RE: Linrad on Dell laptops

["SHOAF,DAVID (HP-Cupertino,ex1)" <david.shoaf@xxxxxxxxxx]

That's exactly the symptoms I am seeing with W6WO's Dell as well as my own
HP E-pc - now about 4 years old.  Neither have expandable slots for
alternate video cards to get into svgalib's supported chip sets with that
approach.

Ron, let's get our heads together and see if there's another way to get to
linrad nirvana....perhaps an older system that we could put a video board
and sound card into.  For those on the reflector, what is everyone using for
both sound card and video card and what's a reasonable motherboard speed to
consider?

Cheers,

David/KG6IRW

As I bought the laptop for the express purpose of running linrad this 
is a serious blow. I will try to find an answer in the svgalib 
developer community but wanted to post this to alert others and at 
the same time to ask if any Dell -linrad users have come up with a 
solution
