ok here it goes: I just got a Brand Spanking New Dell Inspiron 500m. I went to load red hat 9 it loaded just fine but NO wireless controller was installed when I have one. and My video does work properly(I think spelling is correct:-)) here what the wireless card is Intel Pro/Wireless 2100 LAN 3A miniPCI I find a driver and my video is Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller I can find a driver for this but it does work and red hat resets X to the 852 driver and then I can't get the resolution on to change on the laptop display. I do belive it changes on the monitor out. the laptop display is 1400x1050. any help that you can give me would me great.
