[newbie] (...) redimentioning question
Is there any way to make my screen smaller (or to make things smaller in my screen) without changing the resolution? because my screen doesnt support a higher resolution than this... :\\ A friend of mine told me it was: "ctrl" + "alt" + "+/-" depending if you wanted to enlarge or smallen your screen but It's not working... I'm using mdk7.2 I dont think its necessary to refer my graph card... thx
[newbie] (...) Sound card problem
I have a OPTI 82C924 and I have mdk7.2. the sndconfig of mdk7.2 it's too good for my card so I used the one in mdk7.1 but keeps giving me the same error. when I exit (yes, I listen to the sound) but then I exit and he says this: MAD16 / Mozart: Invalid Midi port 0x0 and YES I LISTEN TO THE AU AND THE MIDI SAMPLES. but then a friend told me to do this: pnpdump pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf ok and the thing worked, I could listen to sounds, and I could boot and then I turned him on again, I still could listen to sounds. But the problem is when I reboot without making the reboot command... Like... "RESET" or "POWER" (sometimes the electricity goes down here in my house, so...) then the in the boot he failes to the 2 devices :\\ and I have to do the sndconfig and those 3 lines all over again and reboot. isn't there any way to record the configuration? for saving me trouble every time I force reboot to make the 4 commands again and re-reboot...? thx
[newbie] (...) FINALLY!!!
I am a happy man! finally I made it to install mandrake 7.2 and running net with him! :)) I just wanted to ask 1 more thing. I keep having problems with startx with every linux I installed. what console tool can I use to configure my startx (other than xf86config) when I for example put a too high resolution and then the monitor doesnt work in startx? what tool can I run to configure it? (XF86Setup doesnt run... command not found... so...) thx for all the help I got and keep up with the good work! [[[]]]

[newbie] (...) 7.2 nightmare setup (partitions)
my problem is this: after I boot with the disk7 to the 7.2 instalatio I get this really cool screen with the options F1 or Enter. After choosing "Enter" he detects the cdrom, initializes it and enters the setup process (another cool screen). he asks the language, the expert/costum thing and then detects the keyboard, the mouse, etc. then asks me to choose what type of partition do I want: if I want to delet windows, if I want to use the free space in the windows partition, or the expert. I choose "use free space" and then I does this: "Computing windows file system bounds"he wait here a while and then a window appears saying some like "it's advisable to run scandisk and scanreg (opt) before entering this stage. press OK when ready"and there are 2 buttons: "OK" and "Cancel". But when I try to click on any of them it doest work! the mouse works but it's not possible to click on any button! even in the "screen change" buttons... crtl+alt+del doesn't work to... I already tried to make a scandisk, a scanreg, the 2 types of scandisk, in DOS, in windows... and it keeps crashing in the same stage... can U help me? I tried to make the partitions in the "expert" mode but if I try to make any other he deletes the windows one... help...? thx

[newbie] (...) Problem with partition (in install)

(yes, I already ran the scandisk in win...) thx

[newbie] (...) XF86Setup / xf86config problem
I know that XF86Setup is case sensitive but the problem I have is with xf86config. this one IN NOT case sensitive and the "command not found" errors he gives me are internal (i think) it's not the same thing has when you write some shit on the console and he says "command not found" but this one gives me a list of 5 or 6 lines saying something like this: Modeselect (...) : command not found (other things) (...): command not found how can I restore the original xf86config to at least running him properly?

[newbie] Paul (...) Sound Card Configutation
You could do a search for the opti number on Google.com. Perhaps there is a site where you can find more info. The chipset used is the same as used on the Mozart 16bit card, and the specs for the Midiport are probably off in this set. 0x0 would mean that the midi port is configured on port 0x0, which is no address. Perhaps the card has no midi support? Paul so if they are off how can I turn them defenetly off? because I configure it all and I listen to the sounds and then I exit, he gives this error and the configuration was again wrong and I cant save the data! help me again? thx
[newbie] Paul (...) Sound Card Configutation
Hmmm.. ?? You mean that while configuring the card with sndconfig, you can hear the midi sample that is played? Very weird... Paul YES! THAT'S IT! I can hear the man talking and then the midi sample (freq up then freq down) but when I exit he says: "Invalid midi port 0x0" dont i need to change the attributes of some file to be write enable or something like that? I dont know what to do! :\\ thx
[newbie] (...) Sound Card Configutation
That card is running in PNP mode. The only thing I can tell you to do is the following to see if it works. Type this at the console: pnpdump Your soundcard should show up on there: Then do this: pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf then, isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf REBOOT and see if it works. Have you disabled PNP is your BIOS? Is there a way you could disable PNP on the soundcard? PNP? I dont know what that is but I think I didnt disabled anything... and I dont know if there is a way to disable it either... so... ur talking to a lame :) But I'll see if your advice does the trick. else I will be back in a minute (again, and again ultim it works) thx :)

In linuxconf you setup your ip and your DNS,etc... also you checked DHCP and you get an error, what's happening is that dhcp-client is not istalled. Try this as root on the console: modprobe dhcp-client (i think that's right) All you need is the module for the dhcp-client to be loaded and you should be in business, I don't use dhcp so I'm not too familiar with the module needed I'm sure someone else will come up with an answer for you.
