uits, I will be replacing it with some other
type of Thinkpad, so again I am curious to know of any problems
and/or solutions you figure out for the 380. It still amazes me
that my used 560 is still running perfectly after constant use.

Greetings, and Happy Easter folks,
After several hours of trying to get an external monitor working with
my IBM 560, I am giving up without some help. Many months ago, I think
I saw a note about some "special things" that had to be added to the
XF86CONFIG file, to get this working.
I have been
Hello,
FYI - I remember seeing some posts that indicated that the
CD that was shipped with this book has problems. I
do not know what the "grub>" prompt is all about though.
Debian 2.1 is what I run on my Thinkpad 560, but a friend
copied the CDs for me, from the "official" ones.

About a year ago I picked up an IBM Thinkpad 560

Hi,
Time to learn about XF86Config. You may
actually have a 1024x768 "virtual" display,
where it will pan things within the 800x600.
It'd check your /etc/X11/XF86Config file, and
do some searching on the web for the "Linux
on Laptops" page, and get an XF86Config file
for your specific machine if

A year or so ago, I tried to get an XF86Config put together

and never got past 640x480. I now have an HP Ergo 1024 15", but

Hi Michelle,
It is very common to have problems creating (working) boot
floppies, caused by bad media. Lately, I need to throw out
about 1 in every 3 I try.
Ensure they are reformatted, and contain 0 bad blocks, otherwise
you will be frustrated!
