Other Help Topics :: I'm new to Damnsmall Linux...

I installed damnsmall on my hard drive without a hitch. I have both problems when running from the hd and cd.

1) I can't get it to work in any resolution higher than 800x600 while keeping the color depth higher than 8 bit.

2)My sound card is not supported. Do you know where I can find a driver for it? Rockwell International Riptide Audio Controller.

Thanks in advance.

You might have to get the g++.dsl from the testing to compile it

Or get the alien package converter and use the redhat/fedora rpm and convert to a .dep

Hope that helps

You video and monitor might now support anything higher...what is the video adapter in your system?

Try typing " Xvesa -listmodes "
to see what possible combos your video chipset will do ..

I'm at school right now, but i will try "Xvesa -listmodes" when I get home. If it helps I have Intel chipset 810. And I will see if that audio controller driver works.
