Ati drivers, no mouse detection in Fedora Core 2

losmescaleros
Another chapter in my ongoing struggle to install Ati video drivers. . . Last night, I was trying to install Ati drivers for my card by following this guide I got to the part where you are supposed to shut down X console despite the fact I wasn't sure if what I had done worked.

Scanner recomendations

Dapper Dan
There are several scanners listed in the compatibility section that are reported to work perfectly with SANE, however many of them also seem to be getting long in the tooth. Does anyone have recommendations for a newer model scanner that works well? I prefer a flatbed, but any will do.

Mandrake 10 Installation Problem

NeoSeeker
I've got an Asrock K7S8E+ mobo and a Maxtor 160GB SATA hard drive, just after I accept the agreement on the installation, I am asked if I have any other devices, I say no and continue, and I am then told that there are no valid devices found to create new filsystems, this could be a hardware problem.

Zoltrix smart Cobra Lite

emperor1986
You know the problem. I have Red Hat 9. 0. Since It is an HSF modem, so Linux does not support it. I live in a third-world country(no broadband), so I don't want to pay for a driver. especially 15 USd for JUST a driver from linuxant.

Newbie-- Dell 600m Intel 2200 + Battery

Ramza500
I've been toying with linux on and off for the past few years. I decided I'd finally learn it for my job and for school. I bought a new laptop and decided I would try to put Mandrake 10. 0 on there. Usually I avoid such things and put it on an older (machine which would also make me stop using linux).

problems with ext2 usb reader/writer

Dapper Dan
When I created a persistent /home directory with the Kanotix live cd on my usb reader/writer stick, it formatted it with ext2 rather than the fat32 it came with. This is great because I much prefer ext2.
