video problem

[David Voth]

I have a problem. I installed YDL 2.3 on my Power Mac 7500 with G3 
upgrade and installation went well. I had things running and I was 
able to work in KDE. The only thing is there were a couple problems. 
One was that sometimes the mouse would freeze up: I think it was if I 
logged out and tried to log back in. In the support files for YDL 
they mention this type of problem and suggested turning on video 
acceleration. I went in and changed that and also set the video depth 
from 16bit to 24bit or 32bit as I had been using in the MacOS. The 
problem I found was that when I went to reboot the computer it would 
boot up, but then it gets to a point where the display shows some 
text (dhcppc2 login: ) which continues to appear and disappear. I 
have a NEC MultiSync 3V monitor and I think it is having problems 
with the video settings. I don't know how to get the setting changed 
now. I looked in the support files, but the info that was suggested 
didn't seem to work.

Another problem I had was that things seemed quite slow in KDE. In 
the updates it mentions that updating the "qt" libraries will fix 
this. My question: can one be working in the KDE environment while 
you update these with apt-get or do you have to be logged out of KDE 
and in a text only terminal?

Thanks for any help.

David
