Howdy...

Have a windows 2000 pro and mandrake 8.2 dualboot on my pc..
I became disgusted about the whole windows mentality microsoft pushes to develop and thought of using windows only for games.

Ah...i had to install ALL the Rpm's by hand via a console because the graphical rpm manager always crashed...now i've got Qt3 installed and tried out the program in the docs.....

Qt3 got installed into usr/lib/qt3/...how can my emacs or Kate or some other text editor now that the heaers are there??
i tried something like this:
#include </usr/lib/qt3//include/qapplication.h>

but it just couldn't find headers that the mentioned header requires,when i tried to compile the program.
I store my project files in my home/username directory...
Can you help me solve this problem please??


ow and how can i configure my geforce 2 ultra and sound cards??
have downloaded the the two drivers from nvidia already....but just can't find any program in which to change into geforce 2 ultra.

To compile programs with new qt, you can use
./configure --with-qt=/usr/lib/qt3
(or the correct path for your qt). Then make & make install as usual.

Nvidia drivers detect which card you're using. Just make sure the driver's running (Nvidia logo when starting X).

Mara..
what is that ./configure thing you did and no nvidia doesn't show up..how can i enable it??

i installed it via rpm's and not tars so it automatically installed
into /usr/lib/qt3...have tried to set the PS1 for the bash prompt but only works when i do it in the prompt...i don't know where else i have to look to then these :bashrc , .basrc , .bash_profile ,
profile.....

nvidia doesn't work...qt doesn't work and now PS1 fails me too help someone....

look far any kind of .bashrc or .bash_profile in your home dir.
if you cant find one, make a new .bash_profile in your home dir.
add the following to it:

QTPATH=/usr/lib/qt3

export QTPATH

the PS1 variable variable sets the prompt i.e. tells bash what it´s supposed to look like, so I dont see how the PS1 varibale pertains to your problem.

if you created a new .bash_profile then run:

source /your/home/dir/.bash_profile

to install your nvidia drivers simply go to the directory you unpacked them to and run:

make install

or make

not sure which one.

the add to /etc/modules.conf:

alias char-major-195 NVdriver

edit your XF86Config file and replace ´nv´with ´nvidia´ in the display section. also add ´glx´to the modules section.

i'll try it out thanks...i just wanted to play around in linux( am ver new to it)...so i wondered that if PS1 stuff doesn't get saved,
why would Qt variables work....thats all...
and i do have those .bash files yay

for the PS1 thing try adding this to your .bash file:

PS1="\u @ \w # "

export PS1

you can also add more items to your export line so you dont have to have a seperate export for eac varieable, i.e.:

export PS1 QTPATH

also dont forget to run the source command on the bash file you add these things to, this will make that ash file your default bash file.

after completing these steps, run :

exec /bin/bash --login

to test your new bash file.

Hi...got it figured out...had to change /etc/bashrc
i'm gonna give qt3 and nvidia + sounds a shot ...thank you
all

i've searched through my the XF86Config section,but there isn't a section called display,but subsection display,there is a section called screen where it says
driver:svga among other things....there is no modules section there either....then ichecked the XF86Config-4 file there is a modules section and i added this line:
Load "glx"..assuming that is what you meant.

there still is no real display section,the closest i found was like this :

# **********************************************************************
# Graphics device section
# **********************************************************************

Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic VGA"
Driver "vga"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce2 DDR(Generic)"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
Driver "nv"
# VideoRam 65536
# Clock lines

so i changed nv into nvidia and the Identifier into Geforce2 Ultra .

retarted linux and there was an error,something with nvidia...so i used vim to reedit that file and now i'm here again writing tou you.....a bit strange isn't it???

after some tweaking around....it works..i can play tuxreacer and cromium now thanks

Glad you got it working. sorry im just now replying, but I can only internet at work...

PEACE OUT

btw I made a mistake in my previous post where i showed you how
to set your PS1, i used the wrong type of slash. I edited it...

It's all cool da perp...without your posts,i wouldn't even have gotten this far...thanks PEACE
