hi folks,

I have two questions regarding the most recent release of Mandrake (bamboo) 9.1.

1) I wanted to dual boot with win XP. Xp is on hda1, so I installed MDK to hda6 (lilo was installed to hda6, not hda 1). I made a boot disk and rebooted, all was well when using the boot disk. When I went to boot back into XP, the MBR had been changed. This method of dual booting worked well with MDK 9.0. My question is: Does MDK by default mess with the MBR even though I explicitly put anything on hda1? Using xp recovery consol fixed the problem, but I have never had to use prior to MDK 9.1.

2) I also have a matrox g450 dual head, and connot set the resolution for the second head (both with xiner...what ever extensions and "configure independantly). Can I edit a config file manually to do this? Again, in 9.0, there was no problem.


Other than that, great distro for idiots like me :-)

just look into /etc/X11/XF86Config it's easy enough to change the default resolutions on whatever head, assuming that you've actually got it set up already.
