Hello!
I amin the process of setting my PC up to install Mandrake 8.0 (8.1 won't install). Everytime I have installed I have been able to get X configured to my VIA S3 Savage4 chipset but I have been unable to get any acceleration capabilities. This is not a major problem but I woulfd like to be able to watch some of my .avi movies without major frame loss or freezing. I have heard of and been directed to many sites that have updated S3 savage4 drivers (supposedly) but I am not fully sure as to how to replace my old driver with the new one.
I also have been unable to get Star office to work regardless of whether or not I have any type of Java installed. I would like to put the most recent Java in and get StarOffice running so any help would be appreciated.
More system info for ya:
ECS K7MA mother board
320 Megs RAM
Creative 52x CDROM
Maxtor 40GB 5400rpm HD
Three Partitions
Windows XP Professional on one
As of yet to be decided UNIX Distro on 2
Mandrake 8.0 on 3
If you need any more info I can get it later when I get home. Thank you all in advance.
