Hi,

I have mentioned this before in an old topic, but with the upcoming release of 2008.2 I hope there is a solution for this yet.

If I boot my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A100) with an Intel 945GM graphics chip, the X server randomly won't start. I'm left with a blinking cursor, without any error messages. I guess there will be a log file somewhere, but I don't know where.

This problem exists since 2008.0; 2008.1 didn't solve anything and 2008.2 beta stopped the X server from crashing while it was already running, so it's a start

I noticed that I have a really better chance of getting the X server to start if I select 'Opnieuw koppelen' (Dutch) in the GRUB menu with F3, which is the 3th option, next to 'Standard' and 'Failsafe'

Does anyone have a solution? 

Just in case X won't start again:

While in GRUB, press f3 and select 'failsafe'. This way, Pardus will select the VESA driver. This way you can reconfigure your card properly, or at least get in KDE You also don't need to reïnstall Pardus.

PiSi could have downloaded the new packages, but it might not have installed them, so it did now. You probably saw [cached] after each package name

Since when do an ATI and an NVidia card work together?

You can't play a video with a cd player. In K3B, select 'create audo disc' (or similar), and try to burn it that way

If it gives you an error, you might want to extract the audio from the video file, using kdenlive or something.

You have to insert an (empty) cd/dvd before the player is listed

Well, the original problem was solved by adding


to the xorg.conf file. I haven't noticed any changes with the new driver, but no other problems appeared either.

For me, this has been fixed since the 2008 release

Well, some of them are nice, but where are the full resolution images? (800x600 is rather low)

I always use Firefox, and I guess I always will be

Why don't you read his reason...


I guess xp in virtualbox is the best option, since you need 'silverlight' (microsoft's version of adobe's flash)

I wrote the manual for installing openftd on pardus... that's what i meant with the wiki

I guess this is a reaction on the wikipage? If so, I should add that you have to add the contrib repo

Thx Andreas (a.k.a the bug man)

Hi,

I wondered why the 'gtk2-devel'  package is not available in the repository nor the contrib one. It is a quite important and common package/dependancie, especially when you're compiling programs (that's why I need it). Is there any chance this one will become available?
