I'm on #mandrake IRC helping a guy out ATM. He installed 9.1, and KDE didn't work. I tracked it down to the same problem people are having using it over VNC - the RENDER extension was missing. I then further tracked it back - his system was using XFree 3.3.6. Since 3.3.6 doesn't provide RENDER and thus breaks KDE, I think this is a bug. The installation was an update from 9.0, so maybe it used X 3.3.6 because the old installation did, but if not then this card should default to the XFree 4.3.0 drivers. The card is an S3 Trio3D, lspci output is:
VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c368 [Trio3D/2X] (rev 02) lspcidrake -v output is: Card:S3 86c368 (Trio3D/2X): S3 Inc.|86c368 [Trio3D/2X] [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:5333 device:8a13) It needs to default to using X 4.3 with the s3virge (not just s3, note) driver. I got him to switch to this setup and KDE now works. -- adamw
