Firstly Agreed :)
I am enjoying this wonderful new learning experience.....ok
well I just like trouble :)
My triumph would be that I finally got everything working after just a few
hours (spread over two days) of work! Even my sound card is working now...I'm
quite frankly afraid to install anything new just because I'm still basking in
the after glow of making all this work when I've never used this stuff before =)
I think someone a few messages back asked about the virtual desktop. This was
my problem as well....I fought it for a while and finally figured out that (at
least for me) it came from having the wrong monitor setting matched with too
high a resolution selection(it seems to assume that since I selected something
that my monitor "can't" handle that I must want a virtual desktop area). Run
Xconfigurator, and make sure you choose the correct monitor (or custom ranges)
and a desktop setting that fits within the chosen max resolutions....running
XF86config (several times) never fixed this I'm not exactly sure why. Also
make sure your video card memory it set correctly....that may or may not have
contributed to my problems...
Best of luck to you
