I have an XP1000 running Debian. The video card that came with the machine is not supported under Linux for X, so I do not use the video card. Works fine to run an X app on it and display elsewhere, though. Besides that, after I get past SRM and get it booted, it acts just like my Intel box running Debian. -- Neil Roeth -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
