[expert] (Slightly OT) Login shell/logo/ framebuffer
Hi: I have a question about configuring the login shells in tty1, ... tty5. As a Mandrake user since version 6.0, I always have seen the penguin drawn in the text mode screen. Now, that even lilo comes with framebuffer support I wander how to add the penguin logo, but the real one, in replacement of the old one. I don't know if the dependencies are sepparate libraries, or are in the kernel itself . Thanks in advance! -- + Claudio J.

[expert] Annoying Problem while X running (mdk 8.2)
Hi all! Yesterday night I installed Linux Mandrake 8.2 from the scratch. Until that point I was using 8.1 painlessly. I have a SiS 620 onboard video card and since mdk 7.1 I didn't experienced problems before (except for some small troubles while configuring, but due to my own ) Well, this time I installed XFree 4.2.2 but below the mouse pointer (lets say 50 pixels below it) almost all the time I see two lines (about 30 or 40 pixels long) sometimes white, sometimes of other colors. In the login screen I discovered that when I write, there appears black point on the mouse-following-lines. Sometimes, when I move the mouse pointer yo the bottom of the screen, and then move it to the center of the screen, the lines dissapear. But after a while, Uou they are there again! I'm clueless. I've tried reconfiguring the card with all possible combinations (using XFDrake), but I didn't try to edit by hand the configuration files, yet. What may be happening??? -- + Claudio J.

I just like mount that partition and pick my data out !!! gpart is an excellent tool, it helped me during dark days :) it comes with Mandrake, so if you can boot in linux use it after reading the manual There is also a very good HOWTO named partition rescue or so, that has very interesting clues. look for it at google However gpart only works if the data in the hard drive was not damaged, only the Master boot record. I've heard more than once that things like M$ scandisk sometimes continues scanning beyond partition limits, and if it happened then there IS a problem. Good Luck! + Claudio J.

[expert] cmpci.o sound module does not work anymore
Hi! I've got Mandrake-8.1 since its release. And a C-Media sound card since almost two years ago onboard and a P3 processor. The module cmpci.o worked fine for me, and even worked when I had Mandrake 6.x and insalled the source that came with the cdrom of the mainboard I can't remember doing nothing silly to my box :), but after one reboot, the sound is not working anymore. It is really strange, but under windows it still works (really strange, isn't it???). That's why I assume the soundcard still lives. I recompiled the kernel enabling and disabling some of the switches present for the cmpci module, but al the sound I get is a crunch each time sndconfig begins to and finishes to play a sound to test if the sound works (after detected the card). Another thing that happens is that when I loud the volume (up to 90 or 100 percent) some noises (like scratches) may be heard while louding. Does anybody know any diagnose I can do to test what is happening?? Perhaps should change something in the code and recompile the module. Thanks in advance. + Claudio J.
