I have the same problem as you do. I also have a T42 and I am runnig FC1. I also went to display configuration trying to fix it. However, I left my display configuration at VESA because the T42 has an "ATI Mobility Radeon 9600". I am assuming that the difference is the "Mobility". So, I tried to find a driver that I can install and then configure but I could not find it. I tried going to ATI but there was not enough information about the driver. So, for now I am sticking with VESA until I can find a better option. However, if anybody else has a solution, I am willing to try it. --Xavier On Mon, 11 Oct 2004 13:34:30 -0400, Rithin Shetty <rithin@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > I'm running Fedora core 2 on my IBM Thinkpad T42 for quite > sometime now.
