Re: [newbie] 400MHz enough video power?

The problem with ifconfig in the command line is that it doesn't show eth1. I only get eth1 when I type ifconfig eth1... This sounds like you didn't install the firmware properly. For 10.1 you need the firmware version 0.54. Once that was installed in the right place, I could go past the point of choosing between manual or automatic and properly set up the device. However with the version 0.54 (wich is the one included in 10.1 Community) i could not get encyption to work, I had to upgrade to 0.55. sebastian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] still Mouse problem (7.0)
My serial mouse still doesn't work although I put this patch on the
boot disk. (Maybe something went wrong; the system still recognizes
the PS2 mouse.) However: I already installed 7.0 ("recommended"), and
I can login in text mode. So once in Linux, there must be an obvious
(and principled) way to tell the system the few things that are in
that patch file. (Please consider this has to work in TEXTMODE.) I've
seen some hints in the expert mailing list on creating symbolic links
manually and tried them, but first this didn't work, and second its
not the recommended procedure anyway. So what to do next?

[newbie] Graphics problems
Dear Sir/ Madam, I have the UK version of Linux-Madrake 6.5 and am trying to install this on my computer. However my graphics card and monitor is not supported so I have to configure it myself. I have a Creative Labs GeForce 256 Annihilator PRO grpahics card and a Belinea SVGA non-interlaced 1024x768 monitor. I will input this data along with the amount of memory the card has, the frequencey sync ranges of the monitor etc into the X configurator. But, when I type the command startx into the 'DOS' part of linux where i log in, it will either say that there is a device but no monitor can be found. After a lot of playing about with teh settings, I can load linux, but it is as if the screen has zoomed in and so three icons can fill up the whole screen and windows can not be seen. I have treid using different resolutions but nothing is happening. Can you tell me what to do to solve this problem. Thanks in advance Sebastian Sutherland
