Title: Two questions about refresh rate and ADSL(pppoe) connection.
Post by: kk on August 16, 2009, 08:27:36 AM

My screen usually works at 1024x768x32@85HZ. In tinycore the resolution is right,but the wrong refresh rate makes me can stare at the screen.
How can I make it work at 1024x768x32@85HZ?

my another computer connect to internet by ADSL(pppoe). I usually use pppoeconf and pon to connect to internet. But I can't find a similar TCE. Which TCE contain the tools help me use ADSL? And how to use these tools?

thx a lot!

ps: I install it to USB driver, and boot it via GRUB

- Xvesa can't change the refresh rate, you need Xorg for that
- pppd.tcel supports PPPoE

instructions for pppoe:

Quote

DNS resolvers configuration

Edit /etc/resolv.conf with the values provided by your ISP. This is an example for the French ISP Wanadoo:

search wanadoo.fr
nameserver 80.10.246.130 80.10.256.3


Account settings

Edit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets:

"your_isp_login"       *       "password"


Configuration file for pppoe

You must tell ppp to use the plugin rp-pppoe (installed with the ppp package) in /etc/ppp/options:

plugin rp-pppoe.so
name <your ISP login name>
noipdefault
defaultroute
mtu 1492
mru 1492
lock



Running connection

That's all, you are all done! To bring up the DSL line, just type:
sudo pppd eth0

I have installed pppd.tcel,and written the configure files.
but when I use "sudo pppd eth0", it says "rp-pppoe xxx version compiled against pppd yyy version".

why and how?
