    Keyboard issue in Linux Mandrake

    It hasn´t been long since I installed Linux for the first time, so maybe I still ignore certain things about this operating system. After trying five different distributions, I stayed with Mandrake: easy to install and latin-american keyboard layout support!. I have set up three different boxes...

    ATTN: Monitor experts!! Reward to whoever can Diagnose and solve problem. Very Desparate.

    OK: You should know there are no perfect monitors. If you are completely certain that no magnetic or electric interference is present nearby your monitor, then you are experiencing a limitation of CRT´s monitors (by the way, CRT = Cathode Ray Tube.) What you are describing is not new to me. ALL...

    HP710C - ABIT KT7A-RAID & WinME... not working!!! **Solved (I hope)**

    OK, it seems that no one has an idea of what to do about this issue... Fortunately, I solved it last night. I simply changed my BIOS setting from "ECP Paralell Port" to "EPP 1.9 Port" I swear I tried that before and it didn´t work, but las night everything was fine after...

    Which Linux..?

    I am a newbie to linux too, and I have tried 5 different distro´s in less than 2 weeks. Definitely, I´d stay with Mandrake 8 or SuSE 7.1 (better wait and get SuSE 7.2 in 2 weeks) Mandrake recongnized ALL MY HARDWARE (including my Radeon 64 DDR VIVO, my "win-printer" HP DeskJet 710C...

    Is there a linux driver for radeon ve?

    Try installing any linux distro that contains XFree86 version 4.0.3 or above. It should recognize a Radeon chip and your correct amount of video memory (it´s a generic driver for all radeon based video cards). Try RedHat 7.1, or SuSE 7.1 - 7.2, or Mandrake 8.0 (the last one has been the easiest...

    HP710C - ABIT KT7A-RAID & WinME... not working!!! **Solved (I hope)**

    It looks like I cannot print with my HP710C in Win ME, the HP drivers will always return a message "Lost communication with printer" every time I try to print! If I execute the "Printer communication test" it´s always ok, but whenever I send a page to print, I get the error...

    Is it a bad motherboard or what?

    To be sincere, I do not know anything about AZZA quality, but it sounds to me that Win95 is your main nightmare... Why are you using it? I am still running my old Cyrix MX PR233 in a SOYO 5EH5 mobo, and many, many problems like yours dissapeared when I made a fresh installation of Win98SE, with...

    OC problems T-Bird 1000 ** Problem Solved ** THANX

    I didn´t touch anything on the chip... maybe I didn´t understand very well this overclocking stuff... I thought it wasn´t necessary to change anything on chip since new mobo´s and their BIOS would do the trick !!

    OC problems T-Bird 1000 ** Problem Solved ** THANX

    I´m being unable to overclock my T-Bird 1GHz. No matter what configuration I choose, the system doesn´t boot. I own a ABIT KT7A-RAID motherboard (it was suppossed to be one of the best OC mobo´s...) My T-Bird is default clocked at 100MHz FSB, 10x multiplier, but any increase in FSB freq makes...
