Hi!
I got my RH 7.0 boxed set on Friday, and had a whole bunch of problems. Hope
someone can help.
1.) The new version of XFree crashes with my Creative Labs Blaster Exxtreme
(Permedia2 with 4 MB of video memory). It did not happen with the 6.x
version series. First, best resolution I could get from the installer was
640x480 (running Xconfigurator after that only recognized 1 MB of video
memory, although I have four). I sat the resolution and color depht
manually, and got X working as 800x600 (nothing better) with 24 bit color. X
worked for a couple of minutes, and then I had a sudden change of colors...
refreshing the screen did nothing to solve the issue, only restarting the X
server. If I continued working under X after the color change, between
three and five minutes, I got a server crash, and a system lockup.
Ok, I gave it an alternate solution: I reinstalled 6.2 (which works fine)
and upgraded to 7, but with same results. Third chance: I reinstalled 6.2
from scratch and upgraded everything but XFree. It worked... only until I
closed X and tried to restart, when I got a 111 error (I made no changes at
all).
I even tried another time, trying to upgrade packages manually, but as there
is a new version of RPM, I could do nothing... (packages on the disk can
only be installed with the new RPM version and the new RPM version can not
be installed with the RPM version from 6.2).
2.) Under 6.x series, when shutting down the system, my computer turned off
autonatically after the "system halted" message. Under 7, it does not.
3.) For kppp to start, I am only supposed to input the root passwd. Ok. But
a process start under root user, but there is no kppp on screen. To get to
kppp, I have to open a shell window, and log as root. Then, from my user
desktop, I can start kppp with no major trouble...
If any one can help, I would really appreciate it. I tried all weekend to
make this work, but it just doesn't.
-Manuel.
