FrequentlyAskedQuestions
Ok, I've installed Kwort, what should I do now?
First, login as root, then add a new user with:
useradd -m -g users -G audio,video,cdrom,floppy,dialout,wheel -s /bin/bash newuser
Then you should configure your X settings with:
X -configure
Hint: sometimes simply typing "startx" works better. On the EEE 900A e.g. X -configure generated a wrong configuration where "startx" gave me a working X.
A new file will be created, test is with:
X -config ./xorg.conf.new*
Then, copy that file to /etc/X11 with the name xorg.conf
Now you can login with your new created user and start the graphical environment with the following command:
startx
My user can't play any sound file... What should I do?
Surely your user isn't in the audio group. Check it with the command:
id -n -G
If that's OK, then maybe you have to configure your soundcard, try it with:
alsaconf

I'm trying Kwort in qemu/kvm, but after doing X -configure my resolution can't get any higher than 800x600, is it there a way to fix it?
Yes, edit your xorg.conf (it should be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and set in the Monitor settings the HorizSync and VertRefresh. So your Monitor section should look something like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
VertRefresh 43-60
HorizSync 28-64
EndSection
