Is 3D-Desktop enabled or disabled?

Have you checked bugzilla already? Sounds like a bug to me.

 

http://qa.mandriva.com

[isamu]

thanks arctic, no the 3d is not enabled [in fact I dunno how to do that?=)]

I get curious bcause when the fail suceeds my mouse section in gnome System > mouse dont work, so I trace back the link and I found the gsynaptics pack is NOT installed by default so hopefully instaleed the pack and happy end bro. Thanks.

 

So at the end if you are using gnome 2.24 with a synpatics touchapd you must install the gsynpatics add in order to make your cursor again.

Thanks to all who read this

I do have a synaptics touchpad on my laptop, as well as Gnome 2.2.4 (although I very rarely use it), and the touchpad is working great, without any gsynaptics need.

[isamu]

dear scarecrow are you making reference to gnome 2.2.4 or 2.24? the issue related here its to the last one =)

[scarecrow]

Last one, 2.24

It's certainly working without gsynaptics, and I don't find any good reason to believe that Mandriva explicitly packed Gnome with an odd dependency.

I'm talking about the 32-bit version, but why the 64-bit one should be different?
