Quick update and a *bump* to go with it:
What I seem to be dealing with is a failsafe window manager. At the graphical login, I can click the "session" icon down at the bottom and I will have 3 choices: KDE, Failsafe, and Default. My default is obviously Failsafe. Selecting KDE gets me where I want to be.
What I need to know is how to change the default to KDE so I don't have to go in and manually select it each time I login.
Also, I went ahead and changed my video driver as directed
here in hopes that it would cure my resolution issue: The native resolution for my LCD is 1024x768, but I only have 800x600 and below available to me, which looks really dumpy. How do I get KDE running at 1024x768?
Contrary to what Mr. Alford says, though, the sound does NOT work
, and I will be needing help with it, but we will get there later.
All help is, as always, much appreciated.
TIA
