Hi people, Just wanted to tell you my little story about upgrading my main machine. Maybe it can be solved.
I upgraded my own desktop, a Athlon 1.4GHz, 512MB RAM, NVidia GeForce2 DDR. In 8.2, I had the NVidia GLX-package and NVidia kernel installed. After upgrade, I had a hell of a time getting it all to work. Since the nvidia-driver for X isn't shipped with Mandrake, it thought it would use the nv-driver. It didn't. But when I changed XFConfig-4 to use the nv driver, X just exited with a signal 11. Pretty confusing. So, after a little playing around, I decided to reboot into that "other OS" and download the NVIDIA-GLX en NVIDIA-kernel packages from MandrakeClub (never been happier about being a member!) and after install and changing some of the values I changed to get it to work and running XFdrake, it finally worked again. Knowing a bit about Linux and kernels and (especially important) the NVdriver, I was able to fix the problem. But there are a lot of Mandrake-users who wouldn't be able to. I don't know if this can be fixed in 9.1 or anything, but I just wanted to report it. Maybe it helps someone :) -- Regards, Tim Stoop PGP public key: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] Random quote/fortune: "But Huey, you PROMISED!" "Tell 'em I lied."
