Heil Obama!
Shouldn't really say that - our SS is serving under the crosstika too - the first NZ VC (Victoria Cross) in 60ish years - since Adolf1 warned about what's now going on in Occupied Palestine under the judeofascists with the support of the various fuehrers of the 4thReich.
Thanks for that leadin to the way to set up the "automatic" 8ooishx600ish resolution I'm after.
But when I did that in a terminal, as root of course, a string of all the vidcards the Xserver recognises came up with:
(EE) module ABI major version (6) doesn't match the server's version (7)
(EE) Failed to load module "ast" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) module ABI major version (6) doesn't match the server's version (7)
(EE) Failed to load module "apm" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(++) Using config file: "/root/xorg.conf.new"
(==) Using config directory: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d"
(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
(EE) [drm] No DRICreatePCIBusID symbol
Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.
Configuration failed.
appearing underneath.
[Can't ATM figure out how to paste "whatevers" as quotes - next time :-S :-) - it was enough to dig up KWrite after a series of crashes in KWord]
So it seems it tried to make an xorgconf.new but it couldn't do it - one didn't appear - maybe some libraries/apps missing??
And xorg.conf.d didn't seem to have much relevance to anything.
AAMOI to get to a root log-in: it seems to be hopeless to try to do it from the "Switch User" bizzo - the CPU(s) seem to wind up working at most of 100% - the OS virtually stalls - have to reboot to get to root - maybe one needs to su?? - a bit like winDoze :-(
As to how to set up Skype in linux - seems to be in the "forget it material" category :-) :-D
TIA
