scarecrow Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 anyway, acer is not good choice for linux users. My Travelmate 291 LMi is defective then... everything works perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mdkfan Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 well, my Travelmate 4150NLCi does not work with Mdk " 10.2 ' 10.1 , Suse 9.3 pro , ubuntu , Fedora core 4 and knoppix 3.7” . Unsolvable issues till now I am trying to install mdk 10.2, 2005 LE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 In the above case, I guess 915 is/was too new a chipset for Mandy 10.0's kernel. Can you try a newer Mandriva edition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 LE2005 should be fine for that type of machine, with I915 support. There is a dri-I915.....rpm available from Intel's website, which I had to use with MDK 10.1 Official on my laptop, even though mine is an I810 based adapter. But you shouldn't have to do this with LE2005 unless really necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the prompt command press F2 . then type the following command : "alt0" for 2.6 kernel or "alt1" for 2.4 kernel , This will detect ur CDROM. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
