Hi I just installed 9.2 and I have a few problems.
1. I have a Logitech Quickcam for notebooks pro
and I've been using it since 9.1. In 9.1 it recognized
it and used the pwc module. I had to download the
pwcx module to get more FPS out if it and get gnomemeeting to work
so I tried to plug it in right now into 9.2 --- complete crash :(
It says its loading the pwc module then the snd-usb-audio module
b/c of the built in microphone but after that my laptop freezes
I can't ssh into to it or anything... :( any ideas on what is going on?
or how I might be able to provide more information to mandrake b/c
I really do need my webcam working---talk to family and friends :-P
2. I'm not sure why this happened but I did a very minimal install the first
time and then I installed loads of rpms once the system was running.
Prior to installing the rpms I still had mandrake menus. After that my system
menu changed to something containing "Applications" "Development" etc...
only like 4 or 5 folders in the menu with hardly anything in them. It maybe
had about 1 application or 2 per folder. Nothing crazy... I just loaded up
menudrake and took care of it but that might be something to look at.
3. My Linksys WPC11 v3 wireless card does not get configured properly.
It does recognize the orinoco_cs module that it needs and even make the
ifcfg-eth1 script but I still had to do the hermes.conf hack to get it to
work. ---> this step is on my website under tutorials. maybe take care of
this for mdk 10?
4. I have an inspiron 4000 with a rage mobility 128 w/ 8MB or ram.
It says i can choose X with 3d hardware acceleration but when i try
playing a game it is slow...very slow so tuxracer and chromium or just
not playable. i tried running other games like frozen bubble. Although
they do play I'm not sure why they don't fullscreen correctly. I see the
screen change modes but the game picture is in the center and not full
screened. It happens with alot of applications that I fullscreen. Mplayer
when I fullscreen does the same thing... screen changes modes but the picture
is in the center still small. However... KMplayer uses mplayer and
fullscreens correctly. any ideas about the 3d acceleration and fullscreening?
any help would be great. thanx :)
