Hi I did it some time ago on a similar laptop (can't remember type). * I had good experience installing XF86Setup (needs VGA16 server) * then I run xvidselect (shows the right XServer - propably SVGA) * then I installed the SVGA Server * the I run XF86Setup again * as graphic driver I installed Neomagic (the only one available) * I choosed 800x600 but with low dpi * if it runs with this low dpi - try to higher it (till it's too high to run X)
Hope this helps Dieter > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet am: Sonntag, 19.
