[expert] LCD Flatscreen Setup Problem
Hi, I have a Princeton APP520 15" LCD FlatScreen. I can't get it to stop flickering despite trying many Frequency settings in the XF86Config file. The screen does not flicker when I switch over to Windurz. Is there a trick to these screens?

Re: [Re: [expert] Verizon/GTE DSL and Mandrake]
I'm using the same here and it's been reliable so far for the last couple of years. From what I've seen, AT&T cable has been a bit short of reliable.

[expert] ALSA and MpegTV Problem - Please Help
Hello All, I just switched over from the crappy OpenSound commercial sound driver to the ALSA sounddriver for my Yamaha PCI soundcard.

Re: [Re: [expert] 2.2.17 Kernel - Automount Feature Missing]
Thanks for your help. I got rid of 2.2.17 and compiled 2.2.16 with success. It had the soundcard driver (RealTek) I needed. brent Stephen Bosch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Brent: On 8 Sep 2000, Brent Hawkins wrote: > I just compiled Kernel 2.2.17 and found that xconfig had some features grayed > out (like some network cards). 2.2.17 isn't an official kernel patch (i.e., it's a Mandrake patch -- I should add also that it is a bit buggy... I had problems with panics and crashes until I compiled 2.2.16 from kernel.org). Xconfig will have things greyed out if you disable "experimental" code.

If supermount won't work it's likely that you missed something in your configuration -- is automount part of the kernel, or did you compile it as a module? Is it dependent on any other modules or kernel features? Take a close look... and read the help information for the automount feature. It's easy to miss things when you are configuring a kernel for compilation. I've inadvertently introduced many problems when I wasn't careful about my configuration. What always works for me is a slow and steady approach, taking care to look through each feature group and making sure I know exactly why I am setting something a certain way.

[expert] 2.2.17 Kernel - Automount Feature Missing
I just compiled Kernel 2.2.17 and found that xconfig had some features grayed out (like some network cards). Also, despite selecting "automount", it still won't handle supermount. Am I missing a step somewhere or is this kernel have those problems?
