Are you using twisted pair, or coax? If the former, you probably don't have a crossover cable. Follow the link below to see how to make one on your own, or get one at a local computer store or mail order. http://www.gcctech.com/ts/doc/crossover.html Also, I have seen "converters" that plug onto on

Yes but your going to learn more than you want about the internal workings of XFree most likely. :) You need to configure kdm to not start any servers (it has someproblems w/ auth when you do this, i think gdm does it a little better) backup and edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers so it has this #:0 loc

Oops, sorry- I guess I assumed you'd want to boot to it. There is another way; you can run 'kdm' from the console. It has the exact same effect, and has to be run as root. Also, GNOME has it's own desktop manager thingy... called 'gdm'. Just in case you're interested. -Matt Stegman <[EMAIL P

I've had this problem before under windows with a new modem. You need to probably go into BIOS to fiddle with the address settings of Com 4. Should be about four choices. Try each one in turn and start Linux after each to see if you are allowed. Another problem might be a conflict with Com 2 d

You should be able to do this in KDE/Mandrake. You have to be root and do Xconfigurator, then let it probe your card for all possible settings. You then need to tab or move your cursor to each and use the space bar to check each one you want to be able to use. (640x480 8bit, 640x480 16bit, 800

I think you're talking about kdm- in which case you might try 'init 5' (as root, I believe). This should start X on tty7, and give you a login prompt with the drop-down box of window managers/desktops. If you like it, you can set up /etc/inittab to make this the default- change id:3:initdefa
