  1. Use the SK98LIN driver for your 3Com Ethernet.  You'll get a [FAILED] notice on boot but don't worry about it... the card will work just fine.

     

    Download the latest ATI drivers (3.7.6 I believe) and install them from a text login as ROOT.  Do not have an X server running.  NOTE: You'll need the source kernel installed before performing this step.  It's on one of your install CD's.  You can use Mandrake's software installer from KDE or GNOME.

     

    It's also best to print out ATI's installation instructions for reference.  The install should be very straightforward though.  You'll get some errors but just follow the instruction on screen and you'll be fine.

     

    I've had no problems with an ABIT IS7-G with 3Com Ethernet and a Radeon 9600 Pro.  Runs UT2004SE well.

    afaik (from cooker mailing list) the FAILED is as a result of setting the network hotplugging setting. Unchecking it in drakconnect supposedly fixes the problem.

    I haven't bothered trying because it works fine anyways.

  2. No.  if it was a release candidate it would have been labeled such.  as this as been discussed in many different places, i'd like to avoid re-iterating the arguement here-but, according to mandrake, it is not a release candidate.

    /me giggles. anyhoo! about php.

    in the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/70_mod_php.conf

    <IfDefine HAVE_PHP4>
     <IfModule !mod_php4.c>
       LoadModule php4_module    extramodules/mod_php4.so
     </IfModule>
    </IfDefine>
    
    <IfModule mod_php4.c>
       PHPINIDir /etc
    </IfModule>
    
    <IfModule mod_mime.c>
       AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
       AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
       AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
       AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    </IfModule>

    as you can see i've opted to have .php, .php4, .phtml and .phps interpreted as php pages

    mayhaps something is amiss with your config here?

    GE-02: How to install winex from cvs

     

    1. Go to the Transgaming Website

    2. Scroll all the way down and hit I Agree if you do.

    3. Open up a console.

    4. Type

    cvs -d:pserver:cvs@cvs.transgaming.org:/cvsroot login

    When prompted for the password enter "cvs" then, again in the console type

    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:cvs@cvs.transgaming.org:/cvsroot co winex

    5. Change into the new winex directory

    cd winex

    6. Now to set some config options. Since this is the first time I'm doing this, for no particular reason, hear are mine:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-x --enable-opengl

    I tried adding --enable-sdldrv but got an error after installing libSDL1.2-devel and then just gave up.

    [*]Note: I came back to this and found that I had to do the configure step as root to have sdl-config work. The ammended command while logged in as root was

    ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-x --enable-sdldrv  --enable-opengl

    7. You may need to install some devel and other rpms, here's the list of what I had to install:

    • byacc
    • flex
    • libxfree86-devel
    • libMesaglut3-devel
    • libalsa2-devel (for Alsa drivers)
    • kernel-source (for OSS drivers)
    • libfreetype6-devel
    • libfontconfig1-devel

    8. After taking care of dependencies it's time to start the build. I did

    make depend && make

    and waited.

    9. After all that niceness

    make install

    brings it all home and finishes out the install.

    10. I suppose now you'll want to configure wine to install games. Unfortunately there are different install methods for different games so you'll have to look to google for an answer to that one :oops::furious3:

  4. It is good to be aware of it, especially if you are a major kernel hacker.  All the good distros watch it closely (actually there is an ML) and will patch and distribute their kernels very quickly.  Mandrake has an updates mailing list for all updates, including kernel.  Those notices are on this board usually at the same instant they hit my mail box.  (Some MaJik there!)  :unsure:

    we have the bash script MASTER aru to thank for that :)
