wow, thanks so much. that worked wonderfully mcgrath

mind you, i did this in redhat 7.3 you need to install the kernel before the glx. also, after you get everything installed, edit the X86config-4 file and remove the lines in the module section: "load glcore" and "load dri" or similar. and make sure you have "load glx" I tried to probe my...

this is a tad ridiculous, but i get aggravated easily. Im running win2k pro, with geforce 4 ti4200 in 32bit 1600X1200. the system tray icons are only appearing in 256 colours. anyone know why this is? or how to fix it?

Hey guys, I am looking for a specific case made by Foxconn, and distributed by dell. Can't seem to find it anywhere. here is a link to show you all what I am looking for: http://www.fr.ciao.com/produits/94042.html This case is the one I use at work, and think it is quite nice. It's very...

just curious how many of you prefer which OS. Ive used all of them seems that I prefer Win2k over all. linux is just too much of a hassle to play a CD, or install packages. (cant ever find them after i install rpm's, put them in directories that are baffling) WinXP doesnt let you personalize...

Need help removing some junk on linux KDE 3.0, REDHAT 7.3. I have so much stuff I never use, and want to get rid of it so its not so much of a clutter in my folders as well as my menu bar. I now have two versions of netscape (7.0, and the REd hat version, which sucks) I also have Konqueror...

YEAH, got it to work late last night. for some reason, when ever i edited xf86config, and then ran setup, the drivers would go back to original values. wierd.... anyhow, seems to be working now thanks mcgrath

so, have been venturing out in linux for a while now, and have never been able adjust my resolution. Finally I want to do something about it. I notice that the Video card driver was just the standard Red Hat 7.3 GeForce 4 (generic) driver. So, I downloaded the RPM's from Nvidia, and got them...

yeah, perhaps that is correct "no screens found." I'm a little confused.. I am under the impression that you need to type "startx" at command prompt after a succesful install. If that is the case, then I have done that correctly and I get the "no screens found" error, if you need to actually...

oh, almost forgot.... what recomendation can you make for a good program to burn ISO fiels?

hey guys, tried installing linux for the third time now, and every time, i am getting an error when attempting to go into X windows. not sure of the exact error im getting, but its something along the lines of: flashing about 20 times of the login prompt and then no images found. Not sure...
