Re: [trinity-users] What is WRONG With TDE PClinuxOS???

ok, i figured out what's wrong... for some reason this os includes unwanted junk like 'icewm'. furthermore it's set as the default file manager instead of 'tde' which is advertised on the livecd. i went to the repo and removed it (which i should NOT have had to do) but unfortunately the default layout still doesn't look the way it does when you run it from the flash drive. --- Original Message --- From: Baron <baron(a)linuxmaniac.net> To: trinity-users(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Subject: Re: [trinity-users] What is WRONG With TDE PClinuxOS???

It seemed that the mainboard had video built in and plugging in an external AGP card didn't disable the onboard one properly. It looked like the memory map had a hole where the on board video card memory was located, but the OS didn't know not to use it. The net result was that there were no icons and the ones that were visible were just black rectangles with no text. Changing the external video card did alter the apearance of the desktop, whilst removing it completly did allow an almost normal but low resolution desktop to be seen. Replacing the mainboard solved the problem. HTH. -- Best Regards: Baron ---------------------------------------------------------------------
