[newbie] Laptop, Mdk 10.0 and external monitor
Hi, I have Mdk10.0 running on my ASUS M2400N laptop. I would like to connect an external lcd monitor running at 1280x1024. The internal lcd panel is 1024x768. I can switch between internal, external and both monitors using the Fn key on my laptop and via acpi. Is it possible to configure X to use different resolutions on the two monitors ? - and if: How ? It does not have to be at the same time I know it can be done using two XF86Config-4 files, but I would like it to happen automatically (even without the ctrl-altc-+/- switch..

If you are using more then TCP/IP, you can run into a problem of having more then one master browser for the workgroup. If the election of the master browser takes place using a protocal other then TCP/IP, the Samba servers do not take part. So Samba isn't talking to to the machine that the Windows machines are using for a master browser, and do not apear in the neighborhood.

Is there a way to get the ip address of nameservers from the router, like what would happen with dhcp, but still have static addresses for the linux machines? Frank Frank, What I usualy do is have the DHCP server give the Linux boxes a fixed IP address based on the MAC address of the NIC. That way, you can use DHCP on the all the machines on the network, but still have a statis IP for the Linux machines. Most routers I have seen will alow you to set up static IPs as well having a dynamic IP range for other machines. I usualy cheat in getting the MAC address for the machine by using normal DHCP setting for the first boot, and looking at the tables on the router to get the MAC address, and the using cut and past to put it in the static IP table. You can also use ifconfig to get/set the MAC address. The only time you have to change things is if you change the NIC in one of the Linux machines.

Frank Frank; You should check whether or not you can ping all the systems on your network first. ANY DNS server should work fine for the workstations if the router is managing your Internet connection to Bell. Assuming that your router is using an internal pppoe system to connect, it's the only one that needs Bell's DNS servers. Your PC's can use any other DNS servers that you can find. Try a Tier-1 ISP like MCI or Rogers, Shaw, or Videotron. You can get their DNS IP's by doing a "Whois" search on the Internet. If that doesn't get you the info you need, try "www.dnstuff.net". They'll have the info for sure. Have a look at the results I got for Sympatico.ca. http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=sympatico.ca&type=A Use the new DNS addresses for your workstations only - not for the router! Let the router get it's DNS from Sympatico, so that if they ever change again, the router will acquire the new ones automatically. Also, consider using one of the PC's as a DHCP server. This will allow you to assign IP addresses to all 3 PC's by associating their MAC addresses to a specific IP address. That way, whether you're in Windows or Linux, each machine will always receive the exact same IP each time. make sure you turn off the DHCP server which is running on your router, but leave the DHCP client on the router alone!

R: [newbie] Klaptop doesn't recognize my battery
i have done as you said( i have enabled ACPI from Drakconf) but when i go to Klaptop it says like this ( excuse me for my english because i 'm traslating from italian) : Your Computer has an ACPI partial installation, ACPI probabily have been enabled, but some sub-option not.You must enable "AC Adaptor" and "Control Method Battery" and recompile Kernel. Now, i'm newbie, and i can't do it.Can you tell how i can do this? There is a more simple way??

[newbie] 10.0 Official CD's
Hi Di Hi Campers! Just wondering if anyone has any idea when the 10.0 official CDs will appear on the public mirrors, as the MDK home page says: *"April 14th, 2004 - Mandrakelinux 10.0 Official is available!-...* The public FTP tree of Mandrakelinux 10.0 Official has also started to appear on mirrors, and public ISO images will be released on early May." It's the 12th of may and still no sign... Before anyone says, I was intending to try MDK out and get it working before I think about becoming a club member. Thanks for your help.

I'm sure there's some way of automating the sig according to the "To:" field, but I've never heard of anyone doing it. As a point of netiquette, I think it's usually a bad idea to comment on people's sigs in a list (especially if it's a hostile comment, which will then result in a twenty-message thread).

But more questions. We have a router with dsl modem here. I use dhcp for windows clients. I gave each linux machine a static ip so I can do remote admin. Is there a way to get the ip address of nameservers from the router, like what would happen with dhcp, but still have static addresses for the linux machines? Does no-one have a solution to this nameserver problem? My Linux machines went down again today - apparently my ISP (sympatico/bell) changed name servers and the ip addresses that worked yesterday don't work today!

True enough, but keep in mind that Longhorn will be using all these resources *sitting doing nothing*. Hell, WinXP uses over 120 MB of RAM just at idle, if you want to do anything as simple as edit a Word doc, you need at least 256MB of RAM (?!) so yer not left twiddling yer thumbs. The difference between Linux and Windows for the hardware requirements, IMO, depends more on the users needs than the underlying OS. If you are only going to use your Linux box for basic office functions, an old P2 with 256MB will do it, NP. Hell, if you are only doin' server stuff, no GUI, an old Pentium will do, depending on the load you expect. OTOH, Longhorn, from what we are hearing, won't even *run* without those ruthless specs, let alone do anything useful. -- JoeHill RLU #282046 / www.orderinchaos.org Kernel 2.4.22-21.tmb.1mdk Mandrake Linux release 9.2 (FiveStar) for i586 +++ 08:39:30 up 5 days, 19:06, 4 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 +++ "If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged." -- Noam Chomsky Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
