As Jaume suggested in an earlier email, i tried reconfiguring the xserver--after playing around with some of the drivers, i used the vesa driver(though my video card is actua lly ATI Tech-Radeon) with 24dpi and a high monitor resolution as the default(though the manufacturer puts my monitors at 1024x768--i found that using this resolution created a wide black border) i was able to get gnome to work. I read in some website that Radeon is only supported by Xfree86-4.3 and onwards, mine is Xfree86-4.1. Has anybody dealt with this problem?. If that is indeed the case, can i use apt to upgrade it or are there other things that have to be taken care of? The other problem that i'm facing right now is that i can't get my network connection working. I have a charter cable link at home. Can somebody help me with commands that can assist in configuring the network?. > > In Sid, I currently have X & KDE working fine.

I am not sure how to fix it. Thanks, Aswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
