Hi all,
I have the same trouble with Xwindow Mandrake 7.2 uptdate, but my hardware
is a Toshiba laptop, Satellite model 2515CDS.
All the tools and all configurations I heard to run, I did them. But all of
them failed.
I had ever problems too, with other KDE2 distributions, such SUSE and
Conectiva, and I didn't get success.
But the Mandrake 7.1 and others of same version
works weell.
I run Xconfigurator and it works.
Please, can anyone help to solve that?
