Subject: More Mandrake 7.1 on L50
Neil's been really good sending me the installation and getting most of it
up and running on my L50. But I'm a fish out of water here, and was
wondering if some of you Linux folks might be able to help me with three
things:
1. Configure XF86Config to recognize the C&T LCD monitor drivers, and set
the Lib's LCD up as a SVGA device in the Graphics and Screen sections. At
the moment I'm using Neil's XF86Config. See its data below.
2. Get a runlevel of 5 set up so I can get Mandrake to prompt me to choose
the X-Windows graphic shell. This seems to be linked to getting the correct
monitor setup in XF86Config.
3. Get PCMCIA set up so I can use my FDD, CD-ROM, and modem.
The Mandrake 7.1 kernal is the same as Neil’s: 2.2.15-4mdk
Thanks,
Matt
