If you know horizontal frequencies and refresh rates, select advanced configuration when asked for details on your monitor. According to <http://xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status2.html#2>, you need to select the tdfx driver for your graphic card. > 3) The PC has both CDRom and CDWriter > CDRom - slave to Primary IDE > CDWriter - master to Secondary IDE > > One of them could not be detected > > Under /dev/ > only cdrom shown, no cdrom1 indicated. You have to do it yourself. The device names for your cdroms are hdb for your cdrom hdc for your cdwriter Check where /dev/cdrom points to, and create a second symlink for the other device (you can also skip this and use the real device names instead). If the existing symlink points to your cdrom, do this: cd /dev ln -s hdc cdrom1 Next, add a matching line to your /etc/fstab. You can copy the line for your cdrom and change the device name and directory. Make sure the directory where you want to mount your cdwriter exists! However, if you want to use the writer to actually write CDs, you have to activate ide-scsi emulation. Add a line append "hdc=ide-scsi" to your /etc/lilo.conf, run lilo, add a line ide-scsi to /etc/modules, add yourself to the cdrom group, and reboot. The device name will be /dev/scd0, so you have to change /dev/cdrom1 and make it point to /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/hdc. You can also use ide-scsi emulation for both devices: append "hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi" Now the device names will be /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
