RE: [newbie] means of administrating mandrake

[Stephen Furlong]

Is it an actual server or just a desktop machine? Either way, some indication as to what motherboard it contains should point us/you in the right direction for graphics card. Open the side panel off (if feasible) and look for any model numbers on the board.   Best of luck!   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Isak Lyberth Sent: 04 April 2005 22:24 To: newbie@linux-mandrake.com Subject: Re: [newbie] means of administrating mandrake   I have not found out what card it is, maybe someone else here knows which it is? it is anoying as the installation was the graphical one, and it looked fine. regards H.J.Bathoorn wrote: On Monday 04 April 2005 22:48, Isak Lyberth wrote:   I have a computer where the graphics card is not supported by Xorg.This anoys me to a great extend as i now have to use some other way ofadministrating the server. What means do i have?(the server is a Fujitsu-Siemens Econel 50 Primergy server, with somenew onboard graphics chipset. It has a PCI Express card which i do notintend to use. I might go looking for a PCI graphics card, but untill ifind one i need to fix things through some other tool, what to use? Regards Isak     Use framebuffer i.e. "fbdev" as a driver...that should work for "almost" all cards....what is the card, anyway? If all fails (how did you install?) try using another box and connect with that using ssh (mandrake has X forwarding enabled by default) and start your gui app remotely.      ____________________________________________________Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
