Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 I have XFree86-4.1.0-17mdk running on my box and when I try to upgrade it to XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk, I get these dependency issues: error: failed dependencies: XFree86-libs = 4.2.1 is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk ld-linux-x86-64.so.2()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libGL.so.1()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libGLU.so.1()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libICE.so.6()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libSM.so.6()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libX11.so.6()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libXaw.so.7()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libXext.so.6()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libXfont.so.1()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libXft.so.1()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libXi.so.6()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libXmu.so.6()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libXmuu.so.1()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libXpm.so.4()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libXrender.so.1()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libXt.so.6()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libXtst.so.6()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libc.so.6()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libcrypt.so.1()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libdl.so.2()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libdps.so.1()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libfreetype.so.6()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libgcc_s.so.1()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libgpm.so.1()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libm.so.6()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libncurses.so.5()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libpam.so.0()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libpam_misc.so.0()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libpthread.so.0()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libz.so.1()(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libcrypt.so.1(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-6.2mdk XFree86 = 4.1.0 is needed by XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.1.0-17mdk XFree86 = 4.1.0 is needed by XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.1.0-17mdk Why do I want to upgrade, you ask? I just installed the NVidia GeForce4 card and when I try to run HardDrake, the screen goes black and I have to do Ctrl-Alt-F2 and back to Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get my desktop back. I figure it has something to do with the card, since it only started happening since I installed the card and there is no option to select GeForce4 in XFdrake and if I select GeForce3, it reverts back to Generic VGA (or unknown SVGA)...that's the message in the console also, when I run harddrake from the console: Generic VGA (or unknown SVGA) The latest NVidia drivers are installed and running.

Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 The display problems happen whether I am loading agpgart or nvidia and I cannot enable FastWrites or SBA with yanc (or get AGP higher than 1x due to my AMD Irongate chipset). See also this thread: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=3764 To change the chipset, I actually have to change my MoBo? If so, how hard is it to change a MoBo? Can an amateur do it?

bvc Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Try choosing GeForce2 instead of 3. 4 chipsets are closer to 2's than 3's. I was going to try for XFree86-4.3 in 9.0 and threw the idea out the window after seeing much the same list of deps. All I can suggest is to start adding a lot of sites to your urpmi sources/list or start downloading. Either way it's not fun that's for sure. Personally I'd download a little here and there into an MyUpgrade dir til I had everything, then add MyUpgrade to urpmi....better than tying up my 56k modem for a day, which I can't do because I only have one line :lol: . Or better yet....download 9.1 while you sleep with d4x. That's what I did for 9.0...only took a week for all three CD's :P I think anyone with common sense can change a MoBo.
