  1. Do you know if it would help if I downgraded to xorg...-6, from my current xorg...-7? What's the difference between the two?

    yes i have removed-7 version it had an issue vith unichrome

    the differenece is updated mesa from cvs mesa_6.4 branch

    the wull be merged ifficially in xorg very soon, i guess i will have to wait for that

     

    By the way, what is dkms-drm? In fact, my question is rather: what packages are expected to be installed when the xorg one is?

    the things that is installed with xorg is xorg + new mesa

    then you should also install latest dkms-drm that is the updated kernel drivers for new mesa

     

    Another thing make sure that you have the mesa installed that i created by the -6 xorg version = -6 mesa

  2. new xorg with updated unichrome added

     

    There is actuallay 3 different version of unichrome implementations at the moment.

     

    1. the one in xorg, currently not working

    2, the one in http://sourceforge.net/projects/unichrome/ that is missing support for via xvmc harware acceleration

    3, http://www.openchrome.org/ that supports both 3d and xvmc hardware support

     

    I have built current xorg-x11-6.9-cvs20051127 rpms for mandriva 2006 with the openchrome version added.

    I have also built the Mesa-6.4.1 that is included in xorg sourca and alse a dlms-drm built from the drm source included in xorg source.

    This will provide the version of Mesa and drm that xorg is actually built against.

     

    I have never understood why mandriva only provides an old version of Mesa = 5.

    since both mesa and drm development moved to be part of xorg cvs years ago.

    is it only natural to let xorg spec build both mesa and drm , like all other distros except

    mandriva does.

     

    my xorg also has radeon tv_output fix, sis 180905 driver from http://www.winischhofer.at/linuxsisvga.shtml and mgadriver 4.2.0 it does also contain fix for greek kb.

    there is also an rpm for the The SiS Display Control Panel (sisctrl) for the sis driver.

     

    The rpms is available in my repo at http://www.mde.djura.org/index2006.0.html

  3. about the timeouts in download, i would very much recomend using the anorien mirror it has alot better bandwidth.

    about the kdm problem if you folllow the install instructions on http://www.mde.djura.org/kde2006.0.html

    it should be ok

    the trick is the same as with last kde upgrade

    or you can do as mandriva officially says is best uninstall kde and then install, but it is not needed easier and faster to do as in weppage.

    and about the arts bug there is a serious bug in 2006 gcc making kde built with this gcc have trouble.

    see here http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111115

    i have taled to the kde devlopers about this and got a workaround that should solve the arts problems

    i have only tested with noatun yet and that is fixed.

    the new rpms is available now.

    remeber the anorien mirror is synced each 15min so it is a little delay for changes.
