I'm using another, more comfortable method, in my opinion. 1. Log in in a console as a root user. 2. Type kwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf 3. Edit Your xorg.conf file, and save changes. You can also put a shortcut on Your desktop to Konqueror, which will be started by a root user. The starting command, which I'm using, is konqueror --profile filemanagement. Ofcourse clicking on this shortcut gives me root privileges in Konqueror, so I can edit any file I want.

Thx much for Your reply scholle. In the future I will remember to use rpms from web site, the address to which You gave. Now I have another problem. Because I had to reinstall my Mandriva (some filesystem issues), I'm again compiling Kaffeine :P It uses GStreamer (0.8.10 according to readme file), and my problem is related with it. I got this error (...)/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcoregrind collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: *** [libgstreamer-0.8.la] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving folder `/home/zibi1981/Pobieranie/AudioWideo/gstreamer-0.8.10/gst' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving folder `/home/zibi1981/Pobieranie/AudioWideo/gstreamer-0.8.10/gst' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving folder `/home/zibi1981/Pobieranie/AudioWideo/gstreamer-0.8.10/gst' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving folder `/home/zibi1981/Pobieranie/AudioWideo/gstreamer-0.8.10' make: *** [all] Error 2 Any ideas?

Couldn't find a topic related to my problem, so I decided to start a new one. The problem is I wanted to have newest version of xine possible, so I downloaded sources of 1.1.4. I was guided by instructions on the project's website. The configuration and later compilation processes ended without problems. Later I also added /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig. Then I wanted to compile the newest Kaffeine ver. 0.8.3. Unfortunatelly the compilation process process was terminated by an error (...)kaffeine.cpp:278:5: warning: "KDE_IS_VERSION" is not defined kaffeine.cpp:278:19: error: missing binary operator before token "(" kaffeine.cpp: In constructor ‘Kaffeine::Kaffeine()’: kaffeine.cpp:225: error: incomplete type ‘KApplication’ used in nested name specifier kaffeine.cpp: In member function ‘void Kaffeine::unloadCurrentPart()’: kaffeine.cpp:325: error: ‘kapp’ was not declared in this scope kaffeine.cpp:331: error: ‘kapp’ was not declared in this scope kaffeine.cpp: In member function ‘void Kaffeine::slotLoadPart(const QString&)’: kaffeine.cpp:433: error: ‘kapp’ was not declared in this scope kaffeine.cpp:466: error: ‘kapp’ was not declared in this scope kaffeine.cpp: At global scope: kaffeine.cpp:780: warning: unused parameter ‘dir’ kaffeine.cpp: In member function ‘void Kaffeine::loadConfig()’: kaffeine.cpp:809: error: ‘kapp’ was not declared in this scope kaffeine.cpp: In member function ‘void Kaffeine::saveConfig()’: kaffeine.cpp:876: error: ‘kapp’ was not declared in this scope kaffeine.cpp: In member function ‘void Kaffeine::slotQuit()’: kaffeine.cpp:1577: error: incomplete type ‘KApplication’ used in nested name specifier kaffeine.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void Kaffeine::closeEvent(QCloseEvent*)’: kaffeine.cpp:1582: error: ‘kapp’ was not declared in this scope kaffeine.cpp: At global scope: kaffeine.cpp:1895: warning: unused parameter ‘name’ kaffeine.cpp:1895: warning: unused parameter ‘channel’ kaffeine.cpp:1895: warning: unused parameter ‘datetime’ kaffeine.cpp:1895: warning: unused parameter ‘duration’ kaffeine.cpp:1904: warning: unused parameter ‘device’ make[4]: *** [kaffeine.o] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving folder `/home/zibi1981/Pobieranie/AudioWideo/kaffeine-0.8.3/kaffeine/src' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving folder `/home/zibi1981/Pobieranie/AudioWideo/kaffeine-0.8.3/kaffeine/src' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving folder `/home/zibi1981/Pobieranie/AudioWideo/kaffeine-0.8.3/kaffeine' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving folder `/home/zibi1981/Pobieranie/AudioWideo/kaffeine-0.8.3' make: *** [all] B??d 2 Any help would be appreciated :)

And what kind of error did the installation process showed? Can You post the exact description of it?

And I have a problem in setting refresh rate of my Sony CPD E-230 to 100 Hz with 1024x768 after I successfully installed ATI Proprietary Driver ver. 8.33.6 on my Radeon X800Pro. After I did some modifications to my xorg.conf the highest setting I have is 1024x768@85 Hz, although there is an option of 100 Hz, but it's not working. Anyone encountered a similar problem?

Still no response... :sad:

What do You mean by "disappeared"? Is it that after booting up You see the text console? If so, have You been trying to install something on Your Mandriva, graphic card drivers i.e., before this had happend?

