Hi all,
Mandrake 8.2 is a excelent distro, but I still have one problem. With Mandrake 8.1 I could have the XFree 4.x, but with 8.2 I am forced to use 3.3.6. When I select 4.2.0, I obtain a screen that blinks, that seems to be unstable and with that it is not possible to to work. With my graphics card (ATI XPERT XL), the XFree 3.3.6 version has 3D acceleration and the 4.2.0 version does not have it. Nevertheless, the version 3.3.6 seems to be slower than the version 4.1 (which I had in mandrake 8.1. working OK). I do not need 3D acceleration because I do not use the computer to play games (I would like it, but I don't have time)-:. I need a good 2D acceleration, and 4.x give (gave) this for me. Then, please, I need to know what can I do to get XFree 4.2 working in my system. Thank you. PS: When I use XFdrake, this is the info of the config when I select the 4.2.0 version of XFree: --- XFree 4.2.0 Keyboard layout: es Mouse type: IMPS/2 Monitor: Generic|Monitor multi-frecuencia que soporta 1280x1024 a 74 Hz Graphic card: ATI Xpert XL Color depth: 4 billones de colores (32 bits) Resolution: 1024x768 XFree86 server: Mach64 XFree86 driver: ati --- And this is my working (but at slower speed) config reported by XFdrake: --- XFree 3.3.6 Keyboard layout: es Mouse type: IMPS/2 Monitor: Generic|Monitor multi-frecuencia que soporta 1280x1024 a 74 Hz Graphic card: ATI Mach64 Graphic memory: 4096 kB XFree86 server: Mach64 XFree86 driver: ati ---
