I did find proprietary drivers for linux. The documentation says that it supports kernels 2.4 and 2.5. I tried to compile the src, gave me lots of mistakes. I'll try to port to my kernel though it will take some time to figure it out. I'll keep you posted.

I tried the suggestion but it didn't list it. Here's the output of "ifconfig -a": eth1 Link encap:Ethernet ... lo Link encap:Local Loopback ... sit0 Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4 ... I checked that 8139too is loaded. I suspect that this specific NIC is not well supported by the module 8139too or it has to do with the kernel version. (2.6.17-5mdv) Any other ideas, in these or other directions? :)

Hello, I have a problem with a NIC that I bought recently. In the section MCC ---> Hardware, it is listed as follows: Identification Vendor: ?Hangzhou Silan Microelectronics Co., Ltd. Description: ?RTL8139D [Realtek] PCI 10/100BaseTX ethernet adaptor Media class: ?NETWORK_ETHERNET Connection Bus: ?PCI Bus PCI #: ?2 PCI device #: ?3 PCI function #: ?0 Vendor ID: ?0x1904 Device ID: ?0x8139 Sub vendor ID: ?0xffff Sub device ID: ?0xffff Misc Module: ?unknown The other NIC is fine, and its module is 8139too. When I try to set up the new NIC, it sets the old one. I found out that the new one is not listed and cannot be set up. Any ideas how to get it working?

When I execute 'mesg y', I get: mesg: error: tty device is not owned by group `tty' Just 'mesg' gives: is n This happens at tty -> /dev/pts/1 When I hit Ctrl + Alt + F1 and login with my username there, mesg is set to 'y', and I can change it to 'n' and back again without errors; I also get the message from /etc/motd that I've set before. But still don't get it at /dev/pts/1. The consequnces are that I can't use write and talk tools. I also don't get the /etc/motd stuff under the X server. Any ideas?

I don't think running it with root privileges is a good idea, though.

So the choice is between: 1. Xgl (additional graphical server) + proprietary ATI driver or 2. Aiglx or Xgl + free radeon driver, which happens to be slow. That's fine, I'll give it a try, yet I still have some problem using the proprietary driver, because the Xgl option is grayed :) I'll try the free radeon driver, just wanted to start and see the rendering with the proprietary one? Anyone worked through that? Thanks for past and future answers. :)

The description is the following: ati-kernel-2.6.17-5mdv - ati driver for Kernel 2.6.17-5mdv? ? dkms binary kernel modules for the ati driver version 8.28.8, built for the 2.6.17-5mdv kernel. In the changelog it says: * Thu Sep 14 2006 Mandrakelinux Team <http://www.mandrakeexpert.com> 8.28.8-1mdk - Automatic build by dkms Maybe that's the problem, but I haven't changed anything in the ATI packages section since the first install.

"rpm -qa | grep -i kernel" gives: kernel-2.6.17.5mdv-1-1mdv2007.0 kernel-source-stripped-2.6.17.5mdv-1-1mdv2007.0 ati-kernel-2.6.17-5mdv-8.28.8-1mdk I don't know what's the difference between the stripped version and the full version of the kernel source, yet I believe there may be some difference. Should I install the non-stripped version?

I put this at the end of xorg.conf: Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection I also changed those two lines as suggested in the post: # === Video Overlay for the Xv extension === Option "VideoOverlay" "on" to "off" and # === OpenGL Overlay === # Note: When OpenGL Overlay is enabled, Video Overlay # will be disabled automatically Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" to "on" Option "CenterMode" "off" When I enter in the MCC control center, 3D stuff is still grayed. When I use the "glxinfo" command, I get: name of display: :0.0 X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext Major opcode of failed request: 144 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent) Serial number of failed request: 15 Current serial number in output stream: 15 glxgears is working fine, but I get a message after it starts like so: Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". 1859 frames in 5.2 seconds = 360.815 FPS 2100 frames in 5.0 seconds = 416.760 FPS 4480 frames in 5.1 seconds = 880.347 FPS 4480 frames in 5.1 seconds = 887.059 FPS 4340 frames in 5.0 seconds = 866.608 FPS 4620 frames in 5.0 seconds = 916.714 FPS 4620 frames in 5.1 seconds = 899.892 FPS 4620 frames in 5.1 seconds = 904.010 FPS 4658 frames in 5.1 seconds = 907.426 FPS .......... .......... .......... I don't know what else to do, so any advice would be appreciated. :)

I don't know, maybe I have some different configurations that keeps me from disabling it, it startles me.

This is the output of the "fglrxinfo" command: Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.5)

The packages are: dkms-ati-8.28.8-3plf2007.0 ati-kernel-2.6.17-5mdv-8.28.8-1mdk ati-8.28.8-3plf2007.0 fglrx_info: No such command found on my system? Ok, I'll browse through the various threads, hope sth will come up.

Hello guys, I want to start using 3d desktop and similar effects, but when go to MCC --> Hardware --> Configure 3D Desktop Effects, it is shaded and I cannot activate it? I checked - I do have kompiz package installed. This is the output of the Hardware Section on my video card: Identification Vendor: ?ATI Technologies Inc. Description: ?Radeon 9600 AS (AGP) Media class: ?DISPLAY_VGA Connection Bus: ?PCI Bus PCI #: ?1 PCI device #: ?0 PCI function #: ?0 Vendor ID: ?0x1002 Device ID: ?0x4153 Sub vendor ID: ?0x1043 Sub device ID: ?0x003c Misc Module: ?Card:ATI Radeon (fglrx) I checked the manual, it says drak3D should install needed packages the first time it runs. Any advice for proper configuration and/or needed packages would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

I've got this, too: netfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off I guess it's still needed by some init scripts.

# chkconfig --del netfs Needed by script(s) in runlevel 2: keytable(start) keytable(stop) So as I understand, the real bug is in the netfs dependency, because I have managed to stop permanently both portmap and sshd without manual intervention. The thing is, first one should disable sshd, then portmap. I think the dependency line is something like: sshd -> portmap -> netfs So we are left with netfs? Any ideas? :)
