I have had a very successful week with installation of programs, unusual in the extreme with me.
(lonni, have at last got MPLayer up and running with all bells and whistles) I also loaded, with trepidation the Nvidia Accelerated Linux Drivers. I editted /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and went on working rebooted fine, but later I finished and turned the computer off. This morning it had a problem booting kde and said it was either an X11 prob or kde startup. Hell ! I had not as yet done a backup. Luckily, after about an hour I saw that I had editted in the config file a _Line Below_ in the drivers section from 'nv' to 'nvidia'. Corrected this and yep she booted up, BUT, in a very different resolution to the 1024x768 xxHz I was in. I have done something in kde or Xfree which resulted in this, now I cannot remember how to easily alter the screen resolution. Yes its been talked about often enough and I was sure I had a hard copy, but cannot find it. The books I have are useless too. -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
