I'm very pleased with Mandrake 8.0. I have one fresh installation with very good hardware detection on a 133-MHz pentium. On a 600 MHz pentium I've upgraded MDK 7.0 - cooker - MDK 7.2 - cooker - MDK 8.0. Mandrake 8.0 is without any doubt the best linux I ever had (I started with DLD-5.4). Until now I found two problems: 1. when I activate antialiasing KDE doesn't start correctly: with startx I get: .... (II) R128(0): Acceleration enabled ... (II) Keyboard "Keyboard1" handled by legacy driver (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse1" (type: MOUSE) kdeinit: Shutting down running client. --------------------------------- It looks like dcopserver is already running. If you are sure that it is not already running, remove /home/uli/.DCOPserver_siemens_:0 and start dcopserver again. --------------------------------- KDE Daemon (kded) already running.
