This is the first time I'm accessing x86's forums from LINUX! I finally figured out how to get Slackware to load ndiswrapper.... so here I come baby! w00t!
Now..... HOW can I change my video settings so that I can run at a resolution other than 1024x768? My laptop is widescreen... it supports up to 1440x900.
ndiswrapper?
I'll assume a program I have never used and/or something related to wireless.
Congratulations, by the way. ;)
Now, you're off to Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org) to pick up Firefox and Thunderbird, correct?! ;)

Actually I picked up the "leet world-humping fox" before I stopped by. :P
Well then, you're on top of things. :)
Psst...what's your hostname? <3

I believe it's somewhere in your xorg.conf, you add it under the monitors section. Hopefully, you don't an ATI chip, or you should just shoot yourself to save yourself time.
Or run xorgconf.
Although, you're probably better off just modifying xorg.conf, as some of the stuff I configured in xorgconf was confusing. :(
Wait, unless he's some super linux user and doesn't even use X! Then, I'm not sure what you have to do to change the non-graphical part, if you find out, please inform me because I need it for my 2.6.10 kernel :P!
The loading screen thing part is actually a kernel option, I noticed.
And yes, run xorgconf and then edit the resulting file by hand, adding anything necessary.
You may need additional drivers/work/drugs to get your video card working properly, though. MIcrosoft has their hands in far too many manufactorers' pockets.
Pff, Nvidia drivers rock linux.

LOL yeah right. The pointing and clicking stuff has grown on me. I still have every DOS command ever invented memorized (good luck getting me to use "ls" instead of "dir", by the way) because I used it so much when I was a chillun.
I would have you just enter in "mode con cols 80 rows 50", and then tell you to make sure you have the DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS file, but I don't think that'll do it. :P
I liked DOS, it's not a hard typing "dir" will still give you the directory listing, but "ls" won't do that once you get back on DOS :[. I was working on a friend's computer and I kept typing "ls" and being ticked off! MyndFyre would "mode con cols 80 rows 50" change the screensize to 1024x768 ?

No; it would give text mode an 80-column 50-row screen as opposed to the standard 80-col 25-row screen used by default in DOS since 3.33 (before it was 40x25, or uberfat).
