I've managed to get DSL up and running on this machine, using the usb bootfloppy and a usb flashdrive. Networking is working and even Wireless with a netgear MA401 16 bit card, I've added apt-get and the GNU utiities although with a 4.3G harddrive I need to be careful. I still don't have sound but that isn't uncommon with laptops, its soundblaster compatible so just a matter of time. More troublesome, because this is a tablet pc will be the pen device, any help there would be appreciated. The unit has 64mb of ram and a P233 mobile processor and the usual neomagic video card but XVesa doesn't work. In windoze it supported 1024x768 with 16bit colour although you had to scroll the screen, 800x600 worked perfect as well. This is not a dual boot machine I quit doing that a few years ago. I realize that I will need a more standard Xserver but not sure how to go about installing it. thx Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on July 17 2006,01:19
You could install XFree86.dsl and use their neomagic drivers (I believe they are included).If sound doesnt work (first try to turn up the volume), you may need to use ALSA. (Look on the startup if they are recognized by DSL or not) I don't have any experience with tablet pc's. Posted by magog45 on July 19 2006,17:44
Sound is up, now the xserver. I must say I am impressed with DSL as a whole although a standard xserver and a few options at startup so those of us with a bit of experience can set it up as we see fit would be nice.

Well, XFree86 4.3 is pretty much your standard x server, even though it's older-ish.
