Hi! new to Linux, I want to install it on my laptop, a Toshiba Satellite 1900-101. Hardware under: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/product_page.jsp?z=78&PRODUCT_ID=15134 can anyone tell how compatible my hardware is with Fedora CORE 3? I really want to leave windows (ja! I feel like Im getting a divorce, for good!!) but Im still a little afraid it will be painful =/ If I need any extra drivers, I would like to download them in advance. Besides, I use an external TDSL Modem (I dont have the model with me) and an external keyboard/mouse (although, those are not a big deal). Any good or bad news are really welcome. Any email private email to yarayara@gmx.de Thanks!

Well, just in case any newbee like myself has a similar problem with the video display, i just change the monitor configuration to a 1024x768 generic LCD display and it work out. Gruss!

Hi, I just installed FC3 in my laptop http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/product_page.jsp?z=78&PRODUCT_ID=15134 For graphics, it uses this: manufacturer : ATI type : ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON™ memory amount : unshared 16 MB memory type : DDR Video RAM graphics accelerator : 64 bit bus clock speed : 166 MHz 2D graphics accelerator : Yes 3D graphics accelerator : Yes open GL support : Yes direct 3D support : Yes motion compensation : Yes integrated TV encoder : Yes reduce TV out flicker : Yes multiple display support : Yes triangle setup : Yes connected bus : AGP bus and my problem is I cant make it work to 1024*768 I havent found any driver. Any news on this topic?? Thanks!

Hi, everything went ok. I get rid off my windows and install Linux Fedora Core 3; except that I cant make the display work @ 1024x768, but lower. I was happy that I could go online, that the sound work ok, etc... What driver do i need now?? I couldnt find anything for the ATI MOBILITY RADEON. There was nothing on the Toshiba list either. Any help is welcome! Gruss, -yarayara
