Hi Skye, Check out the Linux on Laptops page at: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ I have counted 11 links to successful install of Linux (not necessary Mandrake though) on the Picturebook. Try to click out some of these pages and see whether you can find any clues. I think you have to customize the xconfig files to make it work. (for a sample, check out this page -> http://www.animaproductions.com/linux4.html) Hope this helps. > -----Original message begins----- > > From: Skye Louey [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, February 09, 2001 3:23 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: > Subject: [newbie] X and Sony VAIO PCG-C1VN > > Hello all, > I’m having a problem with getting X running on > my notebook (Sony VAIO PCG-C1VN).
