Kriselda,
The first thing I would try is change your current monitor selection away
from High Frequency. I had similar problems with the same monitor
selection on my IBM ThinkPad. I ended up choosing pseudo-randomly from the
long list of IBM TFT monitors until I found a good match (only took t
I'm on a Presario 1800T with a 15" TFT "base model" monitor. I called
Compaq and they can't tell me if there's a specific model name or number for
this monitor. When Linux-Mandrake detects the monitor, it chooses the "High
Frequency Super VGA, 1024x768 at 70 mHz", so I just take that since I don

I want to install Mandrake 7.2 on a 380Z laptop as the only OS. Are
there any power management issues I should be aware of? I've read a
couple of how-to's that said it might be better to leave Windows on the
system for power management and system configuration. Any thoughts on
this?

With regard to the modem, the winmodem presents a problem. Although some
of them can be made to work with winmodems, most don't. The best source
I have found is at:
www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html
I'll leave the sound card and USB questions to smarter people than me --
and there's lots of
little or no chance for the modem. As for the sound card...well let's say
that this is likely going to be an adventure where you will learn many new
searching skills. Have you checked the HCL at the Mandrake site yet to see
if your sound card is supported? Linux doesn't always pickup the hardware
I have just installed Mandrake on my laptop and I am having a few problems.
I did a standard install and I do not think there is support for my sound

Do I stand a chance of getting these to work?

Title: RE: [newbie] Laptop
You are correct that it will run bad on a 486 if at all. I however run it on Pentium Pro 200 with 96 MB of ram and it runs apps almost as fast as my 500 Mhz running Winblows 98 SE.

Greetinz,
I recently installed Mandrake 6.0 on my laptop. Yet I have a problem

Every sound gets played twice, the first instance interrupted by the
second. This is like an echo effect.

I'd share a success story with everyone.

What happens when Linux detects your drive.. but it has an invalid geometry
