AgelessStranger Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hi I had a problem earlier with mandrake not loading kde, I fixed this by running XFdrake as root and playing with the settings then using startx. Now I have had the exact same problem so I did the smae thing but now XFdrake thinks that my graphics card (Gforce4 440mx) is to blame. When I try to do the test thing it says EE nvidia(gforce) try changing parameters ok no amount of parameter changing has helped. I still cannot use startx. I even edited the XF86config-4 file to get rid of the nvidia drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 hmmm.. if that graphics card refuses to work, i suggest trying another distro/live-cd (mepis? suse? yoper?...) in the meantime. you can always switch back to mandy later on and i am sure that your hardware problems with mandrake might be solved when mdk 10.1 is available. but now, i dunno what else can be done... maybe one of your gurus knows some answer. heads up. the world is still alive. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nocturnes Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Tell us where you are at with Java. I assume you have downloaded from Sun and are having issues from there. More than happy to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
