Welp, I finally got almost all squared away... or so I think. I just have some minor questions.
Here is my system:
pentium m 730 @ 1.6
512mb pc2700
integrated intel video
I am having a hard time installing the intel video drivers for linux; I downloaded them, unpacked them, read the readme file, but I get errors while giving the commands; for example:
In the instructions, it says to run:
rpm -i dri-I915-v1.1-20041217.i386.rpm
I do so, but then it returns:
bash: rpm: command not found
So I cannot install the drivers.. I think because of this, I am stuck @ 1024x768 resolution and "0" Hz refreshh rate... wierd. I hope a driver install will let me change the resolutions because the native res of my lcd is 1280*768.
I would also like to be able to have 1280*1024 displayed on my crt monitor that is attached to the lappy. I was able to do this under windows, and I am sure there is a way to do so here.
That;'s all I can think of for now, if I left any info out, let me know. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
