Help needed on HP OmniBook 5700 (X-windows)



Hello,
	I have recently got a copy of Redhat Linux Intel version 4.2
CDROM. I had no problem installing it on my old desktop PC. However, I
have big problems installing it on a laptop (HP omnibook 5700 CTX).  I
was able to install the file system and login without
X-windows. However, I could not make X-windows and Trackpoint pointing
device to work. (The monitor seems to hang after I issue 'startx').

	One possible cause I suspect is that I don't have the right
videocard driver. HP omnibook 5700 CTX sports a Chips & Technologies'
65554 64-bit graphics accelerator which is not listed in the Redhat
when I tried 'configX'. I checked out some web-sites and I found no
information on Linux's support on HP omnibook 5700 CTX. So I'd very
much appreciate if someone has successfully installed Linux on HP
omnibook 5700 CTX to tell me some detailed experience of getting it to
work. 
	I am a new subscriber to this mailing-list. I'd appreciate if
you can steer me to the right mailing-list/newsgroup if this mailing
list is not an appropriate forum for my question. Thanks in advance

Sincerely,

David
