Hey, im relatively new to Linux, and im running MDK10. I've been loving every minite of it, since I started managing Linux boxes, and since I just recently coverted from Windoez about a week ago.
But here in lies my problem... I cannot seem to get my ATi 9600 Pro and my nForce2 SoundStorm to work properly. I've successfully installed a few multi disk games, but I cannot run them due to my GPU not having 3D support I guess. I installed the latest ATi drivers for 4.3. I guess they didn't work, or I did it wrong. Help?
Now for my SoundStorm... I cannot open up Teamspeak2 and hear other sound from other apps. As for that, the mic wasn't working, and I cannot hear anything in Teamspeak2. This is all with the Nvidia drivers installed. Help?
I am a huge gamer, and I need my games to co-exsist with Teamspeak2. So far no luck, I can't even run my games yet, thank you for all the help in advance.
1. Install the source code to the kernel (OS core).
a. Check what version kernel are you using first, as Mandrake 10 comes with a 2.6.x and a 2.4.x kernel. Open up a console and type 'uname -r'. If it can't find the command, type 'su' and enter the root password.
b. I'm not too sure on this step, so correct me if I'm wrong. Open up the Mandrake control centre and launch the package installer (Urpmi, RPMdrake or something). Search for kernel-version, where version your kernel version from 1a. Install that package along with its dependencies. Insert the CDs when prompted. The installer is a little buggy, so it might crash here.
1c - 2.) Follow ATI's instructions to uninstall and reinstall the drivers.
