Re: XFree86 on Thinkpad at 800x600

[dave pratt <djp@futures.bt.co.uk>]

I'd start with:
http://www.pc.ibm.com/support/tpsu.html

There's some other stuff if you start with www.pc.ibm.com and click thinkpads.
I was frustrated to have to create about 10+ floppies and install from them,
and until now I've gone for months with never touching a floppy
(unix/macs/networks=no floppies)

Cheers
