WR> (except sound card - that's another issue).
Yes. The issue is probably a simple matter of configuring your
kernel. There are plenty of resources out there to tell you how to do
that. But anyway...
WR> 1) In KDE , my desktop seems to extend beyond the screen itself.
There's an option with X to have a virtual screen which is bigger than the
physical screen. I never have this set to yes because I find it
irritating. If you check the Screen section (at the bottom) of
/etc/XF86Config you will see references to 'Virtual 1024 768' or
similar. That's what you need to be getting rid of.
WR> (which shows me a "$", so I don't think I'm using bash and that's
WR> what I WANT to use.)
To use bash then install it from ports (if it isn't installed already - if
it is then it will be /usr/local/bin/bash) and then run:
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash [username]
WR> I try to go to root via "su" and it tells me that I cannot because
WR> I'm not in the correct group?!?!
To su to root you need to be in the 'wheel' group. You'll need to login as
root and then edit /etc/group - the first line will start 'wheel' and at
the end of the line, after the word root, add other usersthat you want to
give root access to, separated by commas.
