Installing Fedora Core 5 on a Compaq nc6120 =========================================== Not working: - LCD screen only at 800x600 instead of 1200x1024 - Wireless network interface rpm --import http://freshrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY-freshrpms rpm -ivh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/5/freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm rpm --import http://dries.studentenweb.org/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY.dries.txt Then look at http://dries.studentenweb.org/rpm/clientconfig.html to enable the Dries repository. From livna: yum install ipw2200-firmware Now the device works but comes up with weird devices names such as dev10405 of dev5410 or similar. To fix this, install the latest version of initscripts which contains fixes for this: sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install initscripts For the LCD, get 915 Resolution http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/ wget http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/915resolution-0.5.2.tar.gz Untar, make and make install it. Then put the following in /etc/init.d/915resolution #!/bin/sh # # chkconfig: 2345 1 99 # description: This sets the LCD screen resolution for Intel 915 [ "$1" = "start" ] && /usr/sbin/915resolution 3c 1400 1050 32 Then execute as root: chmod +x /etc/init.d/915resolution /sbin/chkconfig --add 915resolution Make sure your /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains something similar to: Section "Monitor" ... HorizSync 28-72 VertRefresh 59.0 - 75.0 ... EndSection Section "Device" ... Option "ForceBIOS" "1920x1440=1400x1050" EndSection Section "Screen" ... DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768" EndSubSection ... EndSection That should about do it for now.
