linux on NEC Versa 4050H (?)

Post by Anton Coli » Thu, 25 Jul 1996 04:00:00



  I own a NEC Versa 4050H laptop, and I would like to use linux
(including X Windows) on it.  The technicians/software people at my
office tell me that the machine has a Chips&Technology graphics card,
and that there's little or no support for this in XFree86.  They also
tell me that there's little or no support for the glidepoint.

  Is there anyone who is successfully using linux on this machine, who
would be able to give me some hints?

  Thanks in advance!

I'm using Linux on a 4080H, and it works just fine thanks...

The glidepoint works as a PS/2 mouse...  (but doesn't have it's normal
nifty features of double tapping for double clicking)

Beyond that you can use the SVGA X-server quite nicely...

Have a Day.

 
 
 

1. Having problems with NEC Versa 4050H laptop install (removable CD-ROM)

I am trying to install RedHat 5.2 on a NEC Versa 4050H laptop.  It is not
working.  When I try to boot LILO, I get a lot of 7's and 0's on the screen.
One of my main concerns is that the laptop has a removeable
floppy and CD-ROM drive.  When the CD-Rom is installed, it acts as the
master IDE and the harddrive acts as the slave.  Otherwise, the harddrive
acts as the master drive.  One more thing - if I do a custom installation
and set the mount points for the disk partitions, and then go to disk
druid again after the installation, the mount points have been erased.
What does this mean?  Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated.
