Re: [newbie] small screen and no TrackPoint

2001-06-16 Thread James Bond
I have a Thinkpad i1400, so this doesn't apply directly to you but I think you should try it anyway. Go into BIOS and make sure that Screen Expansion is enabled (that's what the option is on my computer anyway). As for the mouse, Mandrake automatically detected my trackpoint so long as I had

Aside from the \ thing, which is absolutely correct, whenever in doubt, just use command line completetion. cd in /mnt/win_c and then type in the first few letters (in this case Arch) and then just push the Tab key. On Fri, 15 Jun 2001, Tyrell wrote: Hello all. I want to know how to

You may be right. My laptop doesn't call it suspend to RAM but from what you said that makes sense. I think I mixed up the two. Sorry for the confusion. I thought that suspend to ram effectively meant sleep to a laptop, whereas suspend to disk meant hibernate. That is how it's referred

Re: [newbie] font antialiasing

2001-05-30 Thread James Bond
I'm no computer expert, but I do know what antialiasing means and I can try to extrapolate its meaning to fonts. Antialiasing is when a computer blurs a line to make it smooth. Whenever a computer makes a line at an angle, it is never smooth. You may notice this if you make a slanted line in

Re: [newbie] More memory, more swap file?

2001-05-30 Thread James Bond
I think that with the amount of RAM you have, you can leave the swap file as is. The general rule of thumb (that I've heard anyway) is that you don't need to make your swap file more than 100mb regardless of how much ram you have. Of course, if you're doing video or graphics editing, then

programs don't have to be loaded. They are just read from a file on the hard drive straight into ram and the boot process is therefore skipped.

[newbie] Sound Card Problems in mandrake 8.0

2001-05-25 Thread James Bond
I finally got a good install of mandrake (yay!!!). However, my problems have only begun. Aside from a bunch of small things I'll hopefully figure out later, my biggest current problem is the lack of sound. I have installed Linux on a Thinkpad i1400 with an ESS Solo-1 Audiodrive card. If I go
