Since no answers are forthcoming, here is a suggestion: Try another distro on this piece of junk hardware and see what becomes, then you can make a decision:-) On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 10:50, nerdalf james <nerdalf@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi all,
I have installed linux mint 10 from a recently downloaded cd version iso on an old clone machine and having some problem:
1. If i set the a screen saver time out with a locked screen the computer logout the session after the time has elapsed logging in have no trace of the last running programs.
2. The current resolution is 4:3 1024x768 when i try to change it to 800x600 the comp logs out and doesn't reflect the changes.
3. I have installed wine. On running it, just before the window is created the it logs out the session.
could this be a graphics driver issue it has S3 inc. VT8375 vga controller.
Help is much appreciated
N/B: Machine is up to date as per update manger. I also tried lxde desktop but the above is still the case.
