Hi,

the problem I'm encountering running Debian Potato with my IBM
Thinkpad 560. I recently exchanged the laptop's motherboard

The Debian packages _are_ sufficient, or at least
No, that's a different one. www.linux-thinkpad.org is apparently down as I
said in my previous email though. :-) Google may have a cached copy, though.

The link seems not to work, so I left out the "-" in the domain and that
is a valid URL, linuxthinkpad.org. Is it the one you were thinking of?

Hi,
Attached is my latest config file for the dual scan 560. Note
the comments with the JM. It will work as is without flicker,
but FVWM2 will not work correctly. Feel free to switch to
the other modeline to use fvwm but with flicker.
Enjoy and post results,

I can't seem to cook up a working XF86Config for my ThinkPad 560 this time
around.
On prior installs, the Debian install seemed to do this for me but it did not
happen this time and without the specs, I can't seem to be able to do it.

Laptops don't like compressed kernels; I cannot use 'make bzImage' on my

Hi. Here's some info that may help you. Instead of using make zImage try the
following:

rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hdXX
Where XX is the name of your main linux partition. Let me know if that

I have noticed that when I create a boot floppy with "make zdisk"
it will boot, but when using "make bzdisk" it will not. I had to

Hi Marius,
Thanks for the info. It appears you have a VERY old BIOS, as I
downdraded mine recently from the IBM 1.1 system disk (I was
previously using 1.2).

For the past couple days, I've tried everything I could find on

my BIOS to the 1.1 version. I built many kernels, even 2.2.0 on

but my strategy worked.
I have read many pages about XFree86, and the Thinkpad 560, but
I can't get 800x600. I suspect that I must upgrade to a LATER

it, it mentions a note that it doesn't work on 3.3.

Hi,
I just tried everything again from scratch. This time I used
the JVC SCSI CDROM, with the New Media Bus Toaster PCMCIA-SCSI card.
Again, I could not use the CDROM for install. I configured just
about all of the SCSI device drivers, and PCMCIA controller. Now

I have been led to believe that the 'tecra' disks had the kernel
