thank you for anyhelp you can provide, i really want to get slackware working..

well,

I can't promise I'll be a lot of help, but:

logged in as root, did you try to run xf86config ? (or is that what you meant by "I ran xfree86" ? )

And with the USB, i know its a wireless hub, but the wireless for that I do not think matters as far as the OS goes. (correction anyone?) Is there a device plugged into it that is not working? the bare.i kernel does have usb support. You just have to configure the device you are connecting.

(On all of this I am taking it that you did a FULL install and are taking it from there.)

let me know... good luck - tw

hmm.... try running xfree86setup... it's better than xf86config and will get you to the X....
after xfree86setup try startx. I guess you'll be in the graphic mode by now. After you get that running I'll try to help you out with the rest....

First I'll like to say thanks to everyone who's helped me so far, second OK I can load into fluxbox now but now i have to huge problems... THAT i need to fix

ONE being my sound, another being my nic

my network card is a SMC2662w -http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?sec=Products&pg=Product-Details&prod=268&site=c

I found this site which seems to have drivers or something for it
http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net/

but I have no idea how I can take the files from that website and turn it into something wonderful, if someone would be so kind as to walk me through it, i would be most great full

second is my sound
I have m-audio revolutions, which can been seen here http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=products.main&ID=0ed0405324041d8025a955aa6ae2db1c
really got no idea here

thank you again

BUMP

anyone have any advice/help??

last attempt for help.. sorry for the constant bumps

I think I might be able to help with audio.

Have you installed the ALSA packages (-driver, -oss, -util, and -lib)? If so, have you run alsaconf as root? I'm not sure if your card is supported by ALSA; let me check. It is so alsaconf should solve that problem. After running alsaconf, run
I'll check on the NIC.

For the NIC you should download the drivers the vendor provides (there is a link to them on the link you provided). Untar it and run setup.sh as root (SearchLQ for how to untar archives). Then just run xvnet as root to configure the module.

thanks I'll give it a try!

hi Gunslinger_ROL . You can also chk this link for driver for ur pc , see if that helps .

Which version of Slackware and kernel did you install? That would help too. Slackware is using Xorg lately, so xf86config shouldn't have worked if you have that latest versions...
