yea the monitor is pretty tight, as for the card readers and ipod, i am pretty sure that will work, especially if i get the drivers its a Intel? 82845G/GL/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device yea your right about the drivers, thats all i need i went to the intel website and downloaded the appropriate driver but they didnt work i tried to run the install.sh but then it says stuff about kernel modules, and AGPGART.. but i dont even have AGP... only PCI [please watch your language. thank you. - arctic]

hi i recently bought a new monitor (viewsonic vx2245wm) but i cant get it to work properly i went into mcc and i tried to change the resolution, it installed 915resolution for me and then it found my monitor i tried to change the resolution from mcc but it just wont go through i have a intel 845 i went to the intel website but i couldnt find much could you guys help me out? thanks

cool thanks it worked just one more question, how do i unmount it?

i am trying to mount an iso file using the "mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename.iso /mnt/iso" command but i get this: Usage: mount -V : print version mount -h : print this help mount : list mounted filesystems mount -l : idem, including volume labels So far the informational part. Next the mounting. The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'. Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted. mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab mount device : mount device at the known place mount directory : mount known device here mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device. One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere: mount --bind olddir newdir or move a subtree: mount --move olddir newdir A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom, or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid . Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd]. For many more details, say man 8 mount . what do i need to do?

i tried to install mandriva 2007 powerpack on my dell dimension 2400 and when i boot into the dvd, i don't get any kind of graphical installer... its all text, how do i bring up the graphical install? i pressed alt+f4 when it gets to the install part... and i see.. linix agpgart interface v0.101 agpgart: detected an intel 845g chipset. agpgart: detectd 892k stolen memory. agpgart: agp aperture is 128m @ 0xe8000000 i dont think i even have agp....

kudichodio, i updated the easy urpmi, and i tried urpmi xscreensaver and it said no package named xscreensaver

i cant install xscreensaver... the source was being gay so i downloaded a rpm, then the rpm said: Some requested packages cannot be installed: xscreensaver-4.22-5mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied chbg) and i cant install a chbg package
