Re: XFree86 on Thinkpad at 800x600

[Rick Tait <rickt@gnu.ai.mit.edu>]

OK. I have two Thinkpads, a 755CX and a 760CD. I can't seem to find my 
original Utility disks, so does anyone know where I can find the 
uttp*.exe files from the IBM web site for my 755CX so I can run the ps2
program?

Thanks,
