Re: [expert] S3 Savage/IX w/MV video
Trevor Farrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280 with the above video chipset. I had no worries (once I found out how to) getting this working under Mdk 7.1 via the XF86_FBdev server, the machine booted to the 1024x768 display at boot and all worked well. Now, with 7.2, I can't get better than 640x480. The install fails (breaks [...] Help please! I really like the look of 7.2 and would love to have it full screen! Oops, to avoid it start it using 640x480 FB mode, and edit your /etc/lilo.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst if you use grub) and modify the line vga=785 (problably) by vga=791 (for 1024x768x16) or vga=788 (for 800x600x16).

Re: [expert] Xfree 4.0.1, 3D acceleration and the Matrox G400...
Patrick Mayer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, Hi, I've just installed Mandrake 7.2 and was hoping to see Xfree 4.0.1 support the G400 in 3D out of the box... However, my hopes were too high. Has anyone been able to make this card work in accelerated 3D with Mdk 7.2 and Xfree 4.01? If so, I'd be very curious to know how (a small walkthrough would be very appreciated!) We have got problem to have XF 4.0.1 working well with the Matrox card, so we are using only XF 3.3.6, use XFdrake --expert for that. François.

Re: [expert] /usr/bin/gs
Tzafrir Cohen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi Sorry for the silly question: which package contains /usr/bin/gs on Mandrake 7.2 ? ghostscript (but by %post). Looking at the packages from 7.2 and 7.1 I see thaat the ghostscript-5.50 package only includes /usr/bin/gs-common . Yet scripts like pdf2ps fail because they can't find "gs". I added a link from $HOME/bin/gs to /usr/bin/gs-common for the moment. My system had an older version of ghostscript (5.10. I'm not sure whether it was from 7.0 or even older). I upgraded the packages today and got no error message. Yet no /usr/bin/gs . The code that managed the correct update from older version has been removed (?), update it twice to get it correctly (with --force).

Re: [expert] NVIDIA question
jerrys [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: *This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* I installed Mandrake 7.2 using the expert option on my system and I have a question on how instillation is done. The first time I installed 7.2 was with Xfree 4.0.1 and I have a Viper 550 TNT AGP card installed on my system. None of the 3D games that came with 7.2 would work. I tried to install the nvidia drivers for my card using rpm, srpm, and with tar files, but nothing worked. I reinstalled 7.2 using the expert option and when I got to the Xfree option I took a minute to read all the information on the screen. It stated that 3D acceleration was only available with Xfree 3.3 I installed with Xfree 3.3 with 3D acceleration and every thing worked. How do I get 3D acceleration to work with Xfree 4.0.1 Beware this 3D acceleration support is experimental and is based upon previous version of nvidia drivers for RIVA128 and bug fixed by Utah GLX team. this version does not include any AGP acceleration, and really works almost correctly on RIVA128 card, but newer card may have problems with some games.

Re: [expert] Accelerated X Server / Matrox G400 Configuration
"Matthew J Fletcher" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi,.. I need some advice in configuring my X windows setup for full performance as i dont think i am getting the best speed possible at this moment. I have a Matrox G400 with 32mb of memory, at the moment i run the svga server in 1600x1200x24, and when i try to play games or mesa/opengl demos they seem slower then i would expect. Use 16 bits instead, if problem persist try with mdk kernel instead, and check with it. François. Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
