EDIT: where do i put images for them to be listed under "background images"?

hm.... i don't like xterm, i like whatever redhat used, where it showed the directory you were in
got background sorted tho, after emerging xli
i configured the kernel with AC97 support and it doesn't seem to work : / nor does my scroll wheel, even after adding the above ^^
erm... still gotta sort out the refresh rate... hmm

i think i have the horizontal sync right, but the vertical sync i'm not sure about. the monitor does 1024x768 @ 85hz, i have the h sync @ 31.5-57.0 and the v sync @ 50-90
according to a website i found, the horizontal frequency is 30khz - 69khz, and the vertical is 40-120khz, but i think thats for 1280x1024 which it only does @ 60hz
how do i use the PS1 command to show
[username@hostname directory]$
?
adding those lines to XF86Config seems to have made no diff
i think its a soltek SL75KAV
