Thinkpads seem to be quite nasty for this - they're very nice boxes, but not quite standard enough to work without hassle. You might want to take a look at the debian-laptop archives for more information and possibly ask for assistance there. With bog standard desktop hardware it's very much simpler (unless you have a very new graphics card, which none of my machines do) - pretty much everything on my boxes apart from sound worked as soon as the install was done. -- Mark Brown mailto:broonie@tardis.ed.ac.uk (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
