It's a Samsung SENS800 laptop, with a 1 MB Cirrus Logic 7543 PCI graphics card. I noticed the packages are under 'stable', is there any way I can use apt-get to grab them without changing my sources.list? (sorry if this was sent twice, last time I sent it in HTML by mistake) Daniel ---

I think that 'make config' does the same thing as ./configure. Maybe the rest of the folks on the list see that it works, and haven't needed to get into the mechanics behind it? I've done this for about a dozen different styles of laptops, NICs, etc, and it seems to workforme... glen -Orig

Hmm! I'd be very surprised if it wasn't the reverse situation...In general cards that work under 3.x will work under 4.x, but not the other way around. As an example, I believe there are some newer Nvidia-based cards that require 4.x, and will not work under 3.x. On 12-Nov-2001 Daniel Frencham
