I just finished installing slackware, and I have a coulpe questions.


How can I set up my internet? I have a LAN and the router is connected to the internet, what files do i have to edit to conenct to the internet?

I'm using Fluxbox, and how can I change the resolution to 1280x1024? I know my monitor can support it, but do I need to get my ATI drivers first?

And where can I change my mouse sensativity?

And my sound is not working

Thanks

Ok, I got it to connect to the internet, now the only questions that remain.

How do I instal ATI drivers?

How do I make my mouse less sensative?

How do I make my mousewheel work?

Also, I'm using fluxbox, and all programs (like mozilla) do not match the fluxbox theme, its the ugly cream color. How can I change this color?


Thanks

Resolution:

Open your favortime terminal. Type
Enter your root password
Then:
This will open your X server conf.

Scroll down to where you see this:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 1
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 4
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 8
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 15
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24



Now, usually by defauly your defauly depth is 24

So scroll down to the Subsection with the Depth of 24 in it and put a line below and add this:

Modes "1280x1024"

You can add all the modes that you want. Then restart the X server, if you are in GUI, and then that should do it.


ATI drivers how to:

Oh missed one. The mouse wheel. K open back up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (the file we just edited). Look for this:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection

And make it this:
(the lines to add have an ***)

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
***Option "Buttons" "5"
***Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Now I don't know what your protocol is, but for me it is USB and by default with that the protocol is set to auto, so make sure to change that to "IMPS/2" if neccesary. Then just restart X and you are good. :-)

ALSO: As for the mouse sensitivity, you got me!!!
