haha yes it works! now all i need to do is setup my 2nd hd : :D

how do i get do that in kde? (i use gnome but when i login as a root it comes up in kde and i get confused haha) how do i get do that in kde? (i use gnome but when i login as a root it comes up in kde and i get confused haha) wait i got to it

i installed mandriva on my first harddrive(36gb) and i was planning on using my 2nd hd (200gb) for storage and keeping only the os on the 1st harddrive. but i am nto sure how to set it up so mandriva recognizes the second harddrive... it says i only have 5gb left on my filesystem.. any help?

alright i got the driver running and i am using it now but the resolution still doesnt work on 1680x1050 or 1600x1000 (the 2 resolutions that work best with my 20.1 widescreen monitor) its only workign on 1280x1024(which looks horrible on a widescreen since thats like 5:4 and my monitor is 16:9)

ohh haha thought so alright well now what do i do after the packages get installed (from hiittng 1)?

and where might i find that to download?

2.6.17-5mdv im not really understanding what all this has to do with installing an ati x700 driver though :unsure:
