Re: [expert] installed XFree 4.1 from cooker- now no DRI (mga)
I went throught the following drill last week and was successful. Get http://azz.us-lot.org/kernel-drm-4.1.0.tar.gz and compile using: make linux (or something like that) The resulting .o files replace those in /lib/modules/2.4.5-3mdk/kernel/drivers/char/drm.

[expert] X uses LOTS of memory
I am using LM7.2 with an nVidia TNT Riva 32M graphics card. Using top, I noticed that the X process was using about 45% of the memory - 56M out of a total of 128M. Why should X use so much memory? I have since installed the nVidia drivers (which worked first time!), but now see X using 145% of the memory: 191M!. Hence, swap is very much in use. Can anyone tell me what is happening here and what I can do about it? Brian Schroeder _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
[expert] PPP - throughput dies
Running LM7.2, I use kppp. When connected, I keep the kppp Statistics window up all the time to watch what is happening. I have found that I rarely get a continuous flow of data, except for some times when I may have 6 or so wgets running at the same time. I realise that transient conditions do affect things considerably, but the up-and-down nature of the traffic graph - including periods of no throughput - seems a bit much. I have also noticed that when the local CPU is doing work of any significance, throughput dies. I wouldn't have thought it should have any major effect on PPP traffic. Sometimes, it gets to the point when no high-level protocol will move any data at all unless I reset my modem and re-dial - re-establishing the ppp link. Things like DNS lookups, and ntp work, but HTTP, NNTP, and FTP seize up completely. I have examined everything I can find, including all log files I can find, but cannot find anything to tell me what is happening. Is this normal? Or, what should I be looking for?

Many such files in /etc. There are also a number of these in my home directory and in /lib/modules/2.4.3-10mdk (plus a few others). Again, I did not do anything to alter the perms on these files, they are the default that went with Mandrake 8.0 and medium security install. I would like to tighten things up without overly hindering user abilities to do anything useful on the system (high security setting is terribly hindering for anything like playing games, connecting to the internet, etc). I am somewhat fearful of simply changing the perms on these files en masse because I recently tried this on my home directory as well as in the /tmp directory and it totally wrecked my system. It took me days to get things straightened out and working again. What permissions SHOULD I have on files in my $HOME directory and in /etc and /lib/modules to eliminate them from loading up my root mailbox? They must be perms that don't kill usefulness of the system by users and I don't want to wreck my system as I did before. Any suggestions?

[expert] lm-sensors install/use problems
Hi *, I've been fiddling with lm-sensors 2.5.5 recently to try to get it to work. I'm using Mandrake 7.2. I was using version 2.4.2 which does have better support for sensors devices, and patched up to 2.4.5 (but that didn't work - I got a 'ran out of input data, system halted' message, so back to the Mandrake kernel 2.2.17-mdk). I've rebuilt lm-sensors and installed it, but at present it can't access the proc file - permissions don't seem to matter, as I've run the sensors binary as root. I've put in the suggested lines in rc.local and in /etc/modules.conf that the sensors-detect program suggested. When I run 'sensors' I get one line output, can't read /proc file. I've an ASUS A7V133 mainboard, and the sensors-detect program suggested I use a via686a module, yet when I modprobe it, it says it can't be found. I then look in /lib/modules/2.2.17-mdk/misc, sure enough it isn't there. I peek in the chips directory, there is a via686a module but I can't bring the module in, I get a lot of unresolved symbols. I've made sure to run 'depmod -a'. Any suggestions? I was hoping to upgrade to kernel 2.4.5, but in looking into the kernel config file I don't see anything that exactly matches the probe that my mainboard uses. David E.

[expert] cdrecord always fail
i've a lot of problems with LM8 and cdrecord. Some weeks ago i bought a ATAPI Acer cdrw, and tried to record some cd's. Cdrecord always produced errors, so i thought the recorder was broken and i took back. I changed the cdrw with another acer. Tried this, same problem. Brought back, took another, same problem. After this, i brought back the last acer and took an yamaha 2100 SCSI. tried it. same problem. This time i'm quite sure it's not an hardware problem. I tried the cdrecord shipped with mandrake, and the cdrecord 1.11a03 (the last from the schilling site). I also recompiled the last 2.4.5 kernel. same problem. i also tried to change the media, and i tried 2 or 3 different media. No results. I started searching on deja. A lot of people have my problem, but no one get a valid and useful (for them and for me) reply. this is the report (with 1.9, the report with 1.11a03 is identical).

Re: [expert] lm-sensors install/use problems
Mandrake 2.2.x kernels have had i2c support patched in even before the 2.4.x kernels. You might need to undo your efforts and just install the appropriate lm_utils ...-mdk rpm. With 8.0 I'm using I saw some of the necessary modules in lib/modules/2.2.17/misc but the one I need apparently for this mainboard is via686a.o, which isn't in that directory. Consequently, 'modprobe via686a.o' doesn't work. I did as you suggested: I instaled the lm_utils rpm and there is little difference. The one main difference is if I load the sensors.o modules I get a different line of output from sensors: 'no sensors found' rather than 'cannot read /proc file'. This seems significant. From 'modules-dep' it would seem that sensors.o is dependent on via686a.o - but where is the via686a.o file? that doesn't work for you, it's a hardware problem.

Is the IDE channel on DMA? hdparm /dev/hdc(or whatever place your device is plugged in) Should tell you. If you are not getting DMA, you cannot write a CD, most times. Civileme

[expert] Wrong email address for self
Dear friends: For whatever it's worth: A member of the KDE list has just pointed out to me that the return address in Kmail, my default email program, for the past several weeks has been wrong. I did a fresh install of LM 8.0 about three weeks ago and during the process I had inadvertently entered [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for your understanding.

My question, are you running your X-Windows system at a DefaultDepth 16 and DRI? The reason for my question: I have a Maxtor G400 and when my Xf86Config-4 Section Screen was set for a DefaultDepth 16, which enabled the DRI my system would fault with the same errors as you are having. The ONLY way I could correct this was to change the DefaultDepth to 24 which disabled DRI for my card and system. After doing this my system now burns cd just fine. Don't know if this is you problem, but worth a try. Larry -- Sword'sEdge VoiceMail/Fax: (858) 860-6406 x1587
