Re: nvidia geforce2 mx 200 video card not working

I have the mx400 and use the nv driver just like I did with my RivaTNT. Then upgraded to the Nvidia drivers. So either should work. Check in your /etc/XF86Config-4 and see what driver it is using, should be 'nv'. Ja 5 wrote: my friend (who knows a lot more about installing linux than i) and i

Re: X just locks up

Ya, my system has been locking up a lot also. Using kdm and have been doing a lot of file transfers and having it lock up. But it will also happen if I just leave the room and don't do anything. Using testing and just dist-upgrade hoping to solve the problem, but that didn't help. Getting real a

bootcdwrite is great

I haven't seen very much stuff about this on the net, but the debian package 'bootcd' works really really well. I created a 650M partition on my HD with X Windows (using Blackbox) and some tools like xfm, nano,... and was able to put it on a CD and actually boot to it and use it. I have been

mounting root at boot on tmpfs

Does anyone have any clue how to do this? Or was it lost and the only way with the initrd-dyn patch that was broke during the next kernel release after initrd-dyn patch was released. I got tmpfs working fine on my system and even mounted the entire single CD size partition on it. But not as a ro

HP 722C Printer working?

Has anyone gotten the HP 722C Printer working with Debian. I switched over to Debian from Mandrake and that so far is the only thing that I have failed to get working yet. It takes the pnm2ppa driver, but not sure how to make cups use it. Any ideas? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED

mkinitrd?

I have used other distro's before and they always have 'mkinitrd'. I have created a partition that I want to use as a rescue cd, but having trouble trying to find out how to create a initrd.img in Debian. I have search google till I just became confused with the issue. I find all kinds of ref
