Any help would be seriously appreciated. Thanks.
It comes close One question here. What is your monitor. 90% of the
X related problems I've found are related to the wrong monitor

this card?
It's a NEC AccuSync 70 (CRT). Monitor settings seem ok.. they're the same
I've been using forever. And yeah, it's detecting all 64MB on the card now
that I'm using the binary drivers for XFree86 4.3.0.

I agree with James. I have three ATI 9000 Pros on three different installs of
MDK 9.1. When I set up X during the install, I ALWAYS have to use the generic
1024x768 @70Hz option in the monitor selection. It detects my monitor
correctly as a Gateway ev700, but using that, I never can get any resolution
to test out correctly. Come to think of it, I've had to use the generic
settings with ANY video card for this monitor.
My relevant sections (my 3d acceleration works great with the stock 9.1 Radeon
driver):
Section Monitor
Identifier monitor1
VendorName Generic
ModelName 1024x768 @ 70 Hz
HorizSync 31.5-57.0
VertRefresh 50-70
Section Module
Load dbe # Double-Buffering Extension
Load v4l # Video for Linux
Load extmod
Load type1
Load freetype
Load glx # 3D layer
Load dri # direct rendering
EndSection
Section DRI
Mode 0666
EndSection
Looks pretty similar. I have to use the binary drivers tho... no two ways
around that. Oh well.. not that big of a deal. At least now I've got a
decent resolution... =) Getting the games to behave is a completely
different story tho.

Geez... you're having nothing but rotten luck aren't you? And I thought
mine was bad... (reinstalled 9.1/PPC last week due to some not-so-smart rpm
removals, reinstalled 9.1 last night to try to fix this radeon thing,
dealing with DRI and X lockups with the r128 card, then this mess with the
radeon... lots of fun).
Went from 320FPS to about 2200FPS... much nicer. EQ runs pretty good in
winex now, and NWN looked pretty good for the 10s before it crashed.
WOW
No doubt... I almost fell over when I saw that. I was amazed. =) Then
really disappointed that the reason I had put the card in there in the first
place wasn't working too hot (EQ and NWN).
Matter of fact, EQ died pretty bad on me after about 5 minutes.

You know, I may actually have to try tuxracer out... truth be told, I
haven't given it a go once. But Frozen Bubble should be cool, although it
ran quite nicely before... I can't imagine it taking advantage of too much
3D accel.
Now if I could figure out how to make Quake2 work in 9.1, then I'd be a
*real* happy camper (to the extent that now I'm dual booting to deal with my
RPG cravings).

[expert] Mandrake in kiosk mode
I'm trying to setup a small web cafe, i have no problems with the setup of the desktop, but i have one last big problem: User managment. I would like to know if there is a way of have user logins time limited. Can i have a server with NIS (or something else) where my web cafe clients have a standart unix account, and the clients (the computers) that login at the server through NIS, but only if the user account is active. The client go to the cafe, pay one hour of use, go to a computer, login, and after that hour of use the computer logout. Is this possible using standard linux tools? Do i need another kind of software? Does someone know something that does what i need? Thanks. Francisco Castanheiro Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

As for 2.5 changing to 2.6, the estimated change is set to the end of this summer, if all goes as planned, so _maybe_ it will end up in MDK 9.2 along with the 2.4.22 wich also is planned to be released then... Of course MDK 9.2 will be at RC stage, so it's also possible that we stay with a 2.4.21 based one... that's up to the MDK guys too... Thomas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Do some searches and make sure that there are no scripts for this already written that are available online. If you implement single signon authentication from a LDAP database, you might add some fields to the users record and then create a cron script that periodicaly checks for logged in users who's time has expired. This could all be done on the central server. If you set up SSH for trusted host authentication you can use a central script to throw commands on the client machines from remote. -OR- You could use a script or two in conjunction with the at daemon. In the user's home directory you could keep a file which is not accessible to the actual user. This file could contain the amount of time remaining, if any at the end of the last logoff. When the user logs in the script loads the value in the file and does a little math to figure out when the user should be logged off. Then the script takes that information and sets up a run of your logoff script for the user in question at the calculated time. There is a setup out there somewhere called something dialogue (kdialogue?) which can be used to send notifications and warnings to the user from a script.

Why have, for example, 9.2? A series number shares common core components and has more or less compatible binaries. The 9.x series, for example, uses the 2.4.x kernel, gcc 3.x, and the binaries are (to some extent) usable on earlier versions. You can use 9.1 binaries in 9.0, just as you'll be able to use 9.2 binaries in 9.1. (Some already do, using Cooker RPMs on their 9.1 boxes.) Others please correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the gist of the numbering system. When kernel 2.6 (2.5 is development, correct?) Mandrake will probably roll out Mandrake 10 and those binaries will be wholly incompatible with 9.x boxes. Miark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Get your burners warmed up folks
Probably not. I've endured the deluge of Cooker email for a while now and can tell you that once 9.2 hits beta, it's all bug fixes until release time. If you want it in, it'll have to be before the first beta. Maybe I'm wrong (heaven knows that's happened enough :-), but I thought the odd numbered kernels (2.1, 2.3, 2.5) were experimental kernels anyway. 2.4 is stable and 2.6 will be stable braches.

Re: [expert] Failed compilation of kdelibs-3.1-58mdk.src.rpm
I've been trying to do this stuff for a few months with some successes, and some mysterious failures- here's a link to a forum at pclinuxonline with lots of great info on this subject. I still haven't solved the kdelibs and base rebuilding either. Your Duron needs the tbird opt flag. There are more optflags you should investigate- you can add them to the stock Mandrakes, and you really should create a building tree in your /home directory so you can build as user intead of root. My posts are under wrc1944.
