Greetings,
The version of 7.1 beta that I downloaded (ISO)and installed would
not allow me to pass my promise controller infromation
to mandrake in order to install. I heard there was a corrupted
lib file on one of the mirror sites. I obtained my 7.1 beta
from ftp.linux.tucows.com in the Mandrakebeta directory
about 4 days ago. I have heard that I can get an ISO
that does work properly. My question is what site can I
obtain the ISO of Mandrake 7.1 Beta that will allow me
to pass information to install (linux ide2=0xa400, 0xa800 -
or whatever information is correct).
I have one more important question. When I am trying
to setup Xfree86 4.0 on my 7.0 Mandrake system, the
xf86config does not have a Geforce DDR in the card
database (maybe its there and I am not seeing it?),
what I would like to know is, can I use XFdrake that
comes with 7.1 beta to configure the 4.0 X server
under 7.0? If I can do this, do I just copy the
XFdrake RPM to my mandrake 7.0 system? and since
7.1 comes with two x servers (3.3.6/4.0) which
RPM should I use? or does the new version of XFdrake
work with both?
I just really want to play Quake III on my stable
7.0 system.. I will install 7.1 if I can get X 4.0
to work (and get around the bug in 7.1 beta at
install) Also I used XFree86 -configure to make
a test configuration file, but that places it in
my /root directory and is not the same as
the one located in /etc/X11 -- so I am not sure
what good that does me.. well hell.. any help on
these issues would be greatly appreciated guys..
