I have no idea...

Hello people, i have a question or two....

I tried getting my sound card to work, but when I did, it said that the sound card is outdated or something, but it worked when I had Windows 95 on it. Is there a way I could still get it to work on Slackware?

Another question is that my screen size is stuck on 640 x 480, and that's the only option I have. Is there a way to get a different size?

Thanks for any help!

What sound card do you have? Can you post the exact error you were getting?

What video card do you have? Post the "Display" section (toward the bottom) of your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (you'll have one or the other).

Ok, for my display, i have used /etc/X11/xorg.conf and it says.....

and as for my sound card, how do i check that again?

Those display settings look fine. What kind of card is it?

As for your sound card... I know there's a command to list everything that's attached to your computer... I just can't remember it off the top of my head...

Maybe lspci would help

If the screen size is not correct, even though the xorg.conf is, I bet the moniter syncs are wrong

If you have X started you can hit Alt Ctrl + (plus) to flip through the resolutions you have set in your xorg.conf for whatever the DefaultDepth you have set.
