RE: [newbie] Mouse problems!
Subject: [newbie] Mouse problems! Well, I finally got it installed (Linux-Mandrake 6.0). I had some trouble getting the X Server up and running, but I finally made it over that hurdle. I'm using the KDE environment with the Mach64 accel. server, and the first time I went in the mouse worked fine. I had to run the xf86config program again to fix a problem. What problem you fixed?, maybe the fix had some side-effects Why don't you try using Xconfigurator instead?
RE: [newbie] install bug?
Subject: [newbie] install bug? i am installing mandrake 6.5. all goes well until i specify monitor resolution. at testing x configuration, i get the "do you see this message" "yes or no" screen, but i just can't read the question. if i enter yes anyway, when i reboot, my screens overlap, meaning kde, gnome and such. i've tried all possible resolutions and most of the time i get a white line at the top of my screen. i know my res' settings are right. i just don't get the go ahead. my friend installed this same copy on his system and it worked fine. i also used Xconfigurator manually, and that didn't help, with Control- Alt-+ not solving anything. Any suggestions? The first suspect to me is the monitor, are you sure you chose the right model? If your monitor model is not listed you may try to manually enter the parameters. Most manuals give all the information that Xconfigurator needs. If you have the right monitor then most probably its the video card, more details about your machine's hardware will be helpful. regards Ramiro
RE: [newbie] Built in Soundcard....
Help needed desperately! My motherboard has a built in Soundcard based on a CMI8330 chip. In Windoze98 it appears as follows: Dos mode mpu401 emmulator i/o 0310-0311 External midi mpu401 i/o 0300-0301 Joystick device i/o 0200-0207 SB16 audio device i/o 0220-022F IRQ5 DMA1 DMA5 Windows sound system device i/o 0530-0537 i/o 0388-038F IRQ10 DMA3 All functions work fine in Windoze. The only way that I could get it to partly work (running Linux-Mandrake 5.5) is as follows Useing a SB16 driver i/o 0x220 IRQ=5 DMA1=1 DMA2=5 MPU i/o 330 It plays wave files fine, midi works via fm synthesis, the audio from a CDROM doesn't work, mic and line don't know yet. Whats important to me to get working is the CDROM audio input. Oh, and the mixer seems to be working too, just no sound on the CD Channel Any words of wisdom out there? Well, upgrade to Mandrake 6.5, I have exactly the same configuration and everything works fine, even though i have a very crappy PC-Chips mobo.
