1. The displayed characters flicks on konsole of X11 screen. My
monitor is a VE710B LCD and my video card is S3 Trio 3D/2X. I could
not found the driver for the Trio 3D/2X video card during
installation, so I selected S3virge driver. I am not sure that caused
the problem or not, how can I resolve this problem? Where can I get S3
Trio 3D/2X driver?
Run "lspci" and see what video chipset is detected. That's what you want
to match rather than the card's model number/description.
You can run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" to change video drivers,
refresh rates, etc. I'm not familiar enough with the S3 cards to know
which driver will match your particular card.
2. The CDROM and Floppy are not defined in mtab, I suspect that the
debian did not detect the hardware during the installation. I can edit
mtab to add floppy and cdrom, but I don't know which device in /dev/
linked to floppy and cdrom. Could you help please.
Run "dmesg" and you'll see that your cdrom is defined as something like
"hdc". That means that "/dev/hdc" is the device file that corresponds to
the cdrom; you can make a symlink like so:
# ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
and then refer to your cdrom by pointing to "/dev/cdrom".
Your floppy is almost certainly on "/dev/fd0".
PS. You'll likely get more hits to your posts if you'll use meaningful
subject lines. Generic lines like "Installation" are likely to be
ignored by some of the more Debian-literate folks on this list.
PPS. Top-posting is generally frowned upon on this list.
PPPS. When changing topics (or addressing multiple topics), you should
probably create a new thread (for each topic); elsewise people who
weren't keeping up with the old topic will continue not paying attention
to the new topic, and you're just hurting your chances of getting answers.
