Hi There !!!

I'm a bit new to unix. I propgrammed a CD with V3.1-2003-01-01-EN.

It seems to work fine on my desktop (pentium III on generic motherboard)

However, when I try to boot on my laptop, a Sony Vaio XG18 (pentium III and 256Mb) I get a weird cursor (square and looks like a picket fence)

I have tried the knoppix pci=irqmask=0x0e98, with the result of having no mouse and cursor.

Please is anyone out there with a similar notebook who solved this problem or any other ideas ???

Very much appreciated, KLAUS

I'm taking a LINUX admin class at the time and hopefully I will be able to understand a bit more in a few weeks.
