Happily I report that Slackware, with the 1.2.4 kernel, runs like a Porsche on a dx4 100 with a color LCD (512k WD90C24 video card). Ain't it a pleasure to be able to code on the wy to/from TA/J-m ! If anyone has difficulties with notebooks, give me a call. I had quite some schooling with the internals this past days... --izar
