RE: [newbie] Compaq Laptop display

[Pastor Martin J. Hellema]

Dear Ian,   I have a similar problem with another computer. I am not sure yet what the problem  is (videocard ?)  but maybe if you use the settings in last settings in the framebuffer section in the install guide manual with the Linux Mandrake 7.0 box to get it up and running.   If you get an answer before that I am going to try the above standing as well, please let me also know.   Thank you,   Martin J.

All seems to be well until I try and find a monitor in the last step.   My machine is a Compaq Presario 1200xl109 Laptop and the documentation I got with it isn't very comprehensive.  I have found that the driver is for a 'Trident CyberBlade i7 (47)' which is listed in the first part of the setup but then I cannot choose the correct monitor for the install to complete.   I have tried all the Compaq ones to no avail and I really would like to use the GUI in Linux-Mandrake.     Hope you can be of help.     Ian Carmichael
