Hello,
I have RH 5.1 on Toshiba 510CDT, and it works fine more or less. X Windows
work, but only with 8-bit depth, and during launch I get sometime bright green
screen (not too often, say every 10 time), but after restart startx everything
is OK. APM seems to be working (I have rebuild kernel for APM only yesterday).
Did not try sound yet. Did not try PCMCIA and ethernet, because do not have
them.
Best regards,
Maxim
