I have a similar setup w/ a Leadtek PX6600GT When I configure X I select generic geforce fx for my card & I change my monitor to match my Viewsonic E75f & it works flawlessly. Hope this helps

I forgot to mention if your a club member you have access to custom rpm for the ATI driver which works out of the box. Just install & reboot.

Have a look at this thread. http://www.linuxcompatible.org/thread31975-1.html

I forgot to mention this is for HD install only. It does not make a Live DVD. Mandrake Move is used for that purpose.

Hello parx86, I am a Mandriva club member & I have a Radeon 9800pro I had the same issue with the pre release. I found that issue to be a glitch in the test portion of setting up the graphics. My system worked fine if I skipped the test portion & proceeded with the rest of the install. Good luck

I have done this with every release of Mandrake since 9.2 There is a script made for redhat that does the trick called mkdvdiso.sh from ftp://people.redhat.com/ckloiber/ You will need the ISO files & this script, also enough hard drive space to create the DVD.iso. Open a terminal & become root. Here is the command I use; sh mkdvdiso.sh /home/dave/isos /home/dave/dvd.iso growisofs -Z /dev/scd0=/home/dave/dvd.iso /home/dave/isos is the folder where I put the cd.iso's & DVD.iso is the final image to be burned at no more than 4x, any faster & you will get errors during the Mandrake install. Hope this helps.

Hi landroni, In windows or linux make sure you select burn image file. Don't open the ISO & burn the contents. Also you should burn the ISO image at no more than 8X for best results. Let us know if this helps.

Hi all, regarding partitions. If you use auto allocate after selecting the 17gig portion of your drive, you will be ok. I currently use 18gig for Mandrake 10.1official 5.8gig /root 1gig swap the rest for /home Dual booting Mandrake & XP pro for games

Hi all, I have a P4 rig see below; P4 3ghz Abit AS8 mombo 2x512 OCZ dual channel Maxtor 80gig SATA Radeon 9800Pro 128mb NEC DVD-RW 1300A on board sound & nic Lian Li PC-5 Aluminum ATX Enermax Noisetaker 370w PSU Canon i550 usb printer Dual boot WinXP + Mandrake 10.1 Mandrake 9.1 did the same for me. Since Mandrake 9.2 the install detects my SATA drive with no problems at all. I think it's like Soll30 said, you need to supply a driver at that point. Check with MSI & Nvidia for a linux driver.

Hey, you mentioned in your first post your gateway is your router. If you connect through a router you should set it to DHCP I think. Did Mandrake detect your NIC during the install?

Hi Koop, in the settings under K3b look for your devices & try changing the CD reader from your DVD-ROM drive to your CD Burner.

I did a little googling on this & it seems to be the on-board graphics. If possible I would add an an AGP graphics card & get away from the on-board video. Your system performance will also improve. I know Mandrake has made changes from XFree to Xorg to handle the video & I have seen lots of info regarding errors with your type of setup.

Hi yourek82, Can you post your system specs for us.

Welcome to Linux. First off, 10.1 is the latest offical release. I use this version & it run great. If you go to the Star on the taskbar, then to system, configuration, packaging & finally mandrakelinux update. Click on this & give the root password.Then choose from the sites listed closest to you. High speed connection recommended. After this just follow the directions. Hope this helps.

I prefer Mandrake 10.1 easy to install detects all my hardware which is fairly resent it is alot faster with the kernel 2.6.8.3

Hi all, I use Mandrake 10.1 myself. Mandrake likes a fair amount of space on the hardrive. 8 gigs can fill up quickly. I set aside 20 gigs for my setup. I have tried with & without a swap file with little diference in speed. As far as defragging, it has been said Linux handles the filesystem way better than Windows ever will. I just hope the 3D gaming comes around sooner!

Do you have windows installed on c: partition (120g partition) My setup is SATA 80gig split in 2 40g on c partition for Xp 40g for mandrake 80g ATA split in 2 40g & 40g for backup data movies+mp3&game saves Windows must be installed first I would also try without the 3rd drive IDE drives work best on channel 1 I have herd of people having problems with hardives on the secong channel

Welcome to Linux First off, you need to post your system spec's What chipset your motherboard uses What type of hardrive(SATA or IDE) It sounds like SATA on unknown chipset (VIA or SIS) The latest Intel (i865 & i875) have no problems MSI NEO2LS i865 mombo P4 2.6c Maxtor 80g SATA ATI 9800Pro 512 x 2 OEM Ram NEC 1300A DVD-RW Lian Li Mid Tower Enermax 380w PS

You need to make sure you un-install all ATI kernels first They are installed by default w/ Mandrake10 Also remove the fglrx Then you good to go. MSI NEO2 mombo 1gig ram Maxtor 80gig SATA hd ATI 9800Pro NEC DVD burner

Hey Guy's I have done this more than I care to mention with XP If you fdisk /mbr then restart XP it will automatically restore the mbr & tell you to restart. Then just go to Admin tools\computer management\disk management & delete the linux partitions

Hey Guy's, I have been using My Maxtor SATA 80gig drive with no problems. Mandrake 10 dected & installed without any trouble. P4 2.6c MSI neo2LS i865 mombo 2x512 OEM ram Maxtor SATA 80gig NEC DVD burner ATI 9800pro

Hey All, Mandrake 9.2 is the only Distro I have tried that detects & installed without trouble on my SATA drive. The latest Fedora, Slackware & Suse distro's would not install.
