ATI 3D Rage LT Pro & xfree86 4.01 problem

Since I switched to xfree86 4.01 I am stuck with 16 bit color. Any attempt to set the color depth to anything higher the 16 (24 or 32) via sax2 results in an error that the driver does not support this color depth. It is kind of weird that the new driver is less capable then the old Mach64 one. Thanks, Avi -- Avi Schwartz Get a Life avi(a)CFFtechnologies.com Get Linux

I've seen your other post and think you should sort that problem before coming back to this. >From here I suggest you open up a terminal and start mysql. Then type in 'SHOW DATABASES;' This should list 2 databases: mysql test If this doesn't work I still think that there is a permissions problem. If it does work then it is time to look at section 8 of the manual (location mentioned in a previous post) which is a Tutorial and a simple introduciton to using mysql.

I think I told you about it in one of your first posts. If you re-boot without having made the change then mysqld won't start automatically on a re-boot. I'll admit that if you don't know all the details it seems pretty tricky. But if you read all the documentation you'll find that the process is laid out like this: 1. Install mysql from the pay series on the CD's (might be a different series in 6.4) 2. Run the mysql_install_db script 3. Either start the server using ./bin/safe_mysqld & or change the configuration file using yast1 The way SuSE have done it is actually very flexible and safe. If after you installed mysql it automatically started every time you re-boot (which I think was the setup in Mandrake 6.?) then some people would be running mysql when they didn't need it and would have a higher overhead than necessary. Stick with it. You're very close. Jethro -- ------------------------------------------------------- Linux, Windows, DOS.

Well, I did for the beta.... I can't remember the URL, but you should be able to get it from the IBM website. It used to try and open the URL automatically if Wine wasn't installed... HPBuilder, and Corel Photopaint use wine-lib not wine. But to get them to work properly they need to be seperated from each other. Usually they simply rename the wine-lib library file to something like corel-winelib. or similar. In my experience to get the two above programs working and wine, you need to install HPBuilder first with it's version of winelib. Then install Corel Photopaint, and finally set up the wine for yourself. For some reason installing either wine or Photopaint before HPBuilder means HPBuilder refuses to work and complains about wine versions. With wine before Photopaint, and I get some funny things happening in Photopaint (bad fonts, dodgy dialog boxes, etc.). Hope you get it to work, as it's an excellent package...

Vmware & Win2K

Message-ID: <3A221A33.EA0C1074(a)hursley.ibm.com> Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 08:24:19 +0000 From: Derek Fountain <fountai(a)hursley.ibm.com> Subject: Vmware & Win2K A bit off topic I know... :-) I installed a Win2K Vmware machine onto my SuSE-6.4 setup late last week. The Samba stuff I was worried about worked fine just as several people on this list said it would, but sound is a problem. In particular streaming sound. I was running Vmware-2.0.1 and found the virtual machine would hang when it required sound. I upgraded to 2.0.3 and that fixed that problem, but now the sound is choppy - jiggles and things like that sound crackly and streaming media is too poor to listen too. I tried this on a 128MB laptop with a Maestro sound card and a 64MB VM, and a 256MB dual PIII 500 with a sound blaster 16 and a 96MB VM. Both sound the same - terrible! I tried Windows Media Player 6.4 and 7.0, and both sound the same. I need Windows for multimedia stuff so I went back to NT-4.0 which drives sound perfect on both machines. Has anyone else seen (heard) this or can recommend a fix? (Incidentally, Win2K swaps constantly on a 64MB machine! That alone was reason to dump it from the laptop!)
