Subject: Mandrake 7.2 and XFree 4.0.2 Help!
Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2001 13:28:11 -0500
Hi!
I recently installed XFree86 4.0.2 from the RPMs rebuilt for Mandrake
7.2. My 3D acceleration broke when I did however. In
/var/log/XFree86.0.log the error appears to be this:
(EE) R128(0): R128DRIScreenInit failed (DRM version = 1.0.0, expected
2.1.x). Disabling DRI.
(0): [drm] failed to remove DRM signal handler
(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel
DRIUnlock called when not locked
So I downloaded the DRI CVS tree and tried to compile the
/xc/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel directory
which contains the r128 kernel module I need (I don't have enough space
to make World like DRI suggests). When I placed the built module in the
appropriate place (well, where Mandrake put the old one anyway) and
rebooted (yes, I know this isn't really necessary) an lsmod said that
r128 was initializing, but the agpgart module was not loaded. After
disabling DRI in my XF86Config-4 file I rebooted, installed the modules
in the proper order (they loaded without errors) then reenabled dri and
restarted X. When I tried to run the Mesa gears demo I got an error
where it appeared that drm was giving a bad buffer = -14. I don't have
the exact text now because I rolled back my kernel module to the old
one. In any case, it didn't work.
So my question is how do I successfully compile the kernel module so it
works (and loads in the correct order, that is agpgart first, then
r128). The relevant file snippets:
host.def - configured according to the DRI compilation guide:
/*#define DefaultGcc2AxpOpt -O2 -mcpu=ev6*/
#define DefaultGcc2i386Opt -O2
#ifdef AlphaArchitecture

Relevant section of XF86Config-4:

And finally, my hardware setup:
AMD Duron 700 Mhz
128 MB RAM
ATI All-in-Wonder 128 16MB AGP (with Rage128 GL chip)
Linux Kernel: 2.2.17-21mdk (the default from Mandrake 7.2)
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I used up2date to upgrade the kernal from 2.2-16 to 2.2-17. Upon reboot
none of the eth and USB devices would come up. RE-installed the 2.2-16
kernal and everything appears to be back to normal. I noticed the Lilo
attempted to boot up 2.2-16 rather than 2.2-17. What went wrong?

edit your php.ini file ;-)
be sure the line "extension_dir = /path/to/your/php/extensions" is
correct and the mysql.so is in that dir
now add somwhere in your php.ini file
the line "extension=mysql.so" an restart apache!
This should fix the problem :-)

Hi,
You need to get the latest distribution of php4 and configure it
--with-mysql to enable the mysql functions IMHO.

I have a Mandrake 7.2 setup.
I want to turn the caps lock key into a second cntl key.
I DON'T want to just swap the caps lock and cntl.
I would like this to work inside and outside of X windows and be global for
all users. So far, google was found lots of receipes for just swapping the
caps lockand cntl.
I'm assuming there's some global file I can just edit and have work forever
more...but which one is it?
Enlightenment much appreciated.

Yes. Check the sendmail configuration (/etc/mail/sendmail.cf, in all
probability).

... sendmail DOES receive mail. That's it's main functionality (it also
sends mail). Fetchmail fetches it, but does not receive it. Fetchmail
fetches it from a pop or imap server and passes it to a local sendmail,
which receives it, and passes it to the appropriate delivery agent.
For more enlightenment, try comp.os.sendmail, or something.
