Fedora FC2-T1 on NC8000 or NW8000

["Aldert E. van der Laan" <aldert vdlaan yi org>]

Hello group,

 

 

I will be trying to get Fedora to run properly, that is with as much functionallity as possible, on either laptop.

So far I have been trying the NC8000 because I have not received the NW8000 yet.

 

The NC8000 will only display VESA and will not accept the ATI Radeon drivers from XFree86. I have not tested the ATI drivers from the website yet.

 

I am trying to find any information but it seems this is not a laptop that has been tested by anyone yet.  So  I will keep muttering and testing to see if I can get this thing going, I am actually more interested in the NW8000 but I will have to wait about 7 bizz days before it will arrive.

 

In our small IT group I have found two people interested in running Fedora as a test providing I will come with some sort of installation manual for them.

 

Is there anyone out here that is doing the same stuff as us and is willing to exchange their experiences?

 

Regards,
