Hi all
The background
Just sitting around experimenting with slackware a little on a spare harddrive i had sitting around-I upgraded a cleanly installed 10.2 of slackware to 11.0.

I don't know how to fix a few mi
Sound/Multimedia buggy. Works with Flash mostly- flakey from from my some music CD's- though from what I've read this is being a major problem all around.

Screen and or desktop resoltution-
I've played with this for a while when I change my xorg.conf file to read:whatever stuff stuff stuff device-NV to NVIDIA I can't select any resoltion other than 1024x 726.
Here's odd thing is when I changed it back to NV glx I can set it to a almost anything I want.

Anyone know what the issue might be? Thanks in advance

Did you install the nvidia drivers from nvidia.com? I can't raise my resolution higher then 1024x768 until I do. After I install the drivers I can raise it up to it's native resolution of 1920x1200

"fixed" the some of the my issues.
Re-installed the nvidia drivers using a slightly older than the latest greatest. I also had do do some funky footwork using X -configure to re-setup all the hardware back that up then used a ran xorgsetup to just to get the correct modes copied that into the first file-kind of a indirect way to do things, but not so bad.

ALSA and KDE
I got these to to work tother a little better. I noticed that after I upgraded I had some older libraries and what not.
I tidied things up (a little anyway) by running slackpkg upgrade install new.( then installed quite a few things install some alsa stuff) for some reason letting it install the 2.4 kernel and then updating to 2.6.17 from extra did the trick to get alsa to work better.
I set kde the sound demon(s) (in the controll center) to timeout at around 2 seconds. I'm not entirely clear why doing that seemed to help get kde multimedia to work a little better-ie MP3 and Ogg/Ogm playback

I hope this helps others.
