if I can't fix this, I'll have to reinstall Linux.
I'm using Mandrake 7.2 right now, updated KDE 2.0 to 2.11, and HAD nearly everything working (got to get a new NIC).
Anyway, before I updated KDE, I was adding a switch to a command I had placed in my rc.local file. When I put it in however, the text editor did a wordwrap. I wasn't sure if it should have done that, so I just somehow took off the wordwrap. I then added the switch, and then rebooted.
I have more then one command in that file, both of which no longer work run on startup, and I have some sort of small error message related to this file I think when I boot up.
The problem is, I highly doubt this little thing would have caused such a problem.. I tried re-enabling word wrap, which didn't work..
Otherwise this file looks fine to me.
I'll try to post what error message I get in a minute or two.. The problem is, it shows when the computer is busy booting up in that bluish GUI, and it's the last thing it does, so it flashes by too quickly..
BTW, just looking through a few log files dmesg, syslog, and a few others in /var/log), I didn't find anything on this subject, but I'll be rebooting to see if I can catch the error message..
However I did find one problem with my Video card (Voodoo 3) in /var/log/xdm-error.log.x, and XFree86.*.log nearer to the bottom saying
"DRI requires Voodoo 3 or later, disabling DRI"
and then 2 lines later
"Direct rendering disabled"
what's with that?

ok, the error message says something like this:
"/etc/rc5.d/S99.local Permission Denied
starting local~execvp Permission Denied"
WHY would it say PERMISSION denied?? I never changed that.. what permissions should it have, and who should own it??

Not sure what permissions the S99's should have. I would check some of the others to see their permissions and owner.
Sorry, no idea on your Voodoo3.

well, lets see if I can explain some of this... DRI is the direct rendering interface for the newer cards and Xfree 4.0x - thus enabling the new generation of 3d/2d cards to do both 3d and 2d without having to have two ways of doing things (see Xfree 3.3.6 and lower)... thus allowing you to play your 3d games within x and not have to fiddle with other sorts of enviorments and stuff like that...
apparently, you may not need, or the drivers you have for your voodoo 3 don't use/need DRI to do the drawing for X -- this means you have DRI compiled into your kernel and you may not need it (not a big deal).
as for the rc.3 stuff -- that's runtime level 3 and S99.local is a command (as you've figured out) that runs at boot time (rather, one of the LAST things that runs at boot time, hence the 99).
If you could post the contents of that file, and the permissions pertaining to that file, we may be able to fix this

DRI is the direct rendering interface for the newer cards and Xfree 4.0x - thus enabling the new generation of 3d/2d cards to do both 3d and 2d without having to have two ways of doing things (see Xfree 3.3.6 and lower)... thus allowing you to play your 3d games within x and not have to fiddle with other sorts of enviorments and stuff like that...
you're saying I didn't need to try to install that RPM (I did)?
are you saying that XF86 4.0+ allows this access automatically?

*umm*
Actually what the XFree86.0.log file is telling you is that it tried to start the DRI for your card and it either did not find the card to which you refer or it did not find the DRI kernel module installed which it also requires, and it has thus disabled the DRI HARDWARE rendering functions and will use the XAA software 3d rendering. This is slower and harder on the CPU.....
post the relevant XFree86.0.log and we'll see what we can find....

*shakes head*
I've seen this one on the XFree86 project Xpert lists in the last two or three months .. this looks like it is X4.0.1 ...
I have two suggestions 1) pull down the binary installs of X4.0.3 (which has a number of strange 3D problems fixed) and 2) double check on dri.sourceforge.org to make sure that you should be enabling the fb submodule. ... I seem to remember that this was what was causing the problem previously.
I know for a fact that 4.0.3 cleans up a number of sizing/shaping speed issues on my S3 card ... I will run a quick look on Xpert to see if I can find the thread I saw this on previously ....

*sighs*
there are several messages there ...but they all indicate that the problem lies with the tdfx_dri.o module not being appropriate...
I'd suggest first going to http://dri.sourceforge.net/
and pulling down the tdfx drivers there and following their readme instructions.
If after that you still have problems then consider moving up the X chain....
This is a Voodoo 3 card and not a voodoo 5 right?

hmm..
ok, I'm kind of lost..
I thought I updated XFree86 already to 4.0.3, but apparently I didn't..
Seeing as I have so many annoying little problems, I'm probably just going to re-install Linux.. however, every time I try to update something, there always seems to be either an error message, or simply it won't install. Why is that? is my installation so much different from the instructions that they don't apply to me anymore? this is incredibly confusing to me.
I'm going to have to find out what I did wrong when updating things like this..

First of all you need MTRR (memory type transfer registers) and DRI support in your kernel enabled...MTRR is found under CPU options just choose Y and DRI is under char devices, just choose Voodoo3 as Y or M for module recompile your kernel and try again.Hope this helps.
Btw, this should be metnioned in docs found on dri.sourceforge.net as requirement for XFree 4 and up...
