What distro did you try to install? Suse 10, Mandriva 2006, CentOS 4.3 and Fedora Core 5, work fine for me on a Travelmate 2413 without any problems (The display is automatically detected). If you keep having problems, try using generic LCD settings.

What version of Redhat? If its Redhat 9 or RHEL 3.x then you may experience problems because they are old distros and the hardware detection may not be very good on newer machines.

You are better off installing a newer distribution like Fedora Core 5. Redhat 9 reached its end of life a long time ago, so Redhat no longer provides support and updates. Redhat Linux was replaced by Fedora Core and Redhat Enterprise Linux. |
