Hi,
not that I have been successful with this myself, but there is a
linux on laptop web page that has a lot of useful info, and the neomagic
card is supported under redhat, but you have to download an rpm for it.
Any mirror site should have it, but can't remember the file names. Goto
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/
I found lots of useful info and links plus docs on setting up the
neomagic card, just have to poke around a bit to find the right info. I
have only started to try it myself (haven't succeeded yet, but haven't
spent much time : ( ,
cheers

Greetings...I have, yet again, a most likely simple question... :-P
My friend has a Compaq Presario laptop which I partitioned so it has
Linux
on it. Red Hat 5.1 to be exact...
Anyhow, I tried configuring her display for X the only way I knew how:
figuring it out as we go along... (What can I say, its my preferred
method of working...) :-) So, I did most of the generic settings,
ans generic laptop settings whenever possible... Eventually I felt like
a
moron when I realized that all I had to do was use Windows to look up
the
name of her video card stuff... So, I did, and I got the name of it.
It's something like NeoMagic or something like that...I don't have it
with
me.
Regardless, any attempts that I make to change the settings result in
the
same error, over and over. It says something about not being able to
find
any displays and it has an "SVGA" in there somewhere. This still
happens
even if I set it to VGA...
So, X is not working, and I'd like to get it working!!! Any ideas on
how
to get this configured properly???
Thanks!
