:newbie: You guys must excuse me i just installed a new distro of Mandrake9.0 and when it boots i get the following message PCI device collision error. The video is distorted...It seems as if some of the vertical lines are missing although, everything boots fine its just the video. Can someone please help....Linux NEWBIE

Could you write which card you're using? After boot, press ctrl+alt+F1. It will bring you to a text console. Type your login name and password (the ones you entered during installation). The console should be OK. You can try to play with it. It's important to have working console, because you can fix the problem with video. But to do this, we should know which video card you have.

I have a compaq presario 2818 and I have the same problems and also with a mandrake 9.0 and also I have no rights to access as user to the cdrom and the disckette...
Is there sombody that can help? Thank you...! |
zei, which security level do you have?
|
I don't know...
|
Did you tell it during the install to setup 3d acceleration?If you did try w/o it.All I got was a black screen when I tried that.
|
The security level can be found in Mandrake Control Center. I can't tell you where exactly, because I don't have a copy to ceck...

Hi, now after the weekend and some help I arrive to see cdrom and
diskette without problem and also the touchpad as ps2... the graphic is ok with vesa, but certains games in the section play of mandrake hung because of the not accelaleration of vesa... So: if you use mandrake if fstab to see the cdrom and the diskette you do not have to use sueprmount (it's only in mandrake) but mount , as normally is used as in red hat... I think there aren't the drivers for the supermount able to change from cdrom to diskette directly as for windows xp... On th contrary if you use simply mount you the cdrom, you umount, you change and you put the diskette at the place of cdrom and you see it without problem... In my fstab: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user,defaults /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,defaults,ro For the error at the beginning of the boot: PCI:Device 00:1f.1 not available because of resource collision there is always at the beginning of my boot... I looked in the configuration center of mandrake at the voice iformations and you see in the section memory that the famous 00:1f.1 correspond to an ide interface... So as ghost said is correpsonding to a part of memory... So I think that is this kind of laptop maybe the cdrom and th diskette have the same interrupt so linux says that at the beginning because it doesn't know that cdrom and diskette are interchangeable and it has no drivers for this.. After this I haven't revealed no problem apart the ati... I'll do some more check, I will tell you...! Let me know you too, thank you... Bye to the next...! |
