Hi all, i'm trying to set up my laptop
Siemens Lifebook C with VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x (rev 64) with woody and xfree86-4 and kde... and i'm getting the blues! -> with xserver xfree86-mach64 (xfree86-3) and kde-3.1 i had a running environment, but even with xfstt fonts were not as with xfree86-4. And my grafic was not supporting GL stuff... -> with xfree86-xserver (xfree86-4) and kde-3.1 fonts were fine, but when i switch back from my grafics-screen (ALT-CTRL F7) to any ascii-console (ALT-CTRL-F1...6) i only see vertical flickering lines... At least i could switch back to F7. -> then today i upgraded to kde-3.1.1 and qt-3.1.2 to get rid of the message that 162 packages should be upgraded. After that with xfree86-mach64 the kdm crashed 3 times so X was not started at all. -> with xfree86-4 kdm runs at least, but still shows the bug with/from qt-3.1.2 discussed on this list, so i downgraded back to qt-3.1.1. Now also the combination kdm/xfree86-mach64 is running. -> but then i realized, that the menus behind the mouse-buttons are gone :( When i login (xfree86-3-or-4) i see in the upper left corner 3 icons appearing and then the background is drawn again (flat color, no wallpaper) "over that" and on my desktop are no icons and no menus behind the mouse-buttos :( For space reasons i did a "apt-get clean" and now all my kde-3.1 stuff is lost. Where can i find these packages now? How can i tell "ktown" that i want to downgrade back to 3.1? Is anybody using that ATI Rage Mobility successfully with xfree86-4 and can tell me how to configure it better than i have done? With best regards, Bernt Christandl
