mandrake 10.1

v2010 · 03-09-2005, 10:01 AM

hi I having problems in mandrake 10.1. I installed and it runs fine with monitor 18240X800.

My laptop has WUXGA with 1920x1200 resolution, I changed it and mandrake froze.

Is there any way I can change to the new monitor resolution?

I hve nvidia Ge force 5650 128 MB, I think mandrake 10.1 doesn't hve the driver for
that card. Please help me to find the driver and install that in my laptop.

thanks
cheers

You'll need to add the apropriate modeline(s) to /etc/X11/XFConfig

Also note that you may need to specify the amount of available RAM.

You may to specify additional kernel parameters, and/or change the AGP driver you are using as well as the AGP speed.
