Would you be so kind and give me the instructions (for a newbie) how you installed xfree86.dsl? I am going to do the installation of Xfree86.dsl, too (to get higher resolution rate).
thanksall i did to install it was to go to mydsl, find it and clicked "get it". i found the config file for it but i am new to all this so i am not sure what to do.try typing "XF86cfg" which is a graphical config tool.

hmmm... cant seem to get this to work. It should be in the /etc/X11 folder right? I am having trouble finding it.On my other machine (Agnula / also Debian based) there is a XF86Config and a XF86cfg in /etc/X11/.
While the XF86Config is text based (and is not very user friendly because it does not save the XF86Config-4 automatically) the XF86cfg works fine for that machine and enables me to set the main values for the graphics card, the screen , the keyboard and the mouse.
I am not sure whether the XF86free.dsl contains this file (I prefer it). I haven't installed XF86free.dsl it yet. But I am going to do it the next days because i need hardware accelerated scaling for my matrox millenium which the X86free.dsl HOPEFULLY supports.Next Page...
