I don't quite understand your setup and problem. Is the print server a Linux box, Windows box, or dedicated device? Are you having problems printing from Linux or Windows? I don't know much about all this, but I am able to print from Mandriva and Windows to a Canon USB printer connected to the print server built into my Netgear router. The following post shows how I did this in Mandriva. I first installed the printer and drivers with the Canon USB printer connected to the USB port on my computer. After this, I moved the printer to the Netgear router, then set up as below. http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?p=506242#506242

Glad you got over at least one hurdle. :) Sorry, I don't have answers regarding your MP3 player.

Make sure in MCC's "Install & Remove Software" that you have the leftmost button set to "All" and not to the default "Packages with GUI".

I am glad you got it sorted! :)

You CLI guys! I was just poking around and found I also have the following installed. Not sure if you need it all.

URPMI is the command line installer. Software Installer that I am talking about is the GUI installer. Software Installer is listed in the main Menu and in mcc as Install & Remove Software.

Give RJ549's solution a try then. http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=79053

I see you used URPMI to get your drivers. I have not used URPMI to download and install software. I am not sure what you actually got with the commands you gave. You may have downloaded different versions of fglrx and that might be your problem. Why don't you uninstall everything fglrx and start over, using Software Installer instead. I am currently logged onto Mandriva 2008.1, and I only see 3 fglrx drivers installed. dkms-fglrx - ATI proprietary kernel module, version 8.501 fglrx-control-center - AMD Catalyst Control Center Linux Edition, version 8.501 x11-driver-video-fglrx - ATI proprietary X.org driver and libraries, version 8.501 I also checked the mirror, and only 4 fglrx backport drivers are listed - the 3 above, and the one below (which I do not have installed). ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/...free/backports/

Here is how I did it: http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=74691

I am not using Mandriva at the moment, so I can't look at my xorg.conf file. You might try running the command as su: run /usr/bin/aticonfig --initial , then reboot. I understand this is to clear the xorg.conf file when using the driver downloaded from ATI's site. It might work with Mandriva's drivers. Note: ATI says: Launch the Terminal Application/Window and run /usr/X11R6/bin/aticonfig --initial to configure the driver. Turns out this path is wrong. It should be run /usr/bin/aticonfig --initial to configure the driver. Also, take a look at this. This is an errata entry for 2008, but I am guessing it may apply to your situation. http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Releases/Mandr...08.0/Errata#ATI

I have had success with Mandriva's rpm's and with the driver downloaded from ATI's site. See how I did it in the following thread. http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=74051 Near the end of that thread I wrote: "BTW, after I installed the driver from Backports, before I went to set up the Graphical Server, I made sure I had no internet connection, then I chose the ATI driver. When the dialog box popped up asking if I wanted to use the propriatary driver I clicked 'Yes', and XFDrake tried to download the driver." Adam W replied that this is not a problem. However it has been a problem in the past, and I do not trust leaving the internet connected when configuring the driver.

Perhaps my experience with installing the ATI driver for my ATI Mobiity Radeon 9600 adapter will be of help. http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=74051

Ctrl + Alt + Backspace does not work with the propriatary ATI driver in KDE. I have not used Gnome, but I believe I read that it does work in Gnome. IIRC, it also works fine with the XORG drivers. Here is another thread on the issue: Logout error

I haven't tried KMail, but instead have been using SeaMonkey Mail 1.1.11 which is an update of Netscape Mail 7.2. I use SeaMonkey Mail in Windows XP, but SeaMonkey is available for Linux as well. You can open the mail application portion of the suite without opening the browser. This is what I have been using for a number of years now (Netscape Mail > SeaMonkey Mail). For me, it does what I want and I have been very happy with it. My preferred browser is Opera, but many prefer the SeaMonkey browser to Opera or Firefox. If you have ever used Netscape 7.2, SeaMonkey is just like it (even visually), but it does have some added features and security updates. I like the fact that it has remained a stable platform for a long time now. http://www.seamonkey-project.org/

Does this command work to flush the DNS Cache? Might make a difference. /etc/init.d/nscd restart

I'll take a guess and say that you need to set Locales to UTF-8 or else install Locales.

I find that an admirable quality. I endeavor to do the same myself, but I have nowhere near your expertise. Congratulations on getting published! It's got to be a great feeling!

I don't have your answers, but I saw the following links posted elsewhere and thought they might help. http://wiki.eeeuser.com/#mandriva_2008 http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewforum.php?id=46

See if my thread here will solve this for you. Setting up OpenDNS with at&t Sierra Wireless 860 AC [solved]

Caveat: I have not used Cooker or any beta or release candidates from Mandriva. I believe the purpose of the "'One' installer tells you that you really don't need the following 'X' number of packages on your system and would you like to remove them?" is to remove packages that your hardware does not support. For instance, if you have an NVidia card, you would not need the ATI drivers. In previous versions of 'One', you got drivers for everything under the sun, whether you could use them or not. A side effect of all this is; everytime you update the system, these useless drivers got updated as well, using up time, bandwidth, and disk space.

Are you logged in as su (root)?

The following is reported in Mandriva 2008.0 that has been updated. By any chance are you experiencing this? Booting issues after a recent update of 2008.0 Try the following command in Konsole: /sbin/prcsys --test S /etc/rc5.d and see what it reports. Look for an error similar to: WARNING! Loop detected haldaemon -> messagebus -> Ignoring requires messagebus

I suspect you just did not set it up right. See below how I set up kppp to work with my cellular PC Card modem. Of course your setup will be a little different. BTW, kppp is just a front end for ppp - same as wvdial. http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?p=399588#399588
