Hi,
I wonder whether anyone can help with a couple of
questions...
I am currently switching from Windows to Ubuntu
7.10 using KDE Desktop - The system is installed fine and working (with my
wireless USB Adapter as well which well impressed me considering all the scare
stories I'd heard) but my first problem is I am having trouble bringing over my
mail.
I am sharing one disk between Windows and Ubuntu
but when I go into Konquerer I can't seem to see my Windows Drive (SDA if
memory serves me right?). I can map to Remote Drives etc via SAMBA but
thought that local drives would be visible straight from the File
Manager?
Do I have to Mount the drive before I see it (to be
honest I thought KDE would have done this automatically, my CD-Drives etc all
seem to be mounted) and if so is it something I can do with the GUI or do I have
to get down and dirty in Terminal?
My second query is a little more esoteric - I have
three screens attached via three graphics cards but can't seem to get the two
secondary monitors working (they all work fine under Windows). I have checked
the Hardware and all three cards are registered and when I go into Screen
Management it seems to suggest that the three monitors can be configured (unless
I am getting confused with multiple Desktops, I get three Screen 1's) but when I
try and set one of the others to the Monitor and Resolution the system won't let
me - Could this be a driver issue or is there something I need to do in the
Video Config files (sorry can't remember the name XCONF is it?).
Thanks in advance for any help you can
give.
