Re: Linux on the 701

[eyrich@zedat.fu-berlin.de (Christoph Eyrich)]

This is a working XF86Config for the 701. I got it somewhere on
the net but I can't remember where. There used to be a 701
page but. unfortunately, there is no link in the official
linux on laptops page:

You might have to change the pointer section, that is, the
information in 'device': /dev/pcaux0. I changed it to
/dev/mouse and everything worked fine.

Good luck
