Configuring video settings for X can be tricky sometimes. The best way to make sure the user gets an optimum setup for their equipment is to have the equipment. I would recommend that they bring the monitor too, however inconvenient that may be. However, there will be SOME spare keyboards, mice and maybe even monitors there. I don't know if there will be enough for everyone if they don't bring their own. And, someone that did not bring a monitor always has this list and member resources available if they want to upgrade their video settings for a better monitor at home. They just have to understand that they may not leave the Install Fest with the optimum settings and they may have to wait until a spare whatever becomes available before their install can proceed. We will do our best to accomodate. Alan On Fri, 21 Jun 2002 14:01:40 -0700 Bryce C wrote: What about common perhiperals? Will there be mice, keyboards and monitors? If a person has "special" hardware, they should bring it but what about a monitor at least? Should we really expect people to lug their huge computers and then their 50lb. monitors?
