hi jim, is 3d-performance an issue for you? i've seen comparisons (done with the 1ghz inspiron 8000) between ati and nvidia. the nvidia card is significantly faster than the ati chip (+70% 3dmark 2000, up to +161% quake3, source: c't (german computer mag) 10/2001). greetings, uLI On Fri, May

hi, i think we should collect those tidbits of information on the installation and configuration of debian on laptops there. an example would be the comment on putting 'Load "xaa"' and 'Option "ExcludeCPUIntensiveSomethingFromAnywhere"' into XF86Config-4 in order to prevent X from crashing the OS

you should not include port 0x800-0x8ff when scanning which system resources are available for PCMCIA devices. i. e. replace the line include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x800-0x8ff, port 0xc00-0xcff with include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0xc00-0xcff and you should be fine. regards, uLI On Fri, Aug
