as a link you name. Example: I have an RF cordless usb mouse. I wrote a udev rule so that when that extact mouse is plugged in it is linked to /dev/rodent. Want more info? http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php

I recently found out that the kernel I use (nitro) has a patch that makes games in cedega choppy. I found a cool program to fix the error- its called schedtool and it works like this: $schedtool -I -e cedega game.exe I have tried useing the "nice" cmmand in the past with little help but schedtool works great. Via google I found Mandy has it too http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idp...k.i586.rpm.html Try it out

Try acpi=ht or acpi=on nolapic make sure you rerun lilo when your done: #/sbin/lilo -v

Pull a Bill >>>> Reboot ./flame-vest

Be bold try it from the source: http://www.xfce.org/ They do have Mandrake rpms http://www.eslrahc.com/ Download Mirrors http://www.xfce.org/index.php?page=download&lang=en

Are we talking about XFce or XFce4? I use XFce4 on my Gentoo box and it ROCKS. My Box http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?act=Att...ype=post&id=982

Hey VeeDubb have you ever tried Franks Winex Game Manager? http://franksworld.net/wgm.html Its kind of dated now. Not sure if it works with Cedega now. When I didnt use P2P I used Franks WGM. It did a good job.

Should have tried Point2Play ./flame vest

Ugly kernel? Would that be like a Uma Thurman ugly?

That would be from Work

I'm trying to see how everyone has there setup and if they have been compromised ever. Maybe have some tips or tricks posted on catching and stopping it. No I don't think I've been rooted but for that matter I feel I've been a bit lax or lazy on security lately. Im not as secure as I should be but Im probably better than others. Here is my set up: My house is hard wired with Cat 5E to a Hub (only 10baseT) The hub is located in my Coyote Linux firewall box. Wired Set up of my house: INTERNET > > Coyote Linux > > 10BaseT Hub > > > > >Windows XP (nuclear) > > > > Windows XP (tiger) >>> Bridge >>> Gentoo Laptop (arora) > > > > Windows98 (vectra) > > > > Windows98 (elite) Ok thats my basic setup. I put each computer name beside each to easier identify them. I run a network bridge (2 Nics) on (tiger) for two reasons: 1. the HUB only has 4 ports, 2 - So it has a 10/100 connection from arora to tiger for rsync backups. Now I know that its not to good of a setup. I need to do more about security. Security: Coyote Linux Box: First and last wall of defense for me. Its a computer that runs Coyote Linux via a floppy. No hard drive just a P75Mhz, 12Mb Ram, and 2 Nics. Write protect the floppy and If I think I've been compromised I just reboot the box and change the password. I have ran port scans via GRC, Sygate scan, DSL reports, with full stealth. I have it set for no outside logins allowed. Good password used for root. No additional logins made. I have remote logging to my Gentoo box enabled and check the logs at least twice a week (usually via grep) All other boxes: Wide open no firewall or security measures. No passwords. Why ? Half lazy half easy of use. I know that its not the best but I tend to think the WindowsXP user with his new Cable connection and no firewall has more to worry about. Additional Info: I share folders from each computer to my Gentoo box via samba. I run VNC from/to all computers Each Windows XP box has a spyware and Anti virus software installed and up to date. Norton/ McAfee and Spybot/Webroot. I have different programs on each so I don't have all my eggs in one basket. Each box runs a virus scan on all drives over my entire network each night (takes about 3 hours). So the entire network is scanned via two different Antivirus programs each night. My wifes computer (nuclear) is her work computer. I also block all outbound ports via coyote to the internet except a few choice ones (web, smtp, pop). So if she gets compromised or tricked into installing maleware her computer is blocked on the outbound. >>>>> Things I plan to do: vectra - needs no outside access so I plan on blocking all outbound (internet) via the firewall elite - This is my 7 year olds computer so I plan on blocking every outbound port except port 80 via the firewall. Im thinking its time to tighten up all the computers behind the firewall. I thinking of downloading Zonealarm and installing it on all Window$ boxes. I have experience with it and how to set it to allow access. I stopped a while ago because I have trouble with Zonealarm and VNC, but Im going to try and give it a go again. So how about some Links huh? GRC - select shields up http://www.grc.com/default.htm sygate: http://scan.sygate.com/ DSL Reports: (requires java) http://www.dslreports.com/scan Home PC Firewall Guide: http://www.firewallguide.com/ Security Metrics http://www.securitymetrics.com/firewall_test.adp Other Links: World of Windows Networking: http://www.helmig.com/ http://www.practicallynetworked.com/ http://www.internic.net/ http://www.homenethelp.com/ So what is this thread about? 1. What kind of setup do you have? 2. Have you ever been compromised? 3. Do you have any tips/tricks? 4. Any Home Networking Advice (Hardware or Software) What spawned this thread? I read this on the Gentoo Forum - http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=2...ge+same&start=0 Remember years ago when a Anti Virus program was recommended? :P

I dont do it. But it seems OK so long as you dont have a dependency issue Have is a blurb from the Gentoo Forum http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=2...multiple+emerge

cybrjackle - Thanks for the links I didn't have a few of those. When I switch from dev-sources 2.6.8 to love-sources (2.6.8) it was the first time I could see a improvement in speed. Genkernel has improved by leaps and bounds in the past year so so. Hey HJ how about sharing the script?
