Message-ID: <3A4BE5FF.8F55C9D(a)lightlink.com> Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 20:16:47 -0500 From: "Fred A. Miller" <fmiller(a)lightlink.com> Subject: KDE2 I "fine tuned" my XFree settings for my monitor. All is well, except that I ended up with "more" desktop than just a "window full" of desktop, that is, I have more to the right and bottom of the desktop, so it shifts. I looked through the KDE2 control and can't find a setting that will stop the "panning" of the desktop. Anyone know how to stop this? Thanks! Fred -- Remember the reason for the season.

LILO/BOOT PROBLEM- need help

Message-ID: <000501c07140$1e3af5c0$12c5f5d1@barnes> From: "Jeff Barnes" <hoctopus(a)netzero.net> Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 20:36:14 -0600 Subject: LILO/BOOT PROBLEM- need help I need help with a boot problem concerning lilo I statrtd with a harddisk that would boot windows and a different hard disk that would boot linux. I decided to get a little too brave and tried to make lilo handle both of them. I added dos to the existing lilo.conf with yast. then i executed /sbin/lilo. On rebooting lilo gave some hex error code. In frustration I did fdisk /MBR on the hard disk that contains the linux system and then tried modifying lilo.conf again. now when lilo should hopefully work when I boot on the linux disk I get a screen of repeating 010101010101..... I can bring linux up by booting from the CD's and to make this long story short----how can I fix this short of reinstalling my linux system completely?

Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 11:21:02 -0600 From: Gary <medmanks(a)mindspring.com> Message-ID: <20001228112102.A1553(a)linux.local> Subject: need help I have 2 HD, primary is W2K and slave is SuSE, of course Lilo sits in the MBR on the 1st HD. After putting in a new motherboard, I find that lilo will boot me just fine into SuSE, but my W2K boots, but then goes into a GPF (remember those). I have made a rescue disk for SuSE in Yast1. Question is, if I reinstall HDa, with W2K, will the SuSE rescue disk work, so that I can boot up SuSE on hdb? I would really hate to be out both OSs. What is the best way of approaching this to insure I can boot into SuSE and redo /sbin/lilo so that lilo can be put back into the MBR when I reinstall W2K, because when I reinstall W2K, I will need to get in SuSE to set up Lilo again in the MBR to run it. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Right now, I have hda which is useless and need to do something. I must reinstall as a last resort. -- Best regards, Gary Today's thought: Chaos, panic, pandemonium - my work here is done.

Only one of the big 3D ganes was better (i cannot remember which one) .. that will only change when the game makers tune into the P4' possiblities. Also, the P4 only works with RDRAM, big big bucks. Apparently there will be a model late next year that uses "ordinary" ram. [Andrew Smith] Indeed; the big problem with Intel, especially P4, is the huge price tag. Working on the basis of price per speed, it's impossible to beat the Duron - e.g. £40 for a 600MHz! What spec. machine do you have in short ? I am going to buy a new one soon, am always looking for tips (though I wont be buying a 1 Ghz ..). The problem is not finding out whether linux works on a piece of hardwar, but whether all the hardware works together... [Andrew Smith] I have a 1GHz machine, 256MB RAM, GeForce GTS2, 40.9GB hdd. I have had no problems apart from with the graphics card, although nVidia have released X86Free drivers for all GeForce cards. Admitidly I have been using mostly windows on my new pc and havnt had time to test the drivers, although they should work with no probs. If you want I'll give you a full list of all the components...
