Hello Mandrakers,
I've finally installed 7.2rc1 on my Amd K6-III 450 box.
Noticed these problems:
1) Kdbg-1.1.4 segfaults immediately after starting. I've tried to
compile by myself version 1.1.6 but the result it's the same. Using gdb I
discovered that, in both version, the problem is related with qt's
QString::~QString in the initialization of the static member m_unknownType
of class TypeInfo. GCC 2.95.2 compiler flaws?
2) Kcontrol font selector doesn't display M$ Windows fonts. I both
tried to import them with Drakfont automatically from W98 and manually from
NT40. Gnome font chooser correctly lists them.
3) Num-lock doesn't start with X.
4) In my first two tries I've installed hackkernel with a second choice
in lilo but when I tried to boot I saw:
Kernel panic!
Unable to read /etc/fstab ..
My partitions are:
/ -> ext2
/usr -> reiserfs
/var -> reiserfs
/home -> reiserfs
After that the 2.2.16-21mdk kernel didn't boot any more and
I wasn't able to repair the / filesystem.
After re-installation I only use 2.2.16 kernel!
5) I successfully hack Xfree-4.0.1 to use hardware acceleration for my
Matrox G400 graphic board but after recompiling kernel with k6 optimization
(I mean "real" optimization putting -mcpu=k6 in CFLAGS of
arch/i386/Makefile) any Mesa demo hangs the computer. Back to 3.3.6 h/w
acceleration.
Hope this can help your work.
Ciao.
