Hi,
I'm using SUSE 5.3 and soon 6.0 ( i Hope :) ) .
1 - I will soon be connected to the Internet using a cybersurf Motorola
"modem".
this involve using a network card PCI ( i don't know brand or model) but
a friend got one and there was a linux directory on the floppy they are
giving with
first Problem they use dynamic IP for this board.
How can I put a Ethernet board with dynamic IP ( is there a HOWTO ??).
It seems that I have to use their DHCP server to get the adress ?!?.
anyone has a clue for this kind of problem ??
2 - I just got a 19" Monitor (Panasonic GL90 ).
It is very good with window$ in 1152 and in 1280x1024 ( it is usable up
to 1600x1200 ).
With X the quality is poor ( it seems I see a slow rescan in 1152 ) .
In 1280 I cannot use it ( I guess it s interlacing, the image is going
up and down seems in synch with vert scan).
I did reconfigure my x server putting exactly the freq boundaries of the
technical docs.
I wonder if the characteristics of my monitor ( freqs are too wide to X
to compute the proper waves)
I' m a newbie and it s a brand new monitor So I really don't want to fry
it !!
I reconfigure using the text tool because others works poorly for me (
locks etc ...)
, maybe I do not use the good server ( I have a G200 matrox ) I upgraded
to XFREE 3.3.3 ( I guess ).
I kind of lost here and all this is frightening me because of the
monitor stuff ( fear of fries :)
Can anyone help ?? If so please gimme a clean roadmap ( like URLs :)
, for a newbie all this stuff is not that easy !!
Moreover when you do this kind of changes I have to restart the machine
!! I m sure I m missing something here. I'm starting in graphics (
initlevel 3 as a default using login App then windowmaker )
I know how to restart the WM but I don t know how to restart X without
rebooting.
any input will be greatly appreciated
best regards
GH Portefait
