Major components are: Chipset : Intel i815e AGP Chipset (maybe i815em) Video: ATI Mobility M4 32Meg (supposedly not yet supported) Sound: ESS maestro 3i Optical drive will be a R-R/W CD Rom (dont have details yet) LCD: 15" SXGA 1400x1050 16mill col. (suppose to be able to X at 1600x1200) other: 56k & 10/100 3com internal card (expect it's a win modem but...), IrDA 1.1, USBx2 Main and secondary battery ( yes it can hold another device as well as the F/d and CDrom) <p>When it comes i'm putting SuSE Linux on it with a very small dos/win partition, otherwise it's Linux. Making use of boards such as the Linux Laptop, etc but expect will have to YELL for help to both mailboxes at stages. When it's completed hope to be able to get rid of a couple of desktops and take my fun/work on the road. regards scsijon

I have an Award BIOS set to SPP with interrupt 7 at 378. I have the new Yast2 downloads too and a ticket open with SuSE on the matter. If anyone can help then I'd be really grateful. It works fine under windos however. I'm not new to Linux either and have installed many a friend's machine without too many problems but this just has to be something deeper! Thanks, Steve.

A real BAD one!!

Message-ID: <3A120766.D8C85D2C(a)lightlink.com> Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 22:47:50 -0500 From: "Fred A. Miller" <fmiller(a)lightlink.com> Subject: A real BAD one!! This is the second time that I "blew" my system trying to get the Plextor CDR drive to work. At least NOW I KNOW what the setup, "BY THE BOOK" have a problem with...Alsa!! Modules, principally the 3COM driver for the NIC and the Alsa drivers for the SB PCI 512 audio. Modprobe goes "spastic!!" The only way I could recover was to manually edit modules.conf, commenting out anything to do with sound, undo all the changes I'd made to set up the CDR drive, and reboot. Then use Yast2 to install sound again. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks, Fred -- If you listen on a quiet night, you can hear the sound of an NT Server reboot.

HELP!! Lost network!

Hey there people, I've been trying for some weeks now but have had no luck what so ever. I was creating a user account for one of our team on my linux box when it locked up completely and I had to reset the computer. When it came back up I found that I could not ping the other machines nor could I get out onto the web. Linux is still seeing the Ethernet card but doesn't go any further than that. I reinstalled the card with no success. There is no other problems with the machine other than this. Hope someone can help.
