aRTee Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 I just finished my configuration page for Mandrakelinux 10.1 Community Edition. Have a look at it here: http://www.mandrake.tips.4.free.fr/configuration101.html Please give me your comments in this thread, corrections, omissions, etc. [moved from Installing Mandrake by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 One tiny correction - the best kernel to use to get the lirc modules, on 10.1, would be kernel-multimedia-2.6. This is svetljo's bleeding-edge kernel, the spirutal successor to kernel-tmb, which thomas no longer has time to update... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 oh, to clarify - that's not the same as kernel-multimedia. That would give you the old 2.4 multimedia kernel, which no longer works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aRTee Posted September 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Actually, I meant that 2.6 multimedia kernel,.. will clarify on the site. BTW Adam, you mentioned that eth0 firewire and nic eth1 had been fixed, but so far I have had 2 instances where they got swapped back, fw: eth0 and nic: eth1 - no networking until I redid the devices...

SpikeyKlitske Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 In the nvidia driver installation section you refer to : "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run" isnt the latest package NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run ?

aRTee Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Ah yeah, that was written at the time of 4496 - will add a comment about 6111 being the latest version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cornjchob Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 (edited) Great article, helped a lot, I often find myself referring to your site with any problems I may be having. However, I tried to enable transparency, and ran into a myriad of difficulties.I did the CVS grabs, and after about an hour of trouble shooting, realizing dependencies, installing autoconf, all this crazy stuff, neither xcompmgr nor transset wanted to build. Ok, fine, I don't have all day so I grab some binaries. They install real perty and I think I'm on my way. I added those lines to the end of my xorg.conf, and x crashes when it tries to start up; says it can't open my screen. When I tried to manually enter it in in vi, vi's syntax highlighting throws up on me, unless I change "Extensions" to "ServerLayout" or "InputDevice" or another section type that's already in xorg.conf. I'm running a radeon 9500 in Big Desktop mode (dual-monitor) with all the latest drivers, along with xorg 6.8.1. Any ideas? - Jay p.s. transset works, it just has no effect on the windows I click. xcompmgr tells me I don't have a composite extension (duh) and then exits.

aRTee Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Hmmm, well, if you went here (I link to this): http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=204593 you would have read this: This is extremely experimental and will most likely crash your X server one or more times. Some of these crashes can only be fixed by SSHing into the box from another machine to nuke the offending process, so if you don't have another machine to connect to your non-responsive box from, you might have to hard-reset it, which is always bad. So this is not so strange... it's just very much in development. If you want to get this fixed, I suggest that you open a separate topic about it... To be honest, it's cool but mostly because it shows what's coming next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
