1. 7.0 config questions: monitor resolution, font, X-system, Gnome, Midnight Commander, fstab
Basic RedHat 7.0 post-install configuration problems:
: RedHat on hda2 is not using the full monitor screen
area. The shaded background at logon occupies only
about 4/5ths of the screen area, leaving a wide black
margin on the left and an even wider black margin on
the right. This is a problem I do NOT have with
Corel 1.2 on hda7.
I assume this wide unused screen-area means that
there is something wrong with my X-window settings.
Will linuxconf help me to enter the right settings?
During install I specified 800x600 as my screen size,
because the print displayed in the test screen was
much too small. I also specified 32-bit colors --
perhaps that was the mistake. How can I combine
legible prit-size with full use of the screen area?
: Midnight Commander is using "s" and "9" instead of
the DOS box-characters in its borders.
: Gnome seems to have little or no keyboard interface.
Searching through help, I can't find keyboard
"shortcuts" to switch between windows or close
windows. The absence of a keyboard interface in
Gnome, makes Gnome cumbersome to the point of
being almost unusable.
: Gnome also hung during logout. I had to use Ctrl-Alt-F1
to get to the text-mode console. I tried killing
gnome_session, but that didn't free things up, so I
used the shutdown command. (What task should I have
killed?)
: None of my other partitions on the hard-drive came
up accessible. In fact, there was no /disks directory
at all! -- as there is in Corel (Debian). I
created a /disks directory and a subdirectory for
each partition, then copied the fstab information
from the Corel 1.2 partition. I hope this will fix
the problem.
