You can do it from console using Xconfigurator
Or run the enlightenment tool .. the former is preferable. |

Thanks statica, will give it a shot. Also is there anyway for linux to detect my network card, or to install it manually? I have it detected during install a couple times but I don't think so this time around, it's a Linksys 10/100 card. Thanks again

I have not tried yet maybe it was detected and I didn't know it hehe
 ...worried about the videocard for now. Do you know what setings you should use for the 64mb Radeon, I can't seem to get to work properly..always get a blank screen when it probs it. Do you know of a site that tells what settings you should use or maybe has drivers? Thanks again!

Flopster, you need the newest Xfree86 (version 4.0.3) to get Radeon working. Upgrade your version of X server

As an addendum Here are a few URLs that will hopefully get you started.
http://linuxkb.cheek.com/pageclick.php?313 Even though that is dedicated to Xfree86 3.xx modify procedures and put in Xfree 86 v 4.0.3 http://linuxkb.cheek.com/page.php?video is dedicated exclusively for video for Linux. http://www.linhardware.com/LDP/HOWTO...ama-HOWTO.html allows u to use multiple monitors. |

Hey statica,
Found a site that had it, what all do I download? ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/XFree86/ This was the site, do I download everything inside the 4.0.3 directory? Also can I burn all these files onto a cd in windows and then use it in linux if I don't have internet access through it? Also I heard 4.0.3 was just an update at www.xfree86.org, so I do I get 4.0.2 (it's got Radeon support as well) Thanks! |
