Re: [newbie] NVIDIA screen brightness
Often brightness problems occur because you havent specified the correct monitor in setup. Try the similar ones until you get a satisfactory result. -- Microsoft is not the answer, its the question. And the answer is no. www.badran.co.uk
Re: [newbie] Problem with Appolo Super AC97/Audio sound card
Basically the kernel drivers (oss) dont work properly and you want the alsa ones. To set this up you need to add the following lines to your /etc/modules file: snd-card-via686a snd-pcm-oss This will cause the modules to be loaded every time the computer boots. To test this, type (as root): modprobe snd-card-via686a modprobe snd-pcm-oss (order of modules is important) Then try to play a cd or a wav or something. You will have to open the mixer as alsa modules default to mute, and adjust volume levels accordingly. -- Microsoft is not the answer, its the question. And the answer is no. www.badran.co.uk

In order to access the internet from Linux, I must go into terminal, su to root, and issue the "dhcpcd" command. How could I possibly bypass this? Thanks! You really should not need dhcpd running, this is the daemon to run a dhcp server, not client (i thought, if im wrong i sound like an idiot). Im not sure how cable modems work, but i think they are treated like normal nics, so in your netconf just activate dhcp for eth0 (might be bootp now) -- Microsoft is not the answer, its the question.
