Hi all,
I am about to buy a Notebook which will be running debian only.
I have some offers with notebooks which do not have video-memory
but take a portion of the main memory for this. I am not shure if
Linux will run on this hardware at all (with X11)? Any suggestions?

Hi all !
I've got a question about sound configuration.
I know I have a VIA PCI audio controller :
I/O 220-22F
IRQ 5
and it seems to be sound blaster compatible.
What should I do to get it working ???
Many thanks in advance,
Olivier.
