Couple of theings you can do. 1) If you are using auora turn it off or even better uninstall it. 2) Upgrake XFree- 4.10-21mdk is available from any of the cooker mirrors It will install and run without difficulty on 8.1 and it offers better support for the 810e Charles Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Help, XP uptime is greater than my linux
gtk themes seem to cause lockups for me. I noticed that if i use a very simple gtk theme, i have no problem. But if i use one with pixmaps and lots of cool stuff, it runs slow and freezes a lot mark On Thursday 29 November 2001 17:57, you wrote: On Wed, 28 Nov 2001 23:16:09 -0500 Jon Doe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Help!

I don't run any screensavers. I don't run Auora either. I'm going to try the XFree upgrade that Mr. Edwards recomended and see how that works. I was planing on buying a graphics card if I couldn't get it figured out, but would prefer not to get one if I don't have too. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
