Libretto 70CT - 1meg video ram (Chips & Technologies 65550), standard ps/2 mouse. if you're using gpm either disable it or set it up as a repeater (search www.google.com for gpm repeater, or somethint to that effect) - that'll cover your video and mouse. The video is 640x480, super standard - it's probably working just fine ( though it may be running in 8bit instead of 16bit mode )
