Mageia 2 Part 3

Got the dual-screen to work... I switched from the FGLRX HD 6200-6400 driver to the HD 6400+ driver (my card's an AMD Radeon HD 6770), which actually didn't do anything. After getting all the updates and restarting, FGLRX no longer worked (for whatever reason), so it switched to ati-radeon... Which allowed for my dual-scren to work. (:D)

My media keys control Rhythmbox like it used to in openSUSE 11.3, so that's also another plus. Though, for some reason, some of the songs get cut off early and it goes to the next one... not sure exactly sure what the problem might be, but it could become a problem... It seems to only be when I use the updater... (>_>)

CPU fan went back up... so something in 3.3.8 is causing it to kick it to 100%. luckily, after shutting my parent's bedroom door, it's inaudible from the pillows on the bed, so it's the least of my worries.

To edit fstab, I had to do it the copy/edit/overwrite way... I was unable to log into root or use gedit via su.

Well, it seems like the connection is being closed for certain songs... so it's erring out for whatever reason... if anything, I'll have to make a copy of my music somewhere and edit the XML preferences to reflect that.

I was forced to install GRUB 1, and I re-installed LM11 to get GRUB 2, but it just messed up Mageia... But! Windows is detected, and that's really all I was after... If I remember, there's a way to chain-load GRUB 1 and 2, I just don't remember the order... and I'm not sure how to do it.

I didn't find the scanner program, even though it's technically installed, and if it's like 12.2 RC1, I'm gonna have to use LM... And with the above problem, I'm probably gonna have to use it live (I'm pretty sure that SANE is usable on the live CD).

VLC was installable (after selecting the non-free repository), and it works just fine. Nothing really more to say there.

Oh! I realized that I haven't installed SCIM. I'll do that now XD

Hmm... having problems with SCIM.. I think I'll end it here for now
