Two problems, let me break them down: 1. DHCP Client
I finally got my cable internet connection going, did exactly what is indicated in http://home.cfl.rr.com/aawtrey/network.html that is, modified my /etc/dhclient.conf to supersede domain-name "home.myhouse.org cfl.rr.com"; prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name, domain-name-servers; require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers; I finally got it going, but it seems to me very slow, at least much slower than win98 connection. But this shouldn't be! So I think that I must have some more tweaking to do (may be in interfaces, which I didn't touch?), but have no clue what how. Please advise. 2. KDE I had KDE working, but the settings of XFree were: 800x600 (obtained through deconfig) with 30x60 horizontal, 50x70 vertical. My monitor (CTX PL7, 17 inches) real specifications are 30x70 horiz; 50x160 vert; 1280x1024 @60hz ; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 800x600 @110hz The reason for that discrepancy is that debconfig really didn't give me much choice, it tells you to pick the resolutions you want but there is no way of getting them (a bug?). Any way, I edited the settings manually in XF86Config-4, logged out, but when came back I discovered that I was unable to see the the task bar at the bottom of the screen, nor right-left clicking was doing anything, so I had a much nicer with better resolution blue screen but w/o any icons or interaction possibility. This is was not the case before editing XF86Config-4, I was even browsing with mozilla and konqueror through cable, never done before by me! Note: The only changes made in XF86Config-4 were adding "1024x768" in all lines ahere they were supposed to be; aand changing vertical and horizontal frecuencies. Again, notice the XF86 is working, the screen with the wall paper is shown nicely, but there are no icons or operability through mouse. Thanks in advance.
