Interesting, I have a K7s5A and the SiS900 set up out of the box. OK do this open a terminal $ su password:(give your root password) # linuxconf (Use alt-click to move the screen til you can click 'OK') Select networking Select adapters put in the parameters for the network card--the module name is 'sis900' without the quotes. tick the 'enable' button Quit, quit, quit, doit # exit Close the terminal You should now have a network card. To change resolution, use Control Center (Mandrake, not KDE) and select hardware/video. Change the resolution then exit and use ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X to make the resolution change take effect. Civileme QA Team
