[newbie] X-Server Probs...
I tried installing 6.0 today and I had some problems with my x-server setup. Basicly I couldn't find my monitor and being the stupid person as I am, i just put on a monitor that was the same brand and size as mine. Now my x-server goes all freaky. It worked fine in 5.3 when I was using a custom 1024x768 monitor. But what I was wondering is if there is a way I can change my settings before the xserver auto starts. ---- Bob Bonifield Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://lan.quakecity.net/
[newbie] LM 6.0 Install Issues...
Hey everybody. I have been using 5.3 for awhile now and have had no serious problems. Now that the time to upgrade versions has come around, I decided I might as well jump on the bandwagon. But first I have a few questions so I don't fubar later on in the process of this install. Mainly what I am wondering is if there is a way I can simply upgrade to the new version without having to do a brand spanking new install. If there is a way, how? I have checked around in the DOCs on the CD but have had no luck on finding info on how to do this. Secondly, if you can't upgrade, how would I go about formating my HD with linux while still leaving my LILO configuration intact. Thx for the help everybody, I really appreciate the helpful and gracious responses people always seem to share when others ask questions on this list. Thx again, Bye.

[newbie] Mandrake CD Cover?
I was wondering if anyone has or know where to get a Linux Mandrake 5.3 cd cover. I downloaded the free ISO image of the CD, 550 meg or so, and burnt off a cd. But I was wondering if anyone can give me a picture of the cd cover so I can print it off and stick it in my cd case...If anybody does, cool...if else, I'll probably just take the LM logo and print that off :( Thx - Signed, Bob 'Reveral' Bonifield [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fraggin' in the Heartland http://lan.quakecity.net/

I got Q2 and Q1 working on my linux Box.

Re: [newbie] Autostart KDE
Ok, what I plan to use linux for is basicly a dedicated sound system. I am going to have it always play MP3 format music files in my car. Of couse while the system is in my car, it will have no monitor or keyboard, so I would not be able to type in a user name or password. Running without a password wouldn't be a problem mostly because the system would do nothing other then run that mp3 player...I just needed to know a way to bypass having to login in linux and make it so mandrake will automaticly start up KDE on launch. - Signed, Bob 'Reveral' Bonifield [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fraggin' in the Heartland http://lan.quakecity.net/

Re: [newbie] KDE
Yes, I have had this problem is settings as well. Your problem is in that your desktop display is only set to 640x480...KDE needs atleast 1024x768 to be able to view the full screen properly. Don't worry, it's not gonna be too small of text :). Now, I'm sorry to say...I don't know exactly how to change your video display. I have only been using linux for about 2-3 weeks and I did that the first day I got itsorry, but I'm sure one of these other linux techies can help ya out. Later and good luck.

So as I understand it, you have your net card connected to your cable modem correct? I honestly don't know too much about cable modems so I don't know where to start troubleshooting that, but if you are having problems getting actual eth0 initializing, the problem is probably not so much the cable modem, but the configuration of the netcard itself. You might want to make sure that you have have the driver installed properly and that everything is going ok. Also, check netcfg and make sure you have the "driver.o" file set as the file eth0 is using...even though you have insmod going. Tell me how she goes.

Re: [newbie] GLib and GTK update...
Hey, I figured it out. The problem is in the fact that KDE defaultly installs the GLib and GTK in the "/usr" prefix directory. When in fact the default location that ./configure sets it at is "/usr/local". So, all you have to do, is when you are trying to configure either/both GLib and GTK you have to use this command line when you run ./configure: ./configure --prefix=/usr Then the configuration should be correct. Then continue with the "make" and "make install" commands and it *should* (hehe) work. I just figured this out and it works great for me, so tell me your results. Later man, and enjoy.

[newbie] GLib and GTK update...
Hey everybody. I am currently trying to update my Glib to 1.2.0 and my GTK to 1.2.0 as well. I am trying to do so, so that I may update x11amp to the latest version. First I tried updating Glib to 1.2.0. It compiled fine but I don't know how to initialize it or to see if it works properly. However, what I did do is try to then compile GTK which requires Glib, and it errors saying I need the latest version of Glib. If anyone could help me sort out these issues I would be extremely gratefull. I would mess around with it more, but I am pretty sure these two packages are rather important and I don't want to mess up my system by installing them incorrectly.

OK, I ran sndconfig and it didn't recognize my ISA SB16 card. I manually set it up (to the best of my degree) on IRQ 8. Ok, I know that has to be the right IRQ because when I try to test a sound in KDE, it plays it, but it plays it in bursts. It is kind of hard to explain. It will play for like .1 second, .1 second, .1 second until the whole wav is finished. I am not sure why this happens or how to fix it. Any and all help would be appreciated.

I have decided that most likely LANstar is a hoe-dunk poe-dunk company and doesn't support linux. So I put in my other NIC, a 3com 3c900 "Boomarang". Now I found the source drivers for it and compiled and installed the module. But I don't know where to go from here, I dont' know how to see if the module itself is working.
