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.

So I thought that maybe there was a drake tool available that could be executed from the command line so that I could tell the system not to boot my id straight into the graphical environment. Also is there an editor somewhere that can be executed from the command line (NOT VI) that can be used to edit xorg.conf?

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. :)

My java plugin now works! I've only do this:

su
urpme nspluginwrapper -a

First of all, if you're using a 32-bit system you should remove the nspluginwrapper package.

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.

I didn't know that they had firefox 3.0.7 in the official 2008.1 Mandriva repos

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 was initially going to install the intel driver but found the file name is the same as what is already installed. I had assumed it was the same thing. Perhaps not?

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.

mplayer should be able to play rm files, at least they do it as firefox/seamonkey plugins.

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! :)

HardDrake still demands I install Kdebluetooth4

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?

so that we can see what files were installed, and in particular what kernel module to make sure it was mod_quickcam in one of these packages.

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.

The system does not load mod_quickcam.

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?

I just checked your USB vendor and product ID and it is too old for the new gspca, instead you need to install the qc-usb-kernel package (for your kernel) and the dkms-qc-usb package for that Cam.

After you have those packages installed, with the Cam attached please post the output (as root) of

lsusb

and

lsmod | grep -i mod_quickcam
