Re: YLMF(ubuntu)-Resolution problem?

Hello, I finally got hold of the desired linux version - based on Ubuntu
and Debian - YLMF, the only problem I have is that the monitor size only
goes up to 1024x768, eventhough my IBM P72 monitor can handle up to
1280x1024 and the same goes for the nVidia Vanta 16Mb card I have.

What did they say in the ylmf forums?


Synaptic package manager has 3 nVidia drivers but its not specified
which one is for the Vanta. There is nvidia-96, nvidia-173 and
nvidia-current - which one should I use?

None, the support for your graphics card was dropped in version 71.86, so you
will be stuck with the nv driver, which is quite limited in comparison to the
nvidia driver.


I tried installing all of them
at once and now nVidia X server is installed, but it will not work since
it says that I'm not using the nVidia Xserver driver????

Seem like there is yet another command that has to be run to actually enable
the driver (you can only have one activated at one time), which command it is,
I have no idea, but I'm sure you can find it in the distro forums.


Could it be that some config tool is not installed by the YLMF install?
In that case what, and how do I install it?

YLMF forum is in chinese that why I'm asking here:)

Learn to read/write Chinese then or switch to a dstro where you can get
support in a language you master.
