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I tried getting my sound card to work, but when I did, it said that the sound card is outdated or something, but it worked when I had Windows 95 on it.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?Quote:

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 :wink:Quote:

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.
