Fujitsu i-book 4177
500mhx celeron
192mb
4mb ati rage 128

I run win2k and redhat 8 on the hard drive.

I boot with the codes
knoppix fb800x600 xvrefresh=60

Someone asked how to change cursor themes earlier. I made a ~/.icons directory and put the folders of a silver cursor theme in there and it worked fine for that user. Here's the theme I used from kde-look.org

I also had to edit /etc/X11/XSession.d/45xsession and add .icons to the list of inital profiles copied to the $USER's home before x is started for it to work in my remastered cd.

Knoppix 3.2 runs great on Compaq 2811EA.
Some minor problems:
- Xmms freezes. It seems that sound isn't working. But it works on FrozenBubble game.
- Microsoft Explorer mouse work, but it clicks even when i'm not using it. Very strange.
- Touchpad works!

- My cablemodem works!

Try in a console window ps xa | grep arts find the number it returns for the artsd sound daemon and then in the console window kill number_of_process and XMMS should now work.

Toshiba Tecra S1 (centrino)
works fine, find everything, no real problems except wireless, then again, we all know that intel is /supposed/ to come out with drivers for linux for it. pesonally iswitched to knoppix to be able to experience some linux, and wardrive/wep crack with better tools. and was dissapointed the the most nessicary component doens't work. no one's fault (possibly intel's) but i'm gonna go pick up a orinoco gold and external antenna instead.

usb thumb drive to store my home...had some strange issues with it, but reformatting it fixed it(although i lost some config's)

my compaq presario 900 laptop got linux running without a problem.
it was impossible to install redhat but as soon as i tried knoppix everything worked. booting off the cd i had to use the nousb cheat but thats about it.

the only complaint i have is that there is no 3d accelleration for my ati mobility UI vidcard.

I too got Knoppix working with the nousb cheat on my Compaq 900Z - then I actually got the conexant modem working after a hard drive install - no If I could just get 3d acelleration, I'd dump winblows forever! Any ideas when #Da will be available?
