Try a different vo. :) Type mplayer -vo help to get a list of possibilties and then mplayer -vo 'the one you selected' <name of file>

I didn´t vote. I only like Mandriva.

Sorry for that Payasam. I missed your post with the lspci ouput. A quick googling didn´t show anything so I guess a new network card is the better solution. :)

I guess this is a question about your wireless connection or else it would be a double post. Can you tell us what you did and what errors you're gettng?

The buffer you are talking about is only used by arts so you would have pipe the sound from xine trough arts fot it to have an effect. (change audio out to arts) Can you start xine from the command line, let it play some music and post the output here?

Did you get errors when you made the new connection? If not it's probably the firewall/security settings. Disable it and try again. If it works use the Mandriva default security settings and you're safe (enough).

I thought the gimp configuration tool was just a frontend for the wacom tools. I guess I thought wrong. :) I´ve never used my tablet with krita but looking at the online help page there is config, settings, tablet entry that you could try.

System configuration files are saved in /etc. User config files in the home directory of the user (usualy as hidden files)

First install the fonts again (type urpmi fonts). Then try restarting the font server. type: service xfs start Then try to start X, type: startx

gurpmi :)

No don't go further. Step 2 is the problem. Looks like the module doesn't create a device or that we are trying the wrong devices. (Sorry that you had to go to event15. To see how many events there are just browse to /dev/input and have a look :) ). Have a look in /dev/input and see if there are other devices. (I have for example mouse for my mouse and js for my joystick.) Try everything with the stylus. If that doesn't work try reloading the module and see if any new devices get created (open a console, login as root and type: modprobe -r wacom (to unload) and modprobe wacom (to load)) If that doesn't work try creating a device. Unload the driver and type: I don't know what event the driver would use so you would need to try a few. Good luck.

It doesn't use the wacom drivers. Open a console, login as root and type: lsmod. Post the output here.

Wacom tablets are supported by Mandriva. First thing to check is wether the modelu is loaded (driver is installed). Open a console login as root and type: lsmod | grep wacom If you see something like: everything is fine and you go to point 2. :) If not, still logged in as root type: modprobe wacom and check again with lsmod if the module is loaded. 2: Now we check wich device the driver has created. OPen a console, login as root and type: cat /dev/input/eventX (where X=1,2,3...). For example you type: cat /dev/input/event3 and move the stylus over the tablet. You should now see when event3 belongs to the wacom module, all kinds of funny stuff in the console. try all eventX till you have the one used by the driver. Now log out as root and try again. If you get an error, login as root again and type: chmod 666 /dev/input/eventX 3: Editing the xorg.conf. I'll just give you mine as an example: Reboot X (ctr-alt-backspace) 4: configuring the stylus settings.(pressure etcec)c For this it's best to use the Gimp. There are other ways but this always works. Go to file, configure, input devices, advanced configuration (translated from Dutch so actual wording can be different). I've noticed that the windows mode (so the stylus doesn't leave the paper) works best. Troubleshooting: sometimes the usbmouse driver gives problems. You can unload it with (open a console, login as root blabla) modprobe -r usbmouse (you can still use your mouse after this even if it's a usb mouse :) ) and reboot X. Good luck.

There are now packages for Mandriva too. :)

Did you burn the iso as an image? (to test boot into windows, put the cd in the drive and browse the content. If you see one big file you didn't burn as image. If you see different folders you burned ok but probably the content got damaged. Download again and/or burn at slower speed) edit: looks like arctic beat me by 1 minute. I'm getting slow. :(

Rightclick the panel, choose configure, choose menu and start configuring.

So what problems do you have with the drivers? Post the errors please.

Configuration problems? Just reinstall. Will take only half an hour and all your problems are solverd. :) For video editing try avidemux. (not non-linear though)

Chabge the output format to PAL :)

So do I :)

Depends on the dependencies. :) (Can't tell till I tried it)

http://linux-sound.org/speech.html I searched somemore and it seems older versions of Mandrake (8.0 and earlier) came with IBM's ViaVoice. Perhaps an old Mandrake user still has it on a CDrom. I'm afraid I only started using Mandrake with 9.0 so can't help you there. :)

The X11R6-contrib package contains programs like xev (and a few others). It is not needed to run X, only if you need a program like xev you want to install it. Yes,. Install xorg from the MCC (no need to uninstall the old version) and then restart it with ctr-alt-backspace. After that install kde 3.5.1
