This morning I installed Caldera Open Linux on Bam Bam . Everything went well, but for some reason the Partition Magic software didn't want to do anything with the second disk. It offerred to make a 300 MB Linux partition on Disk 1, but didn't recognize the format on Disk 2. I didn't run Probe to have the software discover my graphics card and monitor, so the best resolution choices it gave me was 640 x 480. That worked ok, but the problem is that the the windows for the KDE control panel seem to expect a higher resolution.
Any windowing environment needs to adjust to the resolution and color depth set by the user.
I had problems accessing buttons and fields. I fumbled along and figured out how to get into the X-windows server config to change the resolution. That time I ran Probe, which correctly identified the hardware and allowed me to select as high a resolution as possible. However, it doesn't seem that 800 x 600 on KDE is the same as 800 x 600 on Win 98. It just doesn't appear to be the same resolution.
