LCD not working in Xfree Compaq Laptop
 

hey...im posting this again cuz its a bit urgent, i have to submit a project on linux and samba in a week and i got this laptop just for my linux stuff. when i run the xfree config utility...it doesnt detect the display. it jus says screen not found and crashes to the command line. right now it is selected as a 1024x768 display. no one else seems to be having this problem on this laptop. can anyone help? its a compaq nx9005 with a 14inch lcd with a max rez of 1024x768. thanks a load.

or should i install mandrake?. will there be a difference? red hat is preferable because its a bit less gui intensive than red hat.

can you give a little bit more information? What do you see when X crashes?
you should read through what it says, sometimes it's related to something you can easily fix...
the (EE) fields are errors if I'm not mistaken

missing fonts? what messages?

whoa...sorry...it says Xfree screeens not found and comes bak to the console..this really sux...i bot this laptop so that i can use my desktop with windows and code my network stuff on the go. this is an issue with the mobility IGP320 it seems. its not supported by linux. anyone know where i can get a distro that supports it? im downloading fedora right now. is it gonna be any help?
