Hello all,
Seems like a silly question, but I can't quite figure out how to do it. I
would like to have my terminals display at something like 1024x768 at boot
time. I have tried both vga=ask and vga=0x305 in /etc/lilo.conf, and
neither gives me what I want - ask supplies a max res of 640x480, a
Well, the subject really says it all, doesn't it? I've RTFM, and all I can
find is how to set the display line wrap, but not the send line wrap. I
suppose it should be done through the editor? (I use emacs.) Sorry for
such a silly question, but I've mostly been using Balsa up till now, and

I'm still trying to chase down some freezes on my box. For sake of

It's never happened outside of X, and at first it only seemed to happen

Hello all,
I've just experienced my first ever system crashes. They were all within
the last several days (after an upgrade that included an upgrade of XMMS),
and they all happened shortly after opening XMMS. There were only three
total, and it's not consistent, but XMMS & X are the only consiste

I'm having an interesting problem - esound has up and quit on me for some

stored. But if you've never done this before (which I'm guessing you haven't)

Search the debian website - on the packages page, (http://packages.debian.org,
I think) there is a search engine that lets you serach for a file by
distribution. It's the second (and last) search engine on the page.
Good luck,

You can do it one of two ways - download the packages and then dpkg -i
