Re: [SLUG] Newbie here.. a few basic dumb questions.
2) I have a Compaq Qvision 172 monitor and a SiS2326 video chipset. However, the screen still looks somewhat bulky and not as hi-res as I would have expected. Is there any way to find out exactly what I can do? Never seen the SiS2326, but the SiS6326 was not easy to run under early versions of X I had to get a special driver from SuSE to run the one I had. Later versions of X such as those included with Red Hat 8.0 and later could handle it in the SVGA drivers. 3) I tried just a basic Hello world C prog to test out gcc and g++ however, when I try to run the a.out, it won't recognise it as an executable. Do I need to link this file in some way? I've tried using chmod to force it to be executable but to no avail. presumably your command line is something like: # gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE hello.c -o hello # ./hello or some such. Note the . and / before the executable. It tells Linux that the binary is in the current working directory.

Re: [SLUG] Newbie here.. a few basic dumb questions.
G'day... Re: 3. Is your current directory set in your path? If not you'll need to supply a path to the executable Ie. Instead of executing `a.out` you will need to execute `./a.out` or `/path/to/a.out` gcc will produce files with the execute bit set. Warmest regards Mike --- Michael S. E.

For 2) exit the GUI and try running Xconfigurator (notice uppercase X) muck around till you get what you want. In later versions it becomes XFconfig or something like that. Ben -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
