Well, I'm running this at 60Hz and there is no other refreshrate available. Everything is otherwise just great: fonts etc render perfectly and the display is crisp and clear. I'll try to run the configuration agan, but I got to figure out the correct refreshartes first. HP/Compac is not giving very much infromation, though...

 

Thanks for the hints!

One of the coolest things with Debian is apt-get as everyone knows, but for me it's becoming a sweet thing to have.

 

amd64 is turning to be a pain in the you know whooooOO.

 

Atleast with Debian, I've been able to add repo's like:

 

 

deb-src http://apt.cerkinfo.be/ unstable main contrib non-free

 

and rebuild the packages for lame and stuff like that, keep in mind I didn't add the "deb" line because i would get i386 and I want x86_64 packages. (remember 64 is pain)

 

anyway, atleast with just adding the deb-src I can use apt (or wajig) to rebuild packages with x86_64

 

ex.

 

apt-get source -b lame or wajig build lame

 

End result:

 

$ ls ../lame/

lame-3.96.1 lame_3.96.1-0.1.dsc

lame_3.96.1-0.1_amd64.changes lame_3.96.1.orig.tar.gz

lame_3.96.1-0.1_amd64.deb libmp3lame0_3.96.1-0.1_amd64.deb

lame_3.96.1-0.1.diff.gz libmp3lame-dev_3.96.1-0.1_amd64.deb

 

 

 

That goes out, grabs the source for lame from cerkinfo or were ever apt fines the lame package d/l and builds for my arch.

 

:banana:

If you know the specs for your monitor, you can editing the XF86Config-4 file [/etc/X11/XF86Config-4]. I did that because I didi have the same problem. But be carefull so you don't blow up your monitor ;)

Well couldn't help myself. Taking a short break on the laptop with ubuntu to see how FC3 is. Redhat being my first distro I just have to see whats up and new with it.  :D

my experience with ubuntu on my lappy was that it worked partially. display, networking was okay but all usb-devices went crazy. then i installed fedoracore3 and all usb-stuff worked instantly. :)

Tried to install FC3 twice last night and both times failed at CD 3. So I gave up. I think its either a bad burn or crappy cd's. (Durabrand). It took about 45 mins. to get that far. In 45 mins I had my Ubuntu system back to just about where I was when I started the FC 3 install. :cheeky:

 

I'll stay with Ubuntu!!!!!!
