shell commands open up then. Iam able to run the unix/linux commands from the text console. But GUI does not work.
Please do help.

Check out http//www.akiaki.org/linux/presario.2500.HOWTO.html for install guide using SW9. Madpenguin's SlackersBible or On line LinuxEssentials2 at Linuxpackages documents offer helpful guides too. Maybe SW10.2 has better drivers. Good luck.

Thanks a lot mr Lestoil
