Hello people! I have posted it before in a different threat, but it changes.
Konqueror crashes (segmentation Fault) if I access to the windows partition.
It only happens with konqueror, there's no problem with the shell or nautilus. Furthermore, konqueror only crashes acceding to the top of the windows partition, i mean, that if i acces to a subdirectory of the windows partition there's no problem.
Some users has suggested it's because OpenGL, and one solution was to disable javascript in konqueror. I have disabled javascript, but still hangs.
I installed the nvidia driver some days ago, and i think it's the cause... What can I do?

Hello, well I have the nVidia GeForce 2 MX 400 and did not even install the nVidia drivers and run 1280x1024 24 bit color or max setttings. use xorgconfig and if you know the monitors refresh rate like my sony Multiscan15sfII is 50-120 for the Verticle Refresh rate then it will load with no issues and rrun at the resolution you want. Be sure you read all your monitors refresh rates before doing this or it will hose your system, and no xserver can load.
Required information
Monitor information Refresh rates
Video Card information Generic nVidia is useful and then just add how much ram say 65535 or what ever the settings say
Follow the Prompts and when it gets to the Verticle Refresh rate you have a list of 5 things, use the 5th one to enter a differentvalue in this format 50-120 or whatever you display can handle. Then hit enter and follow the prompts. Be sure to read everything as you go or you WILL hose your xserver.
No nVidia Drivers installed and has all I want for my display.
Originally posted by ctux Well, I also want to play TuxRacer xD
Has to find that and see what it's like, maybe will be fun like the Battleship or Smiletris or some of the other tetris clones. My fave game is Mahjong.
But if you don't have nvidia installed, tuxracer will go very slowly.
the Drivers?? I am not a programmer and have to get a Book for Linux soon and the how to's so I can figure out the Compile thing and makefile, how it works, and then what to do and what files I need to use so I can install this, also Creative has a SBLive24 driver on Sourceforge but not being a programmer I can not compile it. Does not understand the functions, Still REALLY new at this. The only thing I can say I know well is how to get Slackware installed and up and running with no issues and a few tweaks and be able to use the display that is comfortable for me. I think this weekend I will do my weekly cleaning job, and go out and see what I can find at the library and hope. Will take a pen and paper for notes. I would love to play this game. Thank you for the link, will save it and come back later and download it and try myhand at compiling it to work.

i think if disable java script didn't fix it then it's not related to opengl/nvidia.
you might want to compile konqueror for your self and see if it runs better
i guess it's a possibility it's kernel/glibc/kernel-headers related -- about filesystem support (just guessing)
once you configure kdebase (make sure you use the right --prefix=) you can move into the konqueror directory and build and install from there only konqueror
might even be able to test that new konqueror from there before you install it
the only other thing i can think of is to recompile Qt with other of it's various GL options
don't let it do the default GL thing with the nvidia drivers though cause that's a worse mess than what you got.

To compile programs that you have the source you have just to do:
Descompress the file you have downloaded
move to the directory that you have unzipped the file. And there with the shell, type:
./configure <-- only if the file configure exists, else you have just wasted 2 seconds typing
./make
./make install
And that's all.
No the nVidia Drivers crash my system. Something is messed up terrible with them. Probably the fact it is a Apollo or Generic nVidia so I use my special settings that I did to make it work like it's supposed to. I am going to do the Upgrade to the 2.6.11.5 kernal maybe. Will read a lot more in the forums here before I do.

well I had reinstalled kde by rpm without options with the same result. What options should I use?
PD: BenneJezzerette, what problems did you exactly got?

Is not into C++ as of yet. Because I have come to Linux, it appears I am going to have to seriously look into it.
On another note:
Well last night I had to format the whole drive again, Was doing some kernel hacking with the new 2.6.11.5 and messed up terribly. I think I need to get the Kernel Hacking book, and also a Linux Book, preferrably the Slackware one. However the nice thing is that doing this I was able to remove the KDE package that came with the Slackware Distro and then install the new KDE 3.4.0 with a fresh profile, not one already made. so it is more stable now. and I did the xorg.conf file and my display is 1280x1024 and 24 bit colot and my mouse (trackman marble optical) has a scroll wheel now. So I am a happy camper again.
