Hi, Since 8.2 is new, I'm posting here... which raises the question: is there a period after which 8.2 problems belong in expert? 5 days? 2 weeks? +|-?
Pierre System: old P/MMX/200 80MB 20GB system. Install ------- BEAUTIFUL!! LM8.1 never would install from its CD1 -- had to use alt2 kernel because CD would always timeout... fixed in 8.2; installed on FIRST try... :^) THANKS! Overall, VERY NICE!! dmesg oddity (new in 8.2) ------------ hm, page 05000000 reserved twice. X - On Princeton Ultra 71 & "00:08.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage II+ 215GTB [Mach64 GTB] (rev 9a)", X 4.2.0 has serious monitor sync loss problems... screen loses sync continuously, and randomly ( 2-10 second intervals) goes totally black for 1-3 seconds. Works fine with 8.1's 4.1.0 and 8.2's 3.3.6... XFconfig-4 files are virtually identical (only "psaux" vs "mouse" in 8.1) sound ----- 00:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 02) Does not start (same as 8.1) -- requires running my "fixsound" script (http://pfortin.com/Linux/LM8.1sound/fixsound) which gets sound going. Sound mixer shows two tabs: Ensoniq ES1371 and SigmaTel STAC9708. ES1371 is the correct one, yet mixer gives "Invalid mixer..." and SigmaTel shows controls... pretty much the same as on http://pfortin.com/Linux/LM8.1sound/ (System #1)... [I won't have time to create LM8.2 versions of my pages for a few days...] ohphone ------- Install fails... requires --force... # urpmi ohphone To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed (15 MB): openh323_1-1.8.0-3mdk.i586 libSDL1.2-1.2.3-6mdk.i586 pwlib1-1.2.12-2mdk.i586 ohphone-1.2.0-2mdk.i586 Is it OK?
