Re: [newbie-it] Re:

[newbie] video resolution
Hello! I just installed Linux 6.5 OS on my PC. I had problems configuring my video card and monitor. The entire desktop is off centered by about 1 inch, and at the default resolution. Do I have to make this adjustment through my monitor to center the desktop ? And also how do I adjust the resolution ? I configured it through Xconfigurator to display many different res. rates but am unable to locate any menu's to adjust it ??? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Greg [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can set up the mount in fstab if you wish, or you can use linuxconf to do the fstab edit. If you want to use the new partition(s) for existing elements of the filesystem, then you have to mount the new partition on a temporary folder, copy any existing data or files to the new partition from the intended filesystem branch, unmount the new partition, delete the original data and folder(s) (not the top level folder which will still be used as the mount point for the new partition), then re-mount the new partition(s) using the permanent mount points you just cleaned out. Now you can use linuxconf to set up the mounts at startup, and all should be well. Note: Be very carefull to duplicate any original file/folder structure onto the new partition if the chosen mount point is an existing branch of the filesystem. HTH, Ernie ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

What do I do to make it compatible with kernel 2.1.132? Is this warning message spelling much greater future problems? Thanks, Ronald Hi, Ronald, Thanks for the reply. In my /boot directory, there's System.map - System.map-2.2.13-7mdk, which I assume was put in there when I upgraded from Mandrake 5.3 to 6.1. Since then, I've recompiled an smp kernel 2.1.132. This was from the normal kernel source downloaded from www.kernel.org, and not a special mdk kernel source. I'm running this smp kernel 2.1.132, but I don't have a /boot/System.map-2.1.132. Is it critical to have one? Thanks, Hidong

When do I do 'depmod -a'?

[newbie] two monitors; experience with wine?; Database programs?
Hi, At win98 it is possible to install two graphiccards and monitors, so if you move your mouse to the edge of the monitor you can switch between them. This is very fine because I can have the main Window on my 19" monitor and the toolpalettes on the 15" one . Is this possible with Linux too? Does anyone have some experience with the windows modulator "wine?". Ore other emulators better? How much does emulating windows affect the speed?

Re: [newbie] two monitors; experience with wine?; Database programs?
If your serious about windows emulation try Vmware. I've played with the demo and it was very very impressive. As for performance issues you'll just have to try it and see.

I logged off the net, went to bed and this morning, screen was in standby mode. Not set for that is software or BIOS, and wound up with both FAT tables corrupted.

Well, anyway, I found some text on what you said about partitioning which went contrary to what I had used originally. Guess the gurus knowledge depends on the guru.

Can't I just boot off of an older kernel on a boot floppy in case of emergency? If I put working versions of older kernel modules in /lib/modules, won't that overwrite the modules that were just created? Thanks, Hidong I.E. I made sure I had a bootdisk+modules for 2.2.13-7 before I rebooted my newly compiled 2.2.13-22. I don't think it would work with 2 lots of the same version e.g. 13-22 + 13-22 (havent tried it though). For me, depmod still spits out unresolved stuff, but I can boot o.k. off my new kernel. I think I hosed out some suff from the src tree when I did a make mrproper or a make clean somewhere, Wish I'd moved the RPM from /tmp Warren.

Re: [newbie] linux-mandrake 2.2.13-7mdk kernel
Thanks, but I got it fixed. I found out that smp is for multiple processor motherboards. Well I don't have one. After fixing that, installing the driver for the card went easy.

Re: [newbie] smp kernel 2.2.13-7mdk and modules
Hi, Gary, Yes, I do have a dual Pentium II machine. smp was working fine when I was running mandrake 5.3 kernel 2.2.9. I think much of my difficulties here are due to my unfamiliarity with recompiling kernels from rpms. I had always compiled kernels from tar.gz. On the mandrake 6.1 installation cd, there are several kernel rpms, like kernel, kernel-source, kernel-headers, etc. Which of these packages are needed for compiling an smp kernel? From the mandrake web site documentation, it seems like kernel-source and kernel-headers are all that you need. But then what about kernel-smp and kernel-smp-fb? I tried recompiling an smp kernel with all of these packages installed, and still no success getting a bootable smp 2.2.13-7mdk kernel. For all of the people at mandrakesoft, is there a tar.gz of 2.2.13-7mdk? Right now, a tar.gz of the 2.2.13-7mdk kernel source is more to be desired than gold by me.

Re: [[newbie] Thanks for RAM help]
To get Caldera, and every other Linux I assume, you add append = "mem=128M" to you lilo.conf witch is probably in your /etc directory, then go to a terminal window and typr /sbin/lilo , and finally reboot. If you already have an append statement, just put a space between the last thin in quotes and you mem=128M.

[newbie] x-server problem
Hi all: I'm arbitrarily out of linux for the moment. My Distro's mc or bash# won't see my DOS partition. Has unformatted "empty space" on the drive at the moment (maybe that's why?) Had to use windoze to download xsis.tgz from suSE site to get my distro up and running. Can't get xf86config (or XF86Setup for that matter) to set up my x-server. I think the commands are: #tar xzvf /dir/filename -C/usr/X11R6 The problem: xsis.tgz is in DOS tried: #tar xzvf /DOS/xsis.tgz -C/usr/X11R6 and won't recognize DOS. Any help would be appreaciated, Chris.

[newbie] [Fwd: [Fwd: Need help - install hangs/crashes on ASUS P3B-F based system]]
Does anybody know what might be going on here? Please copy responses to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Morris [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have seen the installer keep running even when there is register dump text in the 'background.' I still have not completed an install, but I haven't tried the 'patches' either I'll work on doing that, but I wonder how I will do it since my system is spanking new (how to apply the patch?). I have seen alot of postings on the asus newsgroup about ps2 and power settings, but all of that was for windows I think. What thread(s) are you looking at that describe our problem? I was able to install windows98, but I don't want that on my disk. So, you and I seem to reach the same conclusion that it is not faulty hardware. I keep thinking it might have something to do with bios settings and/or linux drivers for mobo. i am using the default settings. I will have to investigate which patches I will need to get, since one extra twist is that I am trying to install Mandrake 6.1, based off of red hat. Thanks again for the reply. I'll keep you posted and hopefully likewise. morris Tim Fors wrote: I finally got RH 6.1 installed last night but even then it wasn't smooth sailing - for some reason a register dump appeared on the screen while the text based installer was installing the packages. It kind of messed up the display but the install kept chugging along and it actually appears to have completed successfully. I can now boot Linux and it seems to work okay but I'm not sure I trust it because of the register dump that occurred during install. Time will tell. I've seen LOTS of postings from people with the same or similar problems as mine so I don't think that these problems are specific to the ASUS P3B-F (at least I hope not). Some people on the ASUS newsgroup said they had problems with RH 6.1 and a PS/2 mouse so I switched to a serial mouse but it didn't help me. I have Windows 98 and NT on this machine as well so I know that the hardware is okay because both of those OS's installed and run okay. Note that there are some patches available from RedHat which are supposed to fix several install problems so you may want to try grabbing them and see how it goes. I had tried them without any success until I saw a posting from someone indicating that you have to use the ones dated Nov. NOT Oct. so I grabbed the Nov. ones and those are the ones I used last night when I finally got it installed. I'm not sure if that really was the answer or just a coincidence - the fact that it worked may have been a pure fluke. Good luck and let me know if you find out more.
