[ltp] Accessing >8GB on 600E

Tue, 22 Feb 2000 15:53:46 +0100

Hi Folks,
I agree with Heiko,
I had problems to even install RedHat 6.1 on TP 770ED (9549-5A0). After I
downloaded RH 6.2 Beta, I was successfull to set up everything, including X, BUT
-

The screen in X (KDE) flickers, so that a longer work is impossible. The setup
detected the Trident Cyber adapter and installed the SVGA x server.

Could anyone help please? I'm an newbie with plans to study documentation under
X and try to understand how things work. The first thing I need is a
non-flickering screen.

Thanks in advance for any help from you guys

Stefan

Hi,

i have used the same Method for Redhat 6.1, but everything gets better.
;-)) After crashing my Linux (do not ask why), i have installed Redhat 6.2
beta , with a 2.2.15 Kernel (yes, it is a 2.2.15) and the Installer gets
all the values korrekt ... I have also noticed that other recent
Distributions with Kernels above 2.2.13 , recognize the HD korrekt.
Redhat 6.2 is a fine distribution .... Everything works out of the box,
Pcmcia, APM, X, Irda ..... It should be a pretty cool Distri for the
Thinkpad ...

...Heiko
