I use netscpae 4.51 and 4.6 on a matrox milleium and a voodoo3 2000, which both work with no problems.. which graphics card did you experience this on ??
A Matrox Millenium II :-) !
interesting.. did you try it via X on another machine ??
I don't have another machine. Unless you want the amusement of seeing me do it via modem.
Like I said, with RH5.2 it works, under RH6 it doesn't. Mind you, there are, er, a number of other "issues" under RH6 that need, er, "fixing".
I use redhat 6 on a few machines, I found the blackdown jdk broke, (blackdown fixed THEIR bug) and latex broke... which could be fixed by adding an environment variable... what "issues" are you speaking of, maybe it's something I am not using..
Ah, haven't tried putting jdk back on yet. The main probs I've seen:
Perl doesn't get built against. Known problem apparently in the efnet support groups;
/boot/System.map is a symlink to /boot/System[something red hat]. This symlink needs to be rm'ed else modules won't correspond to the correct version number when you install a new kernel;
/usr/include/asm is a symlink to somewhere in /usr/src/[redhat something]. You got to rm /usr/include/asm and mkdir /usr/include/asm and then take out the .h files from the arch-asm in /usr/src/linux/include and bung them in there else almost nothing compiles;
Leafnode no longer configures (see previous post);
Gimp-1.1.5 no longer makes (says it can't find gimptool/something.h but I checked and it is present);
A large number of reports of stuff wrong with Gnome/E in the RH6 RPMS - this is understandable, Gnome at least has come a long way since the RH6 build;
The glibc2.1 causes grief for bitchx pana1; d/l the pana3 source to compile it;
linuxconf doesn't like me manually making changes to /etc/sendmail.cf - in fact it often fails and stops bootup so I had to remove it from the startup sequence;
RH6 is getting a lot of grief on IRC due to it's inclusion of so many unstable beta releases - X11amp is an alpha build and segfaulted whenever I tried adding anything to the playlist; the newest beta build doesn't.
That's all I can think of for now... :-(
