[Mageia-dev] Proprietary graphic card test needed (release blocker bugs)

Sat May 5 03:58:38 CEST 2012

Since middle of yesterday I've done three HTTP minimal installs from 
+Cauldron, all configured to 1600x1200x24bpp at 85 when adding X and minimalist 
+(not via task-kde4-minimal) KDE using urpmi:
+
+1:
+Early Sempron 2000MHz CPU
+Radeon 7500 AGP Device 0x5157 "RV200 QW" (Dell Optiplex)
+NForce2 chipset
+KDE bling disabled
+x11-driver-video-ati-6.14.4-1.mga2
+No post-install visual fault found running radeon driver
+Sound does not work
+http://www.hbo.com/ requires Flash, but even with Flash installed from 
+Tainted, the page displays nothing but black in Firefox.
+
+2:
+(Non-PAE, IIRC) P4 2.6GHz CPU
+Intel 865G pci 0x2572 video & ICH5 chipset
+KDE bling disabled
+x11-driver-video-intel-2.19.0-1.mga2
+No post-install visual fault found running intel driver
+Sound does not work
+
+3:
+Athlon 2000MHz CPU
+VIA KT880 chipset
+Matrox G400 pci 0x0525 video
+KDE bling disabled
+Sound works
+SMplayer windowed has massive video noise, but works reasonably fullscreen. 
+Video otherwise seems fine running mga driver.
+hbo.com loaded in Konq claims Flash is not installed, yet it is. Loaded in FF 
+10.0.4 before installing flash, then closing FF and installing Flash, then 
+restarting FF with "start with windows and tabs from last time", the message 
+was "Sorry, the Flash Player version you are using is not supported by 
+HBO.com. It appears you are currently using Flash Player 11.2.202 and this 
+site supports version 10 and up. In order to continue, please upgrade your 
+Flash Player." On page reload, the same black page resulted as on the #1 
+system above.
+
+PS question: Why does 'urpmi flash-player-plugin' require curl be installed 
+along with it?
+--

+words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation)
