Hey deapee, glad to see its working.

Lemme hijack your thread for a sec and ask you a question: exactly what kind of tape are you using for your sensor cleaning again? I'm thinking about trying it and want to make sure i get the same kind...

the cheap stuff that isn't necessarilly clear when applied to something.

I'm having some resolution issues with linux. I tried running all the configuration settings from the run dialog...but no good.

I tried editing the xorg.conf file, but it won't let me save it. I don't know if it's because I didn't log on as admin or whatever.

Oh well I'll be searching for some help on this issue...if anyone ran into this lemme know.

It's possible that the permissions on the file are read only. Use the following command to give you write access.

chmod +w filename

Also, using ls -l will give the list of files and the current permission settings on each.

thanks...for this version, I had to:

open the file through the run dialog with the prefix sudo (which gives root access)...

then I searched the internet for my refresh rates, which happen to be:

VertRefresh: 50-120
Horizontal: 28-70

CTRL ALT BKSPC to restart X and it's perfecto.

It was so small before I couldn't even get the whole install dialog window up to install it to my hard drive.
