[newbie] A simple, perhaps silly question

1999-08-16 Thread Carlos Rubinstein
Is running any of the config programs without X loaded different from running them from an Xterm window? If there are differences in some (I would suspect Xconfigurator, etc.), can someone list them? If the answer is RTFM, that's fine, but please point me to the appropriate HOWTO, etc.

Brett, Thanks for your reply - is lite-on a brand name? I don't remember seeing it in the xconfigurator. Also, I screwed up my install, made my old, small HD the master rather than the newer, fasterm, larger HD. I don't mind reinstalling everything, but I think I'll tell hinm not to start KDE

Hi, I installed M-RH6.0 last night, and even though I have the monitor above, and an ATI 4MB card, the only display settings that seemed to work are 640x480, in 8-bit. Anyone have similar experiances, or recommendations to fix? Thanks, Carlos
