I got my Audigy LS card to work eventually with the OSS driver from here but it only plays the two front speakers with xmms - apparently it will works as 4+1 with Xine and Ogle. I'd like to get a soundcard which works well with ALSA so I can use it with all channels - any medium/high end cards that people recommend? Using 10.1 powerpack

Type it into a console and it should appear. See here for more info

Also found MS webfonts on the NORlug repository: urpmi.addmedia norlug http://mirror.datapipe.net/norlug/mandrake-10.1/RPMS with hdlist.cz

TRy "nvidia-controls" instead - yanc doesn't work except with xfree86 surely?

Where are the xorg fonts kept?

THanks for the reply - as for font rendering I stick with "system setting" - should I change it?

Firefox is great but the fonts are really poor and look too small despite incresing the font size in preferences. Konqueror fonts are much etter - how do I get the best of both worlds? [moved from Software by spinynorman]

DId a search and couldn't see any mention of this app. Its included with the latest drivers and is accessed by typing nvidia-settings in a console. Looks something like this:

Yanc doesnt work for me in 10.1 official - anyone getting it to work?

Is madwifi included in the vanilla 10.1 distro?

If anyone has got the Nebula Digitv PCI tuner to work please post instructions - it doesn't seem to be able to find any stations

Mandrake 10 official

Looks neat - anyone know how to install it?

I try to use a DVB card which I cannot get to work. Those guys at www.linuxtv.org are very helpful but it is just way above my head. A digital tv card how-to would be nice.........

Any way of getting rid of the borders so it is just the console window that is visible?

Can this be done with x-chat? Anyone any tips? B)

Its great - just fish it was easy to tranfer mails and calendars across from outlook without a three stage process.

There is an application on the contrib sources which seems to allow this - can't remember its name though and don't know if it works

Mandrake 10 CE and the 2.6 kernel that it came with..... B)

Anyone? Any ideas at all? Is it just a case of making a new kernel and selecting options as I configure it or is there an easier way?

I am trying to get my DVB TV card to work and the linuxtv.org mailing list said the following: For a BT878 card, you'll need to enable the "I2C bit-banging interface" kernel option before you can enable the BT878 options under DVB devices. You'll also need to select the appropriate tuner and frontend devices. I'd compile them all as modules. Once, that's done, it's a matter of modprobing each module in the right order. Note that if you don't pass bttv the correct parameters, it'll probably hang your machine. They're documented in the dvb driver docs. How exactly do I do that? Surely if the card has been detected during installation it will have enabled that stuff already - any way to check?

Just go into configure your computer and add new LAN connection and eth1 or whatever should be there and you can configure ip address etc
