i'm not sure if someone already mentioned this, but: getting fc1 to work on my alienware 51m's wide screen display sucks, it XF86 won't display the 1680x1050 properly, it only does 14??x1050, so everything's warped... i have an ati card, though i've heard that the nvidia's aren't too hard to do... because of this, and the fact that the apm doesn't work properly with fc1, i only use my trusty old dell inspiron 4000 (700mhz 256mb 40gb compared to the alien's 2.8ghz 768mb 40gb) oh, and don't get anything overpowered, you'll just wind up going through your battery's charge like nothing. a pentium-m at 1ghz would do you well, if you're not looking to game. -d Stephane said: > On Thu, 2004-04-22 at 09:37, Ben Steeves wrote: >> On Thu, 2004-04-22 at 10:28, Ross M Karchner wrote: >> > Hello- >> > >> > Can anybody recommend any laptops that work well with FC1?
