I have mdk 9.1 and a HP nx9105 model laptop.
I installed the system but X couldnt initialize. the graphic card setup is OK.But I think the monitor is problem.I tried xf86cfg but I think I am still doing something wrong cause it still cant initialize.Any comments??

Check the X log in /var/log. It's called either Xorg.0.log or XFree86.0.log. It will contain all error messages and is probably useful - it usually is when troubleshooting X problems.

I have just ordered an NX9105 myself and from what I have gathered in order to use the 1280x800 resolution in X you need to add this to your X configuration (/etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/XF86Conf-4), to the Modelines section:

Code:

Modeline    "1280x800" 80.58 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 827
