Laptops :: Latitude CP questions



Hey gang.  
I gave my niece an old laptop given to me by a friend, and I'd like it to run DSL.  It boots fine, and the network pcmcia card gets to the net, but like several others, i have the green screen issue.  Also, I have a D-link DWL-G630 wireless card in it as well.  I'd like help finding drivers for the card and fixing the green screen.
Latitude CPM233XT
D-link DWL-G630 Wirless

Thanks

Hi,
I've been messing around with DSL and and it derivative Feather for some time now.  I am running a Dell CP M233ST. The answer to your green screen issue is to make sure and boot with the x-framebuffer option, instead of xvesa. You will find that straightens things out.

On a side note, has anyone managed to get the sound to work with the Crystal 4237B sound system on this laptop? I have tried sndconfig to no avail. ALSA as well with no luck. From my forum reading, there should be a Mod Probe command, but I would appreciate it if someone could give me the particulars and where to insert it in the  boot process.

Thanks

Sorry guys with a bit more reading here I found some info on the CS4237B sound system, but any info specific to the Dell CP series would be appreciated.

Thanks
