Hmm... Doesn't the hard drive's MBR have the disk size on it? (I know that's the case with floppy disks - I made Windows think a 1.44mb floppy was 33.6 mb once.

Re: No video memory after X reports INVALID MEM ALLOCATION

I had this same problem last weekend. I fixed it by removing xorg and googling around for a .deb of xorg-6.8. As a side note, I had an Intel 810 video card, but this may work for you too. On 3/20/06, Mike Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I had this same problem last weekend. I fixed

Someone get rid of this stupid thing.

I keep getting emails from [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking me to confirm the emails I send to them to make sure I'm not a spammer. I see a few things wrong with this: 1. Look who's talking... *cough* spammer. 2. It's really annoying and IMO they should be banned from the mailing list. 3. I don't shop at

Missing xfce4 themes

I have the xfwm4-themes package installed but I only have 17 themes in the list (all of which suck :S). There are, however, plenty more themes installed. (see below) I'm running Debian etch. $ ls /usr/share/themes |wc -l 104

Can't start X

I installed Debian and can't get X to start. It crashes with "***INVALID MEM ALLOCATION***" errors (can't paste exact errors, I'm in Windows now). Googling a bit shows that it's a pretty common problem, but nobody seems to have a solution. Anyone know why this is and how to fix it? Thanks.

DHCP

I've set up the dhcpd debian package (0.5.13-4) with only Win95 machines using it at present. For some reason this is causing a problem with the local DNS mapping. One day everything works like it should, the next day the DHCP clients won't see local machines except by IP address. There is no con
