Hello. I am a real Linux newbie, and
this appears to be the place I'm allowed to ask real newbie questions.
I am running Mandrake 6.0 (with KDE) on a
Dell Optiplex GX1 (with an ATI Technologies 3D PRO TURBO graphics card)
with Windows NT 4.0. I have LILO installed on the 14gig C drive. I
have Windows on the first partition, and Linux on the last 3.
My questions are:
1 How do I change the screen resolution
within Linux? It is too high and everything is hard to read.
2 When I run Gimp, my screen colors
change--they become so dark I can not read the buttons on the title bar of Gimp
itself. When I activate any other window, the colors return to normal
again. What's the problem?
3 I tried to change the default system of
LILO from somewhere inside the linuxconf, but when I activated the changes, it
generated an error. I think I saw somewhere that LILO does not run so well
with Windows NT. Is this true? Even if it is true, is there a way to
change the default system? (I am expecting to get another hard drive in a
few months, but in the meantime, I only have one)
Thank you very much,
Hershel Robinson |
