Subject: glx , Suse 7.0 , X crashes system.
Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2000 21:08:22 -0500
I am running suse 6.4 and upgraded to 7.0 professional
i then updated Xfree4.0 to Xfree4.0.1 from Suse.
the system is up an running. However i cannot get
Glx to work even after installing from Suse ftp server.
if i include load "glx" in my XF86Xconfig it does come up clean
whenever i run xtraceroute the screen goes out of freq ranges and does
not come back(monitor is sony multiscan 100GS)
i don't get any errors that point to Nvidia Glx extensions from Suse.
How can i get this (glx) to work either from suse or nvidia.
i have PII -400Mhz with a viper 770 ultra.
running suse 7 prof and Xfree4.0.1
thanks for your time.
I reinstalled the RPMs and this time is got the X to send my Monitor
into
unsupport Ranges.
Below is the Log. It's long.

Many thanks, Michel, for the warning about Corel. Having recently installed a second
hard disk and spent many hours setting up partitions and moving partitions from the old
to the new, the last thing I want is to have anything mess them up!!! Since my
original
posting, I have checked the Corel version: it is 1.0. Is that a bad or good one??
I do have PowerBoot installed and with it can hide all partitions except the one to
install into, which can be made active. Do you happen to know whether this avoids any
risk of the partition table being mangled?
Jim.

At the lilo prompt enter "linux 3" which will take you to the text
console where you can correct the problem from the command line. Then as
root you can use "startx" to test the changes and if you still have
problems you can use the "CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE" to get back to the text
console. Once you have corrected the problem and have it working you can
as root enter "init 5" to get back into X and login to a user account.

Subject: 2.2.18 pre kernels
Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 10:57:24 +0800
Hi All,
Can anyone tell me where I can get the latest 2.2.18 pre kernels.
I've tried looking in www.kernel.org and can find 2.2 series
kernel up to 2.2.17 (latest) and 2.4.0-test series but no 2.2.18-pre.
Thanks
Andrew
