I don't get what eth0 is, and when i do /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start i get this:
| Code: |
* 'modprobe yenta_socket' failed
* Trying alternative PCIC driver: i82365
* Starting pcmcia ...
cardmgr[23188]: no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices
* cardmgr failed to start. Make sure that you have PCMCIA
* modules built or support compiled into the kernel [ !! ]
* Starting eth0
* Bringing up eth0
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ...
Error, dhcpStart: interface eth0 is not Ethernet or 802.2 Token Ring
[ !! ]

2) How can i change the resolution of the screen, its stuck at 1024x768 ?
3) is there any way i could get the scroll on the touchpad working and how about the extra(quick) buttons on the laptops?
thank you

also i wanted to get the sound working so i enabled the alsa support in the kernel and then emerged alsa-driver and alsa-tool and i added alsa to default (using rc-update) and i restarted the computer !
now when i open either mplayer or xmms and try to play a mp3 the players just freez... and if i push Ctrl+alt+backspace the whole system freezes!
any idea why this is happening? and i'm still having problem getting the wireless going! |
