Monitor conifguration problems

redrobbo2004
I am going through the pain of my first Linux install. I am trying to install Mandrake 10. 1 on my old Dell Optiplex, in conjunction with 2 even older monitors. The install has worked so far in that I can boot to a text prompt.

Dell SB Live! HELP ME!

Blackhawk3D
I am running Fedora Core 2, 2. 6. 8, and can't get this dang thing to work. I have search forums and googled and found numerous replies, basically you need alsa vs. 1. 0. 6. synaptic and yum don't have everything for it.

LITE-ON compatibility

grober
Good Linux to all. I have a burner device: LITE-ON DVDRW LDW-411S and with my Slack 10. 0 but also with the other distros I can't burn. At the boot and with 'dmesg' I can see the device but not mount.

WINE and Mandrake 10.0

zenarcher
I have installed WINE found in my Mandrake 10. 0 distribution. Mandrake also required a library to be installed at the same time and I installed XWine GUI. That's about as far as I understand how to proceed.

Linux first-timer. I just installed Fedora Core 2 to a new second HDD; the first is run by WinXP. Now when I start the computer it doesn't boot anything. Instead, it gives the follwing message: GRUB Hard Disk Error.

Hi, I've been trying to transfer my system from my 4 old faithful hardware raid-5 disks to two shiny new serial ATA drives (WD + Maxtor), following my recent upgrade to an Abit NF7-S v2. 0 MoBo. I successfully re-installed Mandrake 9.
