i tried using virtual but that dint work out...

Try changing your default color depth to 16 unde the screen section:

DefaultColorDepth 16

instead of:

DefaultColorDepth 24

And if that doesn't work, try changing your configurations for your horizontal and vertical ranges for the monitor. Check the monitor specs for accurate information for it.

i tried that but it did not work and i do not know the model of the monitor beside its daewoo and 15 inch... (i painted the monitor black so i took off the sticker)

can't you use madrake's control centre or something to do that?

Well, I'd say you need to get yourself a new monitor then so you know the specs. ;)

Actually, your going to just have to mess with the settings, try several or many different configurations to find out which one will work. Also try maybe a color depth of 8 as well. Not knowing your hardware specs will do this to ya when trying to configure them. Its always good to know your hardware when it comes to Linux.

hello, just noticed this section from the X config file above: and i thought it might be relevant to me.

I have a laptop with Mandrake 8.2 on it, and of course my laptop has a built in glidepad that appears to the system as a standard ps/2 mouse. I have just got a USB micro$oft wheelmouse, however this mouse is not always plugged in. Since i installed the new mouse the glidepad doesn't work.

Can i firstly get it to detect if the USB mouse is there and use it, or default to the glidepad if the USB mouse is not there

OR

failing that, secondly can i set it up so that they both work all the time

OR

thirdly, and this gets really arsey, can i set it up as either one of the above BUT make it user specified so that one user can have the first setup and one user can have the second?

I know this is all a bit much, and i'd appreciate anything anybody can come up with so, no sweat, don't feel like i am demanding stuff, any answer at all is a bonus and thanks in advance!

sorry for hijacking somebody else's thread but this topic seems to be a month old so i thought i'd just use it since i am quoting from it in the first place! :D
