I agree with the no cost thing, though since I was in high school at the
time I bought my A21p (used on eBay cause it was cheap and I wanted a
laptop), I figured a $20 network card to get it all working was worth
it. Hopefully a Marvell driver will come soon so you can use wireless
on your laptop,
Got my A21p running 8.10 fine, though I had to jump through quite a few
hoops to fix it. First, I had to reinstall 8.04 (the original bug for
this thread was under 8.04). It still had the issues, but I could use
Screens And Graphics in 8.04 and got a working xorg.conf after using it.
I then saved
Here's my working xorg.conf for A21p (ATi Mobility Rage 128 M3,
1600x1200 LCD). It was made by Screens and Graphics in 8.04 but also
works in 8.10, which I am using now.

[intrepid] Ubuntu 8.10 will not boot
In response to Socrates470BC:
"Using Ubuntu 8.10, all I can get is the following is a bunch of error
messages. See Picture at:
http://www.ratingsworld.co.uk/public/Ubuntu4.jpg";
What kind of networking card does your A21p have? They had a few
different versions (all of which are miniPCI cards).
Disregard the first xorg.conf, this one supports OpenGL acceleration
(can only use 16 bit color if you want accelerated 3d though, so this
one will only use 16 bit color).

[intrepid] Ubuntu 8.10 will not boot
Just look at the back of your A21p. Is there a cover over the Ethernet
port? If there is, you have the modem only card, if not, you have the
full combo card.
8.04 and 8.10 both have Linux drivers (not having to use Windows ones)
for most network cards (WiFi). Plug in your card and go to System-
Does the Ethernet part of the combo card work (can you connect if you
plug your ThinkPad [running Ubuntu] into the network?) If it does, you

Hmm...that may be more of an issue than I thought. The W511v2

not be a native Linux driver. I know Broadcom and Intel chipsets work
