Summary:
I edited the startup script and and added two lines of code ater commenting out the old one as follows :-

418# echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'
419 echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]*\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'

XGL & 2007.0

Hi all,
I have good news. I tried to run XGL on my machine since I installed Mandriva 2007.0, I have followed a lot of guides but no way.
I got it installing compiz-quinnstorm

urpmi cgwd csm cgwd-themes cgwd-themes-extra compiz-manager

Then, in /etc/sysconfig/compiz set COMPIZ=yes and /etc/system/xgl set XGL=yes

Restart your X server, it should start XGL and Compiz

I did in this way cause I had problem with Cube plugin; remember quinnstorm is a developer version not the stable one.

ADD SOME PHOTO.

Enjoy.

Mandriva 2007 & ATI

Work in progress...

Upgrading Mandriva 2006 to Mandriva 2007

Simple:
1) download the iso image of Mandriva 2007.0 and create a bootable DVD
2) select upgrade during the installation process
3) get a big cup of coffe
4) Enjoy.

The process is not so smooth but at the end works.
Y'll probably get problems with Xorg.

First of all you must update your urpmi.cfg, that's mine:
2007Main ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/official/2007.0/i586/media/main/release {
hdlist: hdlist.2007Main.cz
key-ids: 70771ff3
update
with_hdlist: media_info/hdlist.cz
}

2007Contrib ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/official/2007.0/i586/media/contrib/release {
hdlist: hdlist.2007Contrib.cz
key-ids: 78d019f5
update
with_hdlist: media_info/hdlist.cz
}

2007PlfNonFree ftp://ftp.cica.es/mirrors/Linux/plf/mandrake/2007.0/non-free/release/binary/i586 {
hdlist: hdlist.2007PlfNonFree.cz
key-ids: caba22ae
with_hdlist: ./hdlist.cz
}

2007PlfFree ftp://ftp.cica.es/mirrors/Linux/plf/mandrake/2007.0/free/release/binary/i586 {
hdlist: hdlist.2007PlfFree.cz
key-ids: caba22ae
update
with_hdlist: ./hdlist.cz
}


urpmi.update -a
urpmi --auto-select

The upgrade procedure make some mistake, cause it leaves some old package so, you must clean your system by hand , for example in my case I had to uninstall all gnome 2.10 libraries.

WPA

I bought an access point and I configured it with a WPA-PSK-TKIP.
I know that my wireless card works because in US I used it with an open wireless-netwok.

A) install the wpa manager:

A.1) urpmi wpa_supplicant

B) Open Wireless Configuration:
B.1) select your network
B.2) select WPA
B.3) insert your key

enjoy your freedom
