Mandrake Packages for Xv improvement: msg#00229

linux.ports.xbox.devel

Subject: Mandrake Packages for Xv improvement

not much time here got class too soon. I've slapped together some packages
thats contain the nv fix (or so I think) I need some folk to test it and see
how it turns out. I'll give a quick haphazard install guide here, there are no
garuntess this is going to work and I take no responsibility if your xbox blows
up into smitherines...

first make a backup of your XF86Config file

cp /etc/X11/XF86Config ~/XF86Config.orig

then add my packages as a urpmi source

urpmi.addmedia tjfontaine http://xbox-linux.kicks-ass.net/mandrake-updates/RPMS
with ../base/hdlist.cz

then hopefully all you should need to do is this

urpmi --auto-select

and it will grab all the new version packages, now the way i set up the
mandrake packages are thusly, XFree86-4.2.1-3mdk was original now its
4.2.1-3.0.1mdk to save room for mdk to release a true update for it, and then
allow us to update that. if your auto select doesn't work rpm -qa | grep XFree
and see whats installed and try installing the corresponding new packages, all,
count that, all mdk packages for XFree86 had to be upgraded so all of yours
should be too! Send all problem childs to #xbox-linux on irc.oftc.net gotta run
to class now, let me know how it turns out

tjfontaine

P.S. if they don't work when I have time I will release to the list an
instruction guide to remove my virusus from your computer and put the original
mandrake back in

P.S.S. if by some chance it complains about not having a signature, thats
because I didn't sign them I will when I konw they work, if you don't want to
see that error no more simply append your urpmi command with --no-verify-rpm
