Linux (Fedora Core 2) on the Averatec 3120V
The Laptop
Cheap, very cheap, with a super-irritating space bar
Unlike when installing Fedora Core 1 on this machine, I had no
problems with lock-ups and white screens of death. There was no need
to specify the kernel options "nopcmcia nofb" at boot.
xorg.conf
Again, this machine wants to run at 800x600 (because accept silly
default unprobed screen during installation), so:
-
1) change lines in
Monitor section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf from
HorizSync 31.5 - whatever
VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0
to
HorizSync 31.5 - 50.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0
- 2) change modes line in
screen section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf from
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
to
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
