You need to find the driver for you video card. You first need to find out what the chipset is on the card, then search around the web for it. Metacrawler works good for this. You might want to do a search for the lhd or LINUX HARDWARE DATABASE. Then follow the instructions on how to install it. It may require that you overwrite your XF86_SVGA driver with the one in the tar file and then run the Xconfigurator.
[newbie] Accessing Floppy / CDROM Disks
Ok, I know this may sound really dumb but I cannot find anywhere how to access a floppy or cdrom disk. I have both "Floppy" and "CDROM" listed in the "Mount" directory, but if I try to go into the directory and do an "ls", I get nothing. I know I must be doing something really wrong, but I don't know what it is.
[newbie] Emacs is giving Fatal Error 11
Almost always when I look at something in emacs, when I try to do a C-X C-V to exit, it crashes and I get a fatal error. Can someone please explain the process of exititing emacs with and without saving the document. It frustrating because it locks up the entire shell and I have to kill -9 the whole shell to get it back.
