[Techtalk] VMWare under Mandrake

[Liz Young]

Hello,

With Mandrake 8.0, /dev/rtc is 10,135 (ls -l /dev/rtc)
In /etc/modules.conf add the line, "alias char-major-10-135 rtc"

I had the same problem with Mandrake/DGA and no full-screen mode 
(onboard Intel815 chipset) but never resolved it , sorry.  I just lived 
without full-screen until I migrated to SuSE and now it works.  I 
_think_ maybe DGA support works with XFree86 v4.10 and up (not distro 
specific).
