Mandrake 10 and Laptops (X11 problem?)
I have been running Mandrake 8.2 on a Toshiba Sat Pro 490CDT for some time.
The Problem I have is if I try to upgrade to a later version of the distro. What generally happens is that I can generally get the installation to the X bit and then the whole thing crashes. After a reboot Mandrake Linux is there but I can only get it to run in text mode.
The problem seems to be (and I am guessing) that only XFree86 v 3 will work with this laptop.
Is there an easy way (bare in mind I am a bit of a noob) that I can upgrade to Mandrake 10 but still use XFree86 v3. Can't seem to find a way to do this in the nice GUI install.
Thanks
Mori
