Hi le-nerdo

Download and try the SimplyMEPIS-32 Beta3 Release...

http://www.mepis.org/node/12316

There are some video-card updates, as you can read.

So, maybe this is what you need?

Don't install yet, it's only a testversion!

Well I got mepis running on my Duel Core. Took a long time to install. Best I can get so far is 800x600 rez.

Had a horrable time installing it. I've forgotton all my linux commands. I stopped a job and didn't remember how to get back to it. Seems I have the drivers from ATI installed but I can't find a control pannel to change the settings.

How would I pull the new drivers from the test version with out installing. I'm basicly a noob now.

Hi le-nerdo;

I told you not to install, yet, but hey, I can't stop you, heheh! Eye-wink
Have you tried the Live-CD first, before installing?
There is an icon that says "Mepis install", which to most people is the only an easiest way to get started without Konsole (terminal) etc...

No Linux Commands should be needed in this case!

If you'd like to change the setting of your screenresolution,
1 rightclick on the desktop>configure desktop>
2 click on display>
3 size and orientation>
4 Screensizescrollbar>
5 pick your resolution>
6 click on refreshrate scrollbar and choose what you need...
