G'day John, Original message: Has anyone gotten X to work on a Presario Laptop model #1277? One of my co-workers is trying to get Linux installed on his laptop and it seems the lcd display won't work for him under X. :-( I don't know if you want to try this. What I ended up doing to get my Gateway Solo 2300 working was to set it as a Generic Multiscan monitor, set the appropriate resolutions and away it went. No matter how much I tried I could not get it to work properly using the Laptop monitor option. The end result was X in 800x600 with 16 bit colour. cya Grant Schmarr
