Hello Dears Debian Members,
yesterday I try to install graphical debia first
time and I succeeded during installation i face lot of
questions now I want to clear my concept about
questions which I faced during installation.
1st Question:
After choosing my VGA driver i faced this
question.
Rather than communicating directly with the the
video hardware, the X server may be configured to
perform some operations, such as video mode switching.
se kernel Frame buffer device interface.
------------
please help me what me should do here install
kernel frame buffer or not?
I'm sorry I don't quite understand the framebuffer, so I can't tell you
what the "correct" answer is, but I always answer "no". If your system
needs it, you can change it later (probably with "dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xfree86", or by editing the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file by hand,
which is not recommended, as it'll break the functionality of the
dpkg-reconfigure method).
2nd Question.
Inorder to enable ordinary users to use SVGA
consol graphics usualy considered to be security
hazard.
Do yu want to install gnuplot setuid root.
____________________
Please give tell me what i can to do here. Install
gnuplot or not?
---------------
This isn't asking if you want to install gnuplot; it's asking if you
want to install gnuplot in the "setuid" manner. I almost always answer
"no" when asked if a program should be installed setuid. On a system
with just a few users, you can give the users the appropriate access to
the program via sudo, which is my preferred way of doing things. You
probably want to read up on "setuid" and on "sudo". But for now, just
answer "no" and realize that non-root users won't be able to use gnuplot
for now.
3rd Question:
Mozila now support TrueType font.
----------------------
so please tell me i should install Freetype2
support or not?
-----------------------
Generally, "yes".
4th question:
the i faced another question about Mozila and it
was (some times mozila hangs since plugin (e.g.
FlashPlugins lock you can use dsp wrapper to resolve
it.
none
auto
esddsp
alrtsdsp
please help me which option me should choose?
-----------------
I always choose "auto", unless I have no sound system, in which I might
choose "none". The wrapper basically allows different programs to access
the sound card at the same time; otherwise if you have an .ogg file of
your favorite band playing and then your browser hits a Flash-enabled
site that plays music, the two apps start fighting over which gets to
use the sound card.
5th question:
Net i got about key board.
Configure XServer-XFree86
Please Select your keyboard model
pc104
-------------------
pleae help me what kind of option me should select?
if i have (PS2 keyboard) then what option should me
selected? if i have (USB key Board) then what kind of
option selected?
----------------
If you have a standard American-style PC keyboard (most anything you'd
buy off the shelf at CompUSA or get with a Dell or Gateway), "pc104" is
probably a safe answer. If you have a laptop keyboard or some other
"weird" keyboard, you might have to choose a different style in order
for your keys to behave as you expect.
