Has anyone ever installed FreeBSD on a WinBook laptop? If so, did you get XFree86 configured ok? I have been trying to configure X on my friend's WinBook for the past wo days and I haven't had much luck mostly due (I think) to my lack of knowledge about the WinBook monitor specs (refresh rates, etc.). I have looked on the web for informatino about this machine but to no avail. It seems that no matter what I do, I can't get the screen to display stuff properly--everything comes up on the screen some funky shape or shifted too far to one side or something like that...I am convinced it is bcause I am not choosing the corect settings for the WinBook's monitor but, like I said, I am having a heck of a time finding info like refresh rates, etc . So, if anyone out there has had expieriece installing FreeBSD on a WinBook or knows something about where I can get specs on the WinBook I would appreciate it if you could drop me a line. Thanks, Jesse Troy jtroy@vt.edu hmmmm...I wonder if its against the law to install FreeBSD on a computer called 'Win'Book... :-)
