Ok.  It is:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupp....n&cc=us
Compaq Armada 1590DMT laptop
166 mhz 82 MB RAm  2.1 GB HD
Microsoft MN-520 wireless cardMicrosoft MN-520 802.11b orinoco chipset
drivers
modprobe hermes
modprobe orinoco
modprobe orinoco_cs
Floppy drive
Chips & Technologies video<---on boot do a fb800x600, select 800x600 with 16bit color
ESS audiodrive 1878<---try sudo modprobe sb

Wireless is working fine, as is screen resolution in IceWM.  The display in text mode and sound card are not working.


Did that help at all
Remember all commands have to be issued as root or sudo

I'm sorry.  Did what help at all?  I have edited and checked out many files, but I do not know where to look.  I know about su and sudo and root.  However, what file or files contain the boot configuration parameters.  I would like to change the boot screen resolution in text mode.  Also, how do I stop DSL from booting to X?

Ok.  I fixed the text mode display issue through editing lilo.conf.  When I try to configure the ESS Audiodrive 1878 through soundcardconfig, I get a segmentation fault error every time.  Also, how do I stop x from loading by default when I boot?  Thanks.
