Tweaking Linux

[Alan DeJong <annette@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Before i get ahead of my self with the laptop and all, i should really
get linux working the way i want on this box...  So i have a few
questions.  One, i have the STB Velocity 128 3d AGP (Nvidia Riva 128
chip set) on my machine.  And the drivers i have for it under linux dont
seem to work worth a darn!  The color is all messed up, there is
pixilation all over the screen, its like its in 256 color mode or
something, and its really annoying!  That's my first major problem! The
second is, kppp wont dial my modem, it says it wont respond or
something.  Now i know its there and that it works under linux because
it has dialed out before.  Any suggestions?  And one final thing, when i
mount my windows partition, whenever i tried to load something out of
that partition it says PERMISSION DENIED, kinda like, hahaha, its there
but i'm not going to let you use it! Theses are just 3 questions out of
a list of 1 million or so, so any help would be great!

Thanks,
-Alan

P.S....... i went to best buy today to get 6.0

about $30.. these times, they are a changin'! :-)
