I just bought a compaq R3000Z with Broadcom BCM94306 802.11g which uses bcmw15a.inf and bcmwl5a.sys.I installed fedora core 2 and followed the instruction at http://www.fedoranews.org/contributors/e_a_graham_jr/ndis/ worked good. The only problem is that it takes around 10 seconds before it finds any website. I am not sure where the problem is. Also the connection is pretty slow.
This laptop also has nvidia gforce4 440 go. I installed the drivers from nvidia and found some instructions on getting 1280x800 here(http://quanta.homeip.net/pipermail/linuxr3000/). The only problem now is that the fonts are little bit fuzzy. its not really clear. Any ideas what could be the problem? my xorg.conf is posted here http://poobal.net/xorg.conf -- Karthik Poobalasubramanian [EMAIL PROTECTED] michael dolan wrote: > Well, this is funny.
