Hi all I have installed a dual boot system on my notebook, with XP and SuSE 8.2 I installed 8.2 to a minimum system, ie command line only, because a previous install to a full system gave me issues with the hardware. These issues are the reason for my post. First, does anyone know where to get video and audio drivers for this notebook? I have read some info online about installing Linux on this machine, but it's all RH, and looks extremely confusing to me (who doesn't really know very much). The first thing I would like to do is get X running properly, and by that I mean I want it to use the whole display area, not a tiny rectangle in the middle of the screen (!) I guess this is a driver-related issue (?) I'd also like to get the audio running (ALi Audio Accelerator WMD). But, frankly, I don't know where to begin. I've done some preliminary browsing and Googled for the model name and related Linux info, but didn't find a great deal that was immediately helpful to someone who is not an advanced Linux user. I've also checked Compaq's web site, but they don't appear to support any OSs other than the various Microsoft ones. Any and all help, comments, thoughts appreciated, as always.
