ATI and nVidia binary drivers broken in current
Sat May 27 20:53:09 CEST 2006
AlexExtreme
</p><div align="left">For those of you that use the current branch of Frugalware, nVidia and ATI binary drivers are currently broken due to the upgrade to Xorg 7.1. Specifically, fonts do not display at all on screen. There are 2 solutions to this problem - either downgrade all Xorg packages, or switch to using the open source Xorg drivers for your card in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. (ati and nv). Note that Frugalware 0.5pre1 is not affected unless you have run pacman -Syu since installation.

KDE 3.4.0 packages are on mirrors
Sun Mar 20 23:30:16 CET 2005

</p><div align="left">KDE 3.4.0 packages are ready!
You can read the announcement <a href="http://kde.org/announcements/announce-3.4.php">here</a>.
You can read about the new features <a href="http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.4-features.html">here</a>.
Packaging changes since 3.3.2:
<ul><li>Changing groups: If you want to install only the core kde packages, use 'pacman -S kde-core', if you want additional packages (k3b, krusader, etc) use 'pacman -S kde'.
</li><li>kde-i18n packages are in the 'extra/locale' group.</li></ul>
New packages:<blockquote>kde-i18n-br, kde-i18n-fy, kde-i18n-ga, kde-i18n-lt, kde-i18n-mk, kde-i18n-se</blockquote>
Removed packages:<blockquote>kde-i18n-af, kde-i18n-el, kde-i18n-fa, kde-i18n-gl, kde-i18n-hr, kde-i18n-mn, kde-i18n-ms, kde-i18n-uz, kde-i18n-zh_TW</blockquote>
Known "bugs" / need to fix:
<ul><li>A bug was found in the groupware support of kontact/kmail, which was too late for the KDE 3.4 release. Get <a href="http://download.kde.org/stable/3.4/src/kdepim-fix-imap-resource-type.diff">kdepim-fix-imap-resource-type.diff</a> applied to the sources before you're using the groupware wizard. For more information, see <a href="http://kde.org/info/3.4.php">http://kde.org/info/3.4.php</a>
</li><li>If you start the OpenOffice.org, and choose File -> Open, then the dialog appears shortly. After that the KDE Crashmanager come up with the following message:
The Program Openoffice (kdefilepicker) crash and send signal 11
It's fixed in the OOo2 KDE builds. (See <a href="http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100849">http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100849</a>.) As workaround on KDE side, add the following lines to your ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals:
[Development]
AutoCheckAccelerators=false
</li><li>Upgraders: after the usual 'pacman -Syu', use 'pacman -S kdelibs kdebase' again, otherwise you'll have problems with kde menus!
