| mikecc | oh god ati |
| sid | GeorgeS069: What model card? |
| GeorgeS069 | ATI Radeon Xpress 200M It's a laptop |
| phorce1 | gee, I installed a redeon 9800 pro AIW last night. Used the debian packages. Works fine (except I'm trying to figure out how to adjust gamma, it's a littlr dark) |
| mikecc | when i do tasksel install desktop it says, aptitude failed (255) |

| abrotman | mikecc: what WM/DE do you want ? |
| mikecc | abrotman: umm i dont know im just trying to get things installed an i assume the desktop "task" has a bunch of utilities preselected abrotman: i guess blackbox you meant windowmanager by WM right? |
| abrotman | mikecc: apt-get install xorg blackbox xdm |
| phorce1 | mikecc: tasksel installs a full Gnome desktop. I've been removing bits and pieces by hand for weeks after using it. |
| hatta | I always prefer to start with a minimal install and apt-get things as needed easier than grabbing everything and removing cruft |
| phorce1 | hatta: I got in a hurry <sigh> |
| mikecc | phorce1: haha then ill do what abortman said :) thanks abrotman thanks for the info phorce1 |
| manience | hi, is there a way to adjust the screen resolution in the normal console view, because the standard actually is 640-480 *x |
| abrotman | xrandr |
| wols | manience: sure. use fb and give the kernel a parameter "vga=ask" there are all kinds of framebuffer things to use. apt-cache search for them |
| manience | wols: what do u mean with fb= ? |
| wols | framebuffer |
| abrotman | manience: you mean change the console resolution or change the X resolution from the terminal ? |
| gotaku | Is there a way to completely remove KDE from my system, including all the kde applications? |
| manience | abrotman: is there another way like the x one? |
| abrotman | like wols said |
| manience | abrotman: i thought it would only working with x |
| wols | gotaku: remove kdelibs |
| abrotman | !remove kde |
| dpkg | from memory, remove kde is aptitude purge kdelibs-data kdelibs4c2a |
| wols | all kde programs depend on it. there might be a kde-commons, remove that too so hated it has its own factoid? |
| abrotman | !remove gnome |
