Kay, here goes... 1. Installing Mandrake 6.1 on a laptop in a docking station. Installed cleanly, but mouse freaks out (goes to top-right corner, and won't come out, no matter where i put the cheese) when i boot it off of the dock. Any suggestions? 2. Linux Mandrake 6.1 and a KVM switch. Does anyone have this configuration? and if so, how come my X windows starts introducing tons of scan lines when i boot with the kvm installed, but it's clean when it's not. (No. not the KVM. Installed Caldera, Redhat, SuSe, and Turbolinux without problems). And there's my questions. small....insignificant maybe. But nonetheless, I feel better for having asked, and I hope that the those that where the tophat and wave the wand may have an answer...............