I have probably the same issue. Just checked. Do You have any pop-up windows with some errors when trying to view "Help" files? I don't. Maybe it's a software bug.

3D desktops are still pretty buggy, so I wouldn't count on them as on a stable environment. Of course I read some info from people using it without bigger problems, but I'm affraid it all depends on the hardware You have. Till now I couldn't make AIGLX or XGL to work properly on my Radeon X800Pro i.e. They're nice if You are curious and just want to play for a while, but not yet to work on them all the time. That's of course my own opinion.

I did as You wrote, and got the result...

Well, I finally was able to install ATI Proprietary Driver using customization for Mandriva 2007. Everything went O.K. Could You describe precisely how did You try to install them on Your system? What did You do step-by-step? Maybe with that info I could be helpfull.

I did that before. Maybe kernels 2.19.X and 2.20 are different in so many ways, that I shouldn't have used .config file from the first, to compile the second. Does anyone have any idea what "syntax error near unexpected token" mean?

And what I have to do, if the .config file was taken not from currently running kernel (this one is a standard 2.6.17), but from one I managed to compile before I reinstalled my Mandriva? :mellow: I have it because I saved it before reinstallation.

I'm not sure whether I placed this thread in a correct section :unsure: I've got a problem when compiling a new kernel 2.6.20. Well, I used my old .config file, from 2.6.19.1 and then did a little check up, and all seemed to me fine. Then I typed in console "make all" and here's the output [root@localhost linux-2.6.20]# make all HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/i386/Kconfig CHK include/linux/version.h UPD include/linux/version.h /bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `(' /bin/sh: -c: line 0: `set -e; echo ' CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h'; mkdir -p include/linux/; if [ `echo -n "2.6.20-Zibi1981(2.6.19.1)" | wc -c ` -gt 64 ]; then echo '"2.6.20-Zibi1981(2.6.19.1)" exceeds 64 characters' >&2; exit 1; fi; (echo \#define UTS_RELEASE \"2.6.20-Zibi1981(2.6.19.1)\";) < include/config/kernel.release > include/linux/utsrelease.h.tmp; if [ -r include/linux/utsrelease.h ] && cmp -s include/linux/utsrelease.h include/linux/utsrelease.h.tmp; then rm -f include/linux/utsrelease.h.tmp; else echo ' UPD include/linux/utsrelease.h'; mv -f include/linux/utsrelease.h.tmp include/linux/utsrelease.h; fi' make: *** [include/linux/utsrelease.h] Error 2 Anyone maybe know what's all about? [moved from Software by spinynorman]

I didn't know that. Learning something new every day :P

Well, according to wikipedia, gcc (GNU Compiler Collection) ver. 4.1.1 includes front ends for: Ada (GCC for Ada aka GNAT), C, C++ (GCC for C++ aka G++), Fortran (GCC for Fortran aka GFortran), Java (GCC for Java aka GCJ), Objective-C and Objective-C++.

And what program is it?

I'm pretty sure K3b can burn multisession CDs, because I've been doing it using K3b version 0.12.17.

I think the best and the easiest solution possible is to configure Your repositories (see Easy-Urpmi), and then just type in console as root urpmi gcc and done. Of course You don't have to pay for it. It's a GNU project, so it's OpenSoftware.

It's true, lots of apps don't get added to Menu list. But for me it's not a problem to add them manually. And is that a problem for You guys? It's just a minute or two and it doesn't hurt at all :P

I think all is running fine. Thx much :D

I'm back home for the weekend, so now I can make use of some suggestions :D It seems, that I already have these fonts installed on my system [root@localhost zibi1981]# rpm -qa | grep urw-fonts urw-fonts-2.0-16.1mdk and I'm still getting this strange error when trying to start avastgui [root@localhost zibi1981]# avastgui (process:6199): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib (process:6199): Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers ** (avastgui:6199): WARNING **: Cannot load font for XLFD '-urw-helvetica-medium-r-normal--1-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-13 ** (avastgui:6199): WARNING **: Cannot load font for XLFD '-urw-helvetica-bold-r-normal--1-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-13 There's another problem. When I start XGL I'm getting the same problem as with avastgui - no fonts at all. Maybe I'm missing another package containing some other fonts??? :unsure: EDIT Still no one hasn't got any idea how to solve this?

Well, I'm not an expert, and never had to cope with such a problem, but according to this article, I would try openssl, if I would be You.

And do You have any problems with this site when using Opera 9.1, Firefox 2 or Konqueror?

Based on my short experience with Mandriva 2007, I could guess, that probably You'll find Your installed programmes in /usr/bin folder. All the software I have installed on my OS was stored in there, as far as I remember.
