i added acme to my session so that every time it loads x it will load up

menu > configureation > gnome > advansed > sessions

then add the cmd to that

Now I've got most of my hardware working to some degree in Mandrake, theres a few things I still have to ask..

1st off, how do I configure the 3rd mouse button?

A:mandrake controle center > hardware > mouse

Second, is there any way of configuring extra buttons on my keyboard? I have buttons for a media player, email, internet, search etc.. (Logitech Internet Navigator Keyboard)

A: mandrake controle center >software > install packages > in the serech look for acme and install it all my multimedia keys work

Lol keep readin theres more.. Has anyone got a Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 working in Mandrake?

A: dont know i dont have any cams yet

Does Mandrake support usb mass storage devices? I've got an 128Mb usb memory stick..

A: YES my 6 in 1 memorey card reader works and auto mounts any memory cards i put in it so in thery it shound work

Last but not least.. When trying to add my scanner (Canon D1250U2) Mandrake does list it however says something on the lines of "This scanner is not supported in this version of Mandrake". Does that mean someone is going to add it later?

A: probly but is it usb or scsi or printer port ya can probly futzs with it to get it to work google it might find help out thare

By the way I bought all this stuff before I started trying out Mandrake, I'll know to take more care over what I'm buying in the future

Good point hehehe

but i did it the outer way waround bought new system and had to get it all worken right so i coule use all the featuers i had

heheheheh :P

try /dev/sda1 name the partion

sda is the device

sda1 is the partion

check to see if your esd is running caue if ya kill that it will come back i have that same prob and that seems to fix it but esd seems to auto run on its own cant figuer it out how to stop it from running

i am also using the alsa drivers for that card

i had to recompile the kernel and enable probe all scsi luns to get ride of that error and my 6-in 1 meadia card reader stared working

ok thx dusty1000 the compiles just fine it was the defconfig i couldent rember it ant on the ofical docs as far is i can tell

6-in-1 reader works too

ok i have tried to compile a kernel with that but it fails i have flowed the instructions dbut still fails maby a link to the cooker kernel

my 6 in 1 made by emachine's dont work it gives a ldm partion read error

dont know how to fix it

any help

go to gaim.sf.net and then to the link pointing to cvs

to install the develemnt files for your window manger in the mdk control center

it will do that i also does that when ya use the mdk crontrol center

any time ya use root in the user it will do that

its more of an annoice than any thang else

just go to gaim.sf.net and getthe new info to log in to the cvs

i had to scrap the gaim dir a few tims since i have bine using the cvs systems

i have all my devloment packages installed and i compile gaim from cvs

so that i have the bleeding edge

and its awsome
