Does XFree86 4.2 exist yet? Or are you referring to 4.1.99? In related news, I had to reinstall my OS last night. Apparently,my kernel recompile at the end of the day monkeyed my networking. Fortunately, I was able to reapply everything I was taught yesterday. So I have XFree86 4.0.1 running in the frame buffer with hotswap working for my USB mouse. Today, I decided to tackle DVD. I tried Ogle DVD (http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/) and it works great on my desktop machine (MDK 8.1, Athlon 1GHz, GeForce 2) and my laptop (MDK 8.1, Pentium III 1GHz, Radeon Mobility). I'm still forced to run X in the frame buffer, unfortunately, but the machine is apparently fast enough to still play DVDs well. - Jared On Sunday 09 December 2001 11:47 am, you wrote: > On Sun, Dec 09, 2001 at 09:43:14AM -0600, Carl Wilhelm Soderstrom wrote: > > one of those things; since IBM doesn't sell except over the web anymore. > > :( > > > > tell us if you get the radeon driver to work with it.

Unless I can snag a T21 for cheap on ebay.
