[aclug-L] Fw: toshiba satellite T1960CS + linux

["Michael Holmes" <maholmes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have emailed him a copy of my /etc/XF86Config file, it should run his, as
it is the same video card and display, I do not know why he cannot get his
floppy drive to boot the linux, he can boot a windoz disk, and it will not
boot a linux disk.  He only has a 320 meg and the xwin may be crashing from
crowding the swap space, as he is running peanut linux.
