Get my Prostar Laptop to work at the proper resolution?
But first let me give you a quick run down on how I got into Linux. I downloaded Mandrake from thier site a few months ago. Burned 3 CDRs. Installed Mandrake and the resolution was perfect! I managed to get connected to the net using my network conncetion here at work. BUT I had no info on how to use Linux. So after the success of Mandrake, I decided to buy (gasp!) SuSE Professional 7.3 since it came with manuals that would help me. Now when I installed SuSE, my resolution is not as good as what I had under Mandrake 8.1 Also, I can't figure out how to connect using my network connection. Mandrake and SuSE look very similar, but I am confused why Mandrake set up my resolution correctly and SuSE didn't.
I know this may require a lengthy technical response, but I am at a loss for what to do and Linux is just taking up space on my HD until I can solve these problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe
