Hi! I have just installed Debian Sarge (stable) on my notebook (Acer Aspire 1363 WLMi, with a Sempron Mobile, an Nvidia 5200 go Graphic no shared mem but a real graphic).
It is running :-) When installing, there was no resolution to choose, when configuring X11, which matches the native resolution of my notebook (1280x800), so I have configured a few others (smaller), the highest 1024x768, 24 bit). How may I set the X11 resolution to 1280x800? (1) At first, the sound was functioning, in both KDE and Gnome (BTW, are there more power full GUIs than these two? I love the WPS of OS/2, is there something comparable for Linux). Then I did something in GNOME (something in Sound there was a checkbox Sound Server I can't now look at it, as I write this message from windows on the same Notebook). Where can I look to solve this problem. (2) It would be better, to write my messages under Debian of course, therefore I want to install StarOffice 5.2 which has a Newsreader (no more included in newer versions of OpenOffice/StarOffice) sorry I don't want to use another one, I have to learn a lot of other things and the one of 5.2 works fine for me. Has anyone installed StarOffice 5.2. May there be any problems when doing it? (I'm afraid, it won't have a Debian package) (3) I'm not completely new to Debian, cause on another PC I have installed Knoppix to hard disk, and even have compiled and installed a Sinclair QL emulator in it (QL is the computer Linus used, before he bought the famous 386-PC). I. e. I know the most important commands (ls, cp, ...) and have even a little knowledge of shell scripting. And I have the new book of Martin F. Krafft, "The Debian System".
