HI Dear, sorry for my english, I'm trying to describe my problem, but if I've understood, there is no solution for the moment, maybe (confirm this to me please!). Until last week I was working with a Mandrake 8.1 distribution, perfectly (?) working, after all bugs resolved with the updates during last 12 months. My system is: Intel Celeron 1.0GHz, 128MB ram, 40+8MB HD, Samtron 50V flat panel monitor (configured as Samsung SyncMaster 570/580 BTFT) 15'' and VideoCard ATI RADEON 7200 64MB ram. All games and all application were perfectly working with the "old" version of XFree86 (4.1..... I don't remember anymore), Tuxracer, OpenUniverse and other OpenGLized apps were really greatly working. NOW: I had the not so fine idea to install Mandrake 8.2, coming with the new XF 4.2.0, that has also the chance to choose a 3D support for RADEON, BUT it does not work ! I set exactly RADEON, with the 3D accel., but none of these applications works anymore. Starting OpenUniverse from a shell, after trying to load required GL library in /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2, the program stops on a "segmentation fault" error. De-selecting 3D acceleration, the application WORKS, but without accel (obvious) so it is un-usable. Changing settings on 3D accel=on and reducing color depth to 65k colors (instead of 16,8 million colors/24 bit) the applications WORKS but are a little bit bad to look. That's all. Do you think I've a problem or it is really something depending on XF 4.2.0 not yet ready for radeon ati ? In this case, do you think in the future XF will be able to support Radeon like the previous release 4.1. ... ? (the "old version" was working! why Mandrake didn't include it in new mdk8.2?!). Thank you very much for the time you will spend for answer to me ! pier
