hi, I have an old Laptop, a Compaq Lte Elite 4/75CX with 75mhz, 24MB ram and an 800MB Harddisk.  I installed it with the the LILO bootloader, works fine, but I don't have any graphics drivers for the old chipset from Western Digital, WD/Paradise 90C24.  I've done some reseach and discovered, that the version of Xfree (4.2) doesn't have support for that chip, but the 3.2 version does.  My question is, can I somehow install drivers for this card?  Other than that DSL runs very well on that old laptop. :)

Have you tried framebuffer?
Many times old laptops will work by booting

boot: fb800x600
