setting default screen resolution for Gnome desktop
Hi, Is there a way to set the default screen resolution (to 1280x768. perhaps) for a debian Gnome desktop ? I have 4 machines, but I have only 1 monitor. Currently, I am using a Belkin monitor switching device to switch from one machine to another whenever I need to see or work on a machine. The problem is if there is not a monitor/screen attaching to it when the machine is booting up, the screen resolution will be set to 640x480 by default. So when I switch to this machine, the screen and image look very bad. I wonder whether I can set the default so I would not have this problem.

Can not change Screen Resolution
Hi, I was using 1280x768. But after a reboot, my scrren changed to 640x480. Then, I went to Desktop | preference | Screen Resolution and tried to change the resolution back. But the drop down box did not work. The entry just stayed blue and did not show the rest of selections for the screen resolution. I was not able to change it back. Any idea?

Re: setting in /etc/profile in debian
Liam, I think you have a good point. So how do I change its default if I want the file to be sourced when I login using GDM.

You say that even a reboot does not help and that seems very strange to me because I am sure that you would log in after that point. :-) Are you using a shell other than a POSIX compatible one such as csh?

setting in /etc/profile in debian
I add new entry in /etc/profile.(see below)
#add java variable
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jre1.6.0_01
export JAVA_HOME
#add JAVA_HOME to the PATH
PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
export PATH
I thought these new entries would be effective after I
reopen a new terminal window. But it did not. I have
to manually do source /etc/profile to see the new
changes after I open a new terminal window everytime.
Even a reboot does not help. Does anyone have any idea
?
Many thanks
Yong

how to get a working .config kernel config file
Hi, I am trying to build a custom kernel with openMosix patches for my debian 4.0 system. I copied an existing config file from /boot/config-2.6.18-4-686 to my new kernel source tree folder and renamed it to be .config. Then I ran 'make-kpkg kernel_image' to build the kernel. But when I reboot with the new kernel, I got a boot error. I also ran the make menuconfig, but I did not know what to choose because I do not know what type of hardware my machine has. Can anyone suggest me on how to get a working .config file ? I just want a simple/plain working .config file? Any suggestion ? Any document or outline steps? Please help. Many thanks.

download and install older version of debian
Hi, I am new to Debian. I would greatly appreciate if someone can show me how to get an older version of debian which runs kernel 2.4.X version. I would prefer either download an ISO image or via a netinstall method. Many thanks.
