Re: Slackware 12 on Dell Vostro 1400 laptop


How is X11 started?

And what driver modules are being loaded? Are there possibly some left
over that only relate to the nv driver.


I don't know, but it does print the nvidia logo to the screen at
startup of x.

If you have the directory /etc/modprobe.d then you can create a similar
file, I think you may need to call the file for alsa.

In my Slackware 12 installation the file is called

/etc/modprobe.d/sound


so how do I do I point alsamixer to the file I created called "etc/
modprobe.d/sound"?


You need to adjust the gnome2 font settings (or install KDE compatible
version of openoffice), or you can install gtk-qt-enigne which makes
gtk2 application to use KDE settings.


I built the code from kde-look.org and followed the instructions, and
it worked. Thanks for the advice there!
