hey kamasheto,

as for your screen resolution, please change the Section Screen to look like the following:

Section “Screen”
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection “Display”
Depth 15
Modes “1024×768″ “1280×600″ “1024×600″ “800×600″ “768×576″ “640×480″
EndSubSection
SubSection “Display”
Depth 16
Modes “1024×768″ “1280×600″ “1024×600″ “800×600″ “768×576″ “640×480″ “1024×600″ “800×600″ “768×576″ “640×480″
EndSubSection
SubSection “Display”
Depth 24
Modes “1024×768″ “1280×600″ “1024×600″ “800×600″ “768×576″ “640×480″
EndSubSection
SubSection “Display”
Depth 8
Modes “1024×768″ “1280×600″ “1024×600″ “800×600″ “768×576″ “640×480″
EndSubSection
Device “Device[0]”
Identifier “Screen[0]”
Monitor “Monitor[0]”
EndSection

about the service command, actually SuSE is using another mechanism. If you want to start the webserver you’ll write
rchttpd start instead of service httpd start on fedora, got the idea?

Hello Ahmed,

Thank you very much for your help. Very much appreciated.

The screen resolution - what a mess lol. I inserted that piece of code instead of Section “Screen” part, but for some reason Kate is a rich text editor (or so it seems?) and inserted my quotes in a fancy way that broke my XWindow system. The strange thing is, I didn’t know it might be because of that until I called Ahmed Abdallah to tell me what the problem was lol - I initially blamed you for that but then I knew it was all just a direct insult to my intelligence lol.

So after restoring my backup (thanks god I had one) with the bash console I “startx” and tada, it was all working like a charm - with my screen resolution still the same. So I edited it again, carefully this time, and restarted my xwindow system again - and it worked! Though with the same result lol. It might be because the “Modes” do not have any “1400×1050″ values in them? I see (now that I broke something and have to dig into it) that your modes are just a shorter version of what should have been there? Still both ways without my 1400×1050 screen resolution. I’m confusing myself again lol

Uhm, my localhost. What a misery - lol. I tried ALL kinds of commands and nothing was known to my shell - I’m going to switch to fedora soon I’m telling you - so after PLENTY of looking around, there seems to be an “apache2ctl start” command line that runs my apache. Luckily, and because I’m such a suck-a$$ linux user lol, “/service.d/include.conf” did not exist, and that needed to be there because “/httpd.conf” included it around line 188. So after a failing attempt to re-install apache from my distro, I decided I was going to download it again and install it my way - which apparently worked this time!

Thanks again for your personal help =)

VICTORY!

I did it!

Here’s how I resolved the resolution problem. There seems to be a “915resolution” command that has something to do with IntelChips, “915resolution -l” lists all the available modes for your computer - you have to run this using root, not just the root terminal, no idea why that is.

After running “915resolution -l” it turned out to be 1400 is not registered somewhere, so I had to run this comment to register it “915resolution 5c 1400 1050 32″ (32 is the bit/pixel). On that, shell said the mode has been registered successfully.

Now after restarting the Xwindow system, the mode should be available to all users. The resolution is MUCH MUCH better now, and everything seems PERFECTLY fine with me!

LOL, welcome in

Search for “xmms”, you will like it :woot:

I didn’t try installing a webserver under a SuSE box, ma3a en ya a5y el SuSE dah kan awel ta3mol leya ma3a el Linux after el Slax “Live CD”, bas kan fel3an e7sas tany, the same feeling you felt exactly

Fedora Recommended

bala Fedora bala kalam fare3`, w ba3d kda lama a2a3 f moshkela ala2y 7alaha bi sohola awi kda lol

I’m loving it walahi =)
