shimshon Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Check out http://www.openchrome.org/ This is an open-source driver for your video chip. The vesa setting should get you a graphic screen until you install the driver. Hi I checked this site out, but how do I exactly install the Driver? Do I just type this "svn co http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome" in a terminal and then Enter and then "svn update"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there is no need to pick+build the driver from that subversion repository- nor this is the right way to get things from subversion. The driver is already compiled by Thac for Mandriva 2006: http://www.mde.djura.org/ Just search here or on the above site how to set the Thac repo to your urpmi sources.

shimshon Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Well, this is so new to me and very challenging & intresting. I should start doing some reading. To be honest - I didn't understand anything!! (epo,Thac, etc...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shimshon Posted July 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I want to update my graphic driver. In the console I typed this: [root@bzq-84-108-100-88 shimshon]# svn co http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome and I get following answer: bash: svn: command not found [root@bzq-84-108-100-88 shimshon]# I got this code from: http://www.openchrome.org/trac What is going wrong?

scarecrow Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 What is going wrong? su -c "urpmi subversion" Then go on... But this isn't the only miss: You are trying to run the svn command as root, which is a very big mistake. Always run svn, cvs or any build procedure as plain user... only installation should be done as root. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
