  1. As with anything I can't guarntee this but I've never heard of a working monitor not working in linux if it runs in windose.

     

    It more than likely just the wrong driver for the vidio card.

     

    The Vesa driver is a very old genaric driver that about 95% or better of all vidio cards use to get a very basic color screen.

     

    After you find something that works you can play with it more to get better resolution and screen use.

  2. I use a simple router to hook up my 6 computers. They all share the same IP internet connection and all can network together.

    This is great for games like Quake. And since its a cable connection they all have nice internet access times.

    But I dought this is the answer your looking for.

  3. I've never really had a problem with corrupted files.

    But I have had corrupted files and a totaled mbr before from bat shutdowns.

    I've never lost any real data though. Just reinstalled Mandrake and it found the old partitons so I used them. Since I have just about everything separated onto different partition I still had all my old data and all my old system settings.

    I always use separate usr,var,and home partitions on top of the normall / and swap.

     

    Though now that I said all this I'm sure my system will cr*p out tomorrow loosing everything.

  4. Have you tried running

     

    xf86config

     

     

    from the command line?

     

    If you can try using the basic VESA driver and a genaric monitor that matches her specs.

     

    That shoould get you closer to something usable.

  5. For those who don't know the Land Warrior Sytem is the Army's new infantry solders personal body armor. It has or will have an integrated set of medical sensors, tactical radio, GPS, night vision, infrared camera, off shoulder sighting system and heads up display in the helmet.

     

    The big problem was OS stability battery life/rechanging and battlefield integration with a command and controle source.

     

    It looks like all thats left now are the hardware problems.

    A small investment to keep my dillion bucks in M$ stock safe.

    Looks like another"I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine."

     

     

    Now this looks a little odd. To me it looks like some of the bigwigs are starting to think M$ shares might need a little shoring up. I don't know about you but if I had a billion invested in M$ stock I would probably do something like this also.

  7. I just played around a bit and found that by adjusting the colors in a simple picture like the tomato you can remove all the blue then clean up the last few pixels by free hand then you can select the background then invert the selection then cut and paste to a new image.

    Got everything done in about 1 minute and only selected the tomato in the end. Almost no free hand moving the mouse around stuff.
