You can get the information you need about the monitor from http://www.monitorworld.com/ Drivers for your graphics card will be available in nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glx-src packages for 2.4 kernels, and http://www.minion.de/ for 2.6 series kernels. Though, ultimately, nVidia's drivers are more trouble than they're worth no matter what kernel or OS and I would recommend anything but nVidia for your next card. > 2º - The Logitech mouse (USB): Is that a problem of the kernel, does > it support USB devices like my USB modem DSL, as well? You will need USB support in your kernel (or, better yet, as a module). As far as your USB DSL bridge, consider exchanging it for an ethernet based DSL bridge instead, they're a bit more robust and just plain easier to deal with than USB networking devices. > 3º - How could i install my DSL internet line with that modem(Sagem > USB)? You are likely out of luck unless you can find it on Google as working with Linux. Junk it in favor of an ethernet based DSL bridge. On cable or DSL, USB-based bridges blow goats for bus money then walk home. -- .''`. Paul Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : `. `'` proud Debian admin and user `- Debian.
