Hi, I have been using CenOS-4.1 quite sometime now on this laptop. Under CentOS I am having a problem during boots (soft or hard boots) that I never had with any other Linux distros. I have to reboot the laptop twice as the first boot returns blank screen and hangs when it attempts to bring up login screen. I tested this a few times, there is no disk activity or any sign of OS activity..

I just purchased a Dell Inpiron 9300 from the Dell Outlet store. Installing CentOS4 went very, very smoothly until I tried configuring X. The 17" screen has a 16:10 aspect ratio with a 1920x1200 resolution. The best I could manage using system-config-display was 1600x1200. So, after a bit of research, I hand editted the xorg.conf file (reproduced below) and it now works great. Maybe

I ordered and just received today a new Dell Inspiron 640m laptop (it also goes by the name E1405). Anyone tried installing CentOS on this laptop? It's the wireless drivers I'm most concerned about; it's got the Dell 1390 internal wireless card (not the Intel wireless). Anyone have some feedback, on the wireless or any other issues, on running CentOS on this laptop? Thanks Paul

Hi; I'm new to the CentOS list and I only have experience with CentOS 4.3/4.4 on desktops. I just installed CentOS 4.4 on a very old Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop. I choose the desktop option and then deleted the kde and gnome packages because I have only 192mb RAM and 4gb disk (total). I'd like suggestions on how to maximize the effective usage of the laptop with CentOS 4.4...as a

After installing CentOS 5.2 on my Dell inspiron 1525 laptop, the sound was inactive, I then installed Alsa-Driver, Alsa-utils, Alsa-plugins and Alsa-libs the ATrpms site. The speakers then work fine, but when I plug in headphones, the sound begins to fade out and eventually becomes completely quiet. I have checked the Volume Manager and nothing is muted including the Headphones volume, when I

All. I just got my new 2100 from dell. Nice little box. PLugged my centos 4.1 in and went rather smooth. However, my X windows screen flickers. I noticed it did the vesa driver. SO I went out to intel and downloaded the mobile 915 for linux. Followed the install directions. and it spit a couple errors about not succeeding. Nothing useful in the text. My laptop is still in vesa mode. Has anyone

Hi, Since a while I am curious to buy a machine with hardware virtualization support. Finally, they start to become available here in Germany. So, I want to get such a machine. I want to buy a dell inspiron 6400 or an IBM thinkpad T60 which are said to have such a mobile processor with hardware virtualization - does anybody have experiences with these? Looking in the Hardware compatibility

I am going to be setting up an Intel 2200bg card this evening. I was wondering if anyone is using this (successfully) with CentOS 4. The directions look straightforward, but please let me know if you had to do anything interesting/undocumented to make it work. I am also wondering if people are using the driver provided with the current CentOS 4 kernel or if people are using the most recent

Hi, I WAS experiencing a problem while attempting to boot Knoppix V5.0.1 off a USB key using SYSLINUX.

I have a dell inspiron 8200 laptop running centos 4.1 just fine. I want to connect it to an external 32 inch LCD. This laptop is dual boot windows. I set windows up to 1024x768 and connected the LCD - it worked just fine. LCD max is 1333x768 I then booted Centos 4.1 and set X to be 1024x768 also. rebooted the laptop just ot make sure. I then connected the LCD and it says can't display

I believe that ch7006 is the only external encoder that's supposed to work, so you're in luck. It sounds like it passes the nv04_tv_identify stage of nv04_tv_create -- perhaps it fails later? Although based on the prints, it's even doing dpms stuff (but it hits _detect a second time... odd). Try booting with nouveau.debug=debug drm.debug=0xe That should provide a bunch more output as
