This is your problem. When you select your card from XFdrake (set up the graphical server), it should ask you if you want to use the proprietary driver, click on 'yes'.

It appears that you're using the proper module, so it's just a matter of going to mcc > network & internet > set up a new network interface, and follow the instructions.

You have everything installed that you need for that card. You could remove the nvidia-current-kernel-2.6.27-desktop-0.rc8.2mnb-177.70-1mdv2009.0 package if you no longer use that (2.6.27-desktop-0.rc8.2mnb) kernel. As daniewicz has already noted, you need direct rendering for the 3D effects. So please follow medo's instructions and see if that works for you. Please let us know if you still have any problems.

We could see if it's loaded with the output of lsmod | grep rt73usb

We need some more info, please post the output of uname -r and rpm -qa | grep nvidia and glxinfo | grep -i direct

It's the first day of Spring here, so I gave my old lappy a face-lift.

If you have a slow connection or you're still using dial-up, Opera Turbo is now available for testing: labs.opera.com/news labs.opera.com/downloads

Yep, you can select a different driver with XFdrake. Just scroll down to the nv driver and hit enter.

You can use drakboot, then uncheck the 'launch the graphical environment when your system starts' box, and click on OK. I prefer nano over vi for an editor, but you have to install it first. Also here's a post from AussieJohn on how to use vim/vi for your problem. And just for the record, I've been using Mandriva 2009.0 with the KDE 3.5.10 DE since it was released without any problems at all. :)

That was my first suggestion. :) Anyway, for completeness of this topic. You can upgrade to Firefox 3.0.7 on a 2008.1 system with urpmi using the --allow-nodeps and --allow-force options. You only need to install: - gnome-python-gtkmozembed-2.19.1-10.9mdv2008.1.i586 - libgluezilla0-1.2.6.1-2.9mdv2008.1.i586 - libxulrunner1.9-1.9.0.7-0.1mdv2008.1.i586 for it to work properly.

OK, I've just booted up a 2008.1 system and updated the media. (Please note that I already had firefox 3.0.1 installed from /main/backports.) Then I went to upgrade firefox 2.0.0.19 to firefox 3.0.7 in /main/updates and this is what you get: To satisfy dependencies, the following package(s) also need to be installed: - firefox-en_GB-3.0.7-0.1mdv2008.1.i586 - gnome-python-gtkmozembed-2.19.1-10.9mdv2008.1.i586 - libgluezilla0-1.2.6.1-2.9mdv2008.1.i586 - libxulrunner1.9-1.9.0.7-0.1mdv2008.1.i586 - mailcap-2.0.4-20.1mdv2008.1.noarch - nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-2mdv2008.1.i586 - seamonkey-1.1.9-1mdv2008.1.i586 - totem-mozilla-gstreamer-2.22.0-4.9mdv2008.1.i586 This is more software than I want, need, or I'm willing to install on my 2008.1 system for firefox 3.0.7! :blink: I don't have the time tonight to check this, but I will take a look at it later this week. If you are still having problems, maybe someone else here that is using 2008.1 can help you more with this than I can.

I would suggest trying both of the java-plugins, and use the one that works best for you. I didn't know that they had firefox 3.0.7 in the official 2008.1 Mandriva repos, if that's where you've installed it from you will not need the symlink. Sorry for the confusion. :)

First of all, if you're using a 32-bit system you should remove the nspluginwrapper package. Then you can select what java version you what to use with alternatives --config java Then test your java-plugin again. If you are still having problems (I think you are using Mandriva 2008.1), and you have installed the firefox package from the mozilla site to your ~/home directory, you will need to make a symlink to libjavaplugin_oji.so in your Mozilla Plugins directory. Use the copy located in your java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.xx/jre/plugin/i386/ns7 directory and symlink it to your new firefox/plugins directory.

I'm not sure, it's just that I've read where some users have had more luck with that in the past. If that doesn't work for you, it appears that you currently only have the vesa module available to give you a greater resolution than 800x600.

This works for me also, but you must have the mplayer and the real-codecs packages installed from the PLF repos.

Have you tried to use the sis_drv_src available from intel's d/l center here: Intel® Desktop Board D201GLY2 Welcome aboard! :)

There's already a bug report on this, but would you please add your info so it gets some more attention, and maybe fixed. Here's: bug #44828

I'm glad you have it working! I'll give you two links to info that should help you understand the kernel names: This is - Choosing a Mandriva Kernel and these are changes in the - 2009.0 release notes. I hope that helps you out. :)

You need to install the qc-usb-kernel-desktop-latest package for that kernel, instead of the qc-usb-kernel-desktop586-latest that you have installed. That is why you are getting the 'module not found error' when you try to modprobe mod_quickcam.

If that's the case, is a new woman every 6-12 months or so good for productivity?

It appears that you have two kernels installed, 2.6.27.19-desktop586-1mnb and 2.6.27.19-desktop-1mnb. So we need to know which one you are using, please post the output of uname -r

OK, rename fstab to fstab.bak, then rename fstab.old to fstab and reboot the system. Please let us know if that works for you?

All of the qc-usb-kernel packages in the official repos provide the mod_quickcam module. We just need to know if he's using it. :)

Please post them both here, so we know for sure.

OK, that is your problem. Let's see if it's using gspca lsmod | grep -i gspca if it's using gspca, then you will have to blacklist gspca and use mod_quickcam. Do you understand and know how to do this?
