Hi folks,
I recently got an Inspiron 4000 from Dell, and ran into video
problems. I chose standard 1024x768 laptop display for the monitor, and
1024x768 with 16-bit color resolution, and accepted the default graphic
card it selected. The test looked perfectly fine. On the reboot,
however, once it launched X, everything went fubar. I rebooted and when
it got to X again, the screen went a different kind of fubar, and I
rebooted again. After this reboot it went to grub command-line (it
somehow lost the boot choices I had set up). I had no idea what to do
from here (who wants to read grub manuals), so I proceeded to clean out
the disk again and re-install Windows 2000.
Anyone know what the correct choices are for the Inspiron 4000
for Linux-Mandrake 7.2? Thanks in advance.
Jeff
