  1. Well, if say, you use KDE, you could start it using Xtart and choosing it in the list.

     

    Then, make a ~/.xinitrc file and put the name of the game you want to run in there. Then, type in startx, and it'll go.

  2. I don't see a real point of using a script to launch my games instead of Blackbox... I have icons, and they're there for a reason.

     

     

    Section "Module"
    
    
    
    # This loads the DBE extension module.
    
       Load	"dbe"
    
    
    
    # This loads the Video for Linux module.
    
       Load        "v4l"
    
    
    
       Load	"glx"
    
    
    
    # This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
    
    # initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
    
    
    
       SubSection	"extmod"
    
    #Option	"omit xfree86-dga"
    
       EndSubSection
    
    
    
    # This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules
    
    
    
       Load	"type1"
    
       Load	"freetype"
    
    EndSection

     

    That's my 8.2 file... I don't know what that extmod crap is about...

  3. This won't be an issue for whoever buys the boxed set according to Ranger and Deno. Even if it's not detected as the *right* Geforce, as long as you pick Geforce the nvidia-supplied binaries will work. Any Geforce or tnt2 uses the Driver "nvidia" and the kernel module/glx module.

     

    Isn't it weird how Mandrake started putting tons of default options in the /etc/X1/XF86Config-4 file since the first 9 beta? There are glx options in there, v4l, bla bla, about 6 or 7. Before there was only one, the dbe thing.

     

    My 8.2 had v4l in it by default.

  4. Kylix (which supports Delphi and C++ Builder) is for RAD. This means, it's sorta like Visual Basic is, but using BETTER languages, and a better IDE, IMHO.

     

    Not to mention cross-platform compatability.

     

    Anyhow, I like them, but I haven't used C++ Builder at all yet.

     

    For SDL, I am using nedit (happy, ramfree17?) as my IDE, as it does all I need it to do.

  5. Well, I don't know... The GeForce2 doesn't have 3D out of the box.

     

    I just got a GF4 Ti4200 today, and it doesn't work properly with Mandrake 9.0 RC3, out of the box. I just used links to view my page and download the drivers and then I installed them.

     

    Worked like a charm.
