Re: [[newbie] Video Probs! Help]
are you trying to tell me that because I have that TV out part on my ATI graphics card, that I can't even use the GUI? I don't care if I get one color in the gUI, I just want to be able to use it. Is there any support for my ATI card so that I can use the gui? let me know? neil - Original Message - From: Axalon Bloodstone [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 27, 1999 4:52 AM Subject: Re: [[newbie] Video Probs!

Of course you'll only get 16 color (NS looks really bizarre), but it'll allow you to utilize the GUI while you search for a more long term solution.

Re: [newbie] Video problems
I can't send the output to you. My modem nor anything else is configured. Once I get into the GUI then maybe I could start using some of this output. Basically what it tries to do is set a whole bunch of screen resolutions, and each one comes up with could not find screen. It tries all of them, and then it crashes, with that error message. neil - Original Message - From: Axalon Bloodstone [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 27, 1999 6:15 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Video problems On Fri, 27 Aug 1999, JK wrote: I am running a number nine I128 with four megs of ram. my monitors hsync is 30-95 and vsync is 47-150 res is 1600x1200 max When I was running RH 6.0 it could handle 1280x1024 at 24 bpp now I am trying to set my monitor to the same res and depth, but it will only hit max of 1280x1024 at 8 bpp Any help on what I can do to fix that little problem?

[newbie] GUI problem
I cannot get into the GUI that comes with Linux Mandrake 6.0 Everytime I do, it says fatal server error, NO SCreens Found. I think the video card drivers are not set correct. I have a 32 meg AGP RAGE Fury ATI with TV Out. Does anybody know the ATI drivers I should have picked during the install? Better yet can I change the driver setup in the Command prompt style setting so I can get into the GUI, by picking some generic drivers that work with all video cards? Any help would be appreciated. thanks neil

Re: [newbie] Lilo
I fixed the lilo problem. It now defaults to dos. thanks neil - Original Message - From: Axalon Bloodstone [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 1999 6:29 AM Subject: RE: [newbie] Lilo On Tue, 24 Aug 1999, RICHARD FRIEDMAN wrote: As far as I (also a newbie) understand it, you could do what you ask and LILO would default to DOS but, what's the point? If LILO isn't in the MBR, then, unless you have another boot manager in MBR, DOS (or Windows) will automatically boot anyway. And if you DO have another boot manager in MBR, you don't need to change LILO to default to DOS. Just change the boot manager you are using to default to DOS. If I am wrong, I hope someone will correct me. :-) Tada, guess who's beeen paying attention. ;) Nice job Rick Rick Friedman Salant Corp. - MIS 800-472-8013 x75105 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- The closest thing to heaven on earth is...
