| Post subject: | Help with install |
I was wondering if someone out there can help me. When I first installed knoppmyth I was having trouble running the CD. When it booted to the install screen and I would arrow up or down it would move up 2 selections or down 2 selections. Also it would not let me type if I pressed a key it would enter anywhere from 1 to many of that key. I finally got it to work by entering in the command: knoppmyth force=apic. Doing this made my keyboard function normally and I managed to install it. Once the install was done it tried to boot X and flashed a couple of times and then timed out. I found a post with the following temporary fix and doing this allowed me to start X and finish the install. # nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf Towards the bottom there is a space for Driver "something" You may want to try Driver "vesa" Also while there check the Depth for 16 or maybe 24. Then once you have that information scroll down a little farther to find the matching depth and remove any resolutions that are to high for your hardware. Look for something simular... Identifier "Card0" # The following line is auto-generated by KNOPPIX mkxf86config # Driver "nvidia" Driver "vesa" and in the screen section... DefaultColorDepth 16 ~ Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" It could be set to high. I then finished all the settings but when I Watch TV it is all choppy. So searching around I found links to install the nvidia drivers here. http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13281 when I issue the "make" command I get an error /usr/include/bits/socket.h:304:24: error: sdm/socket.h: No such file or directory make[2]: ** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1 make[1]: ** [scripts_basic] Error 2 make: *** No rule to make target 'include/config/auto.conf', needed by 'config/kernel.release'. Stop. Not sure what the problem is and if any of this is related to the problem I was having at the begining... Thanks for any help |

Ok, I tried a reinstall only this time using a PS/2 adaptor on my keyboard. Doing the install this way I was able to run through all the settings and got it to boot to X right away. I did not have to change to the "Vesa" drivers. I did not have time to see what drivers it installed for the video. So for some reason not using the USB keyboard corrected the video problem. I am also not sure if the nvidia drivers were done or not but I am guessing I will have to update the nvidia drivers. J. |
