I'm trying to get X Windows to work with a fresh Debian 3.0
installation on my Dell Latitude CPi D266XT. My problem is that when
the system boots up and starts gdm to bring up the GNOME login panel,
the screen goes dark and nothing I do brings it back.
I've tried editing my XF86Config-4 to us
I have a Dell Latitude CPi D266XT laptop running Debian sarge, and I'd
like to get PCMCIA working on it, so I can use my 3Com Ethernet card.
But it's not working and I can't figure out why.
I have modules 'kernel-image-2.4.19-686',
'kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.19-686', and 'pcmcia-cs' installed
When my laptop (Dell Latitude CPi D266XT, Debian sarge) is running, one
press of the power button will kill power and turn the thing
immediately off.
Is there any way to make the power button smarter, so that pressing it
will shut down cleanly, or bring up a 'do you want to shut down'
dialog?

Thanks! That was it exactly. I made that change and rebooted; dmesg
now shows these messages that weren't seen before:

What's 'yenta' mean, by the way? Is it the name of one of the chips?
Just curious...
If you do not use the built-in kernel PCMCIA drivers, but instead use
the full stand-alone PCMCIA-CS package, there is no yent

Uhoh. My '/etc/pcmcia' directory is empty, except for a 'cis'

What's the package that will let me choose my network settings at boot

I want to be able to sometimes boot without a network, without having
to wait a few minutes for DHCP to time out during startup.

Everything I've seen makes it quite clear that acpi is the replacement

How do I get tpconfig to still have tap-to-click turned off after

I'm having the same problem installing Xfree86-4.1.0-16 on a Dell
Latitude CPi D266XT as described by Brian Kendig (see below).
I was able to get around the problem by adding these two lines to
'/etc/X11/XF86Config-4':
