So I installed Linuxoze

Perhaps... but too much variety I feel, stands in the way of progress.

You do realise you don't have to install everything from source?

[DukePuke]

What? If i need mesa3d libraries, of course i compile and install it. Logic

[hm_murdock]

there is RPM and apt, as well. while not the most technologically elegant things, they're flawless in execution, and very seldom fail. download, and then use a command like

rpm -i nameofpackage.rpm

and it does the rest. I've never used apt, so I've no idea what to say about it... but in my experience, RPM is very reliable. Moreso than compiling everything from scratch!

I have slack and it has problems with rpms, but looks like I just compiled/installed successfuly, but looks like instalation hasnt affected my glx.h file.

Maybe someone know exact path of linuxoze opengl folder, where those headers is stored? Actualy I could use search f-ion, but its very complicated, and almost hangs up my komp then searching all hdd at once

[hm_murdock]

first off, it would help if we knew what "linuxoze" was.

Why do you keep calling it that? It is LINUX not "Linuxoze"

So... why do you call it that?

[WMD]

^ I'd like to know the same thing.

I'm guessing it's a combination of "Linux" and "Windoze."  

[hm_murdock]

sounds like he's panning it. he referred to Outlook as "Outlookoze"

perhaps he thinks that it's proper to append "oze" to software you're not fond of?

Duke,  

StartX, open a terminal, and type

Code: [Select]

.  Tell us what it says there.

And what onboard graphics chipset do you have?  Is it ATI based, Intel i810, Geforce4MX?

Attempted l33t H4x0r sp33k maybe?
I dunno.. It's kindof grating though.

Actualy my graph chipset is written in first line in this disscusion page. (see above). And that command "glxinfo" just dumps Supported opengl strings / extensions, usefull but not what I seeked for

Slack uses ".tgz".
Get your packages here:
http://www.linuxpackages.net/

installpkg blablabla.tgz
You can also do this with Swaret.
For help visit their forum (or just ask it here):

If you want an easier desktop(and have an i686 = pentium II or later), try Dropline.

Installing Dropline:
*Download http://www.dropline.net/gnome/dropline-installer-2.4.3-i686-1dl.tgz
 
*cd to it's download location.

*As root, type:
# installpkg dropline-installer-2.4.3-i686-1dl.tgz
# dropline-installer

The installer will do everything for you.
Your GNOME desk should know look like this:

http://www.dropline.net/gnome/optical/dropline-9.png

All GNOME packages are now optimized for i686.
(makes it faster)
In the menu, click on "update" to keep everything updatet.

Have fun.
