Sound Card, USB Mouse, Cable - Problems. M 10.1
X86 / Mandrakelinux 10.1 (Official) / Installation
When I install M 10.1 on a second Hard Disk, the install interface is never graphical as shown in the web pages. Instead, I have a text based screen. Never knew the reason for it. Any ideas? After install, my screen resolution was wrong, which I managed to set right after many 'tab' key strokes as my USB mouse was not recognized. neither was my Cable Connection. I use RoadRunner High Speed connection. Lastly, the sound card on my e-machines t-1840 was also not recognized. Earlier, I had Ubuntu - this worked very well on all the issues. Don't ask me why I switched to M 10.1... Oh, I know KDE! It's one of those decisons in life that you make just because... Since, I boot into WinXP to log onto the net and post this, I would appreciate any help from the folks out there... I'm a Linux novice, with no programming experience. Hence when you ask me to post more information, please let me know where I should be looking... TIA kbhat |
1. Graphics
Most distros with graphical installs have a fallback to text install when the correct graphics driver/mode can't be determined. Perhaps you could find the correct settings from Ubuntu? Login as user, su to root and examine this file (under both distros) to determine the differences: /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 - particularly look for a "Driver" line in a "Device" section 2. Mouse The mouse most likely isn't working because you haven't got X working yet. 3. RoadRunner No such thing in my country, perhaps a local can help you ... try starting a separate thread (and give more detail). |
