scarecrow Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 lspci just informs us that you have a Radeon x1600 family videocard- hardly adequate to pass any useful tip. Any other information available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neddie Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Wow. :o No offence but I really couldn't follow what you were telling that poor guy. Clear descriptions of what is wrong and what you've done help enormously when trying to solve a problem remotely :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear descriptions of what is wrong and what you've done help enormously when trying to solve a problem remotely :) when it comes to linux im not very good at describing problems if i have any and most of the time when i install linux i have problems with the sound card and not the video card :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
