That logo is 640x400 and only 16 colors which is the same as 4 bit I believe.

Well it does not look good... :(  Would I run into the same problems if I were to try another distro such as Tiny Linux? I suppose that I would. Also, I am going to have to research the video display on the IBM site. It is not easy because their site search engine brings up everything except what you want to know.. :)

I noticed on another post on this message board that someone succeeded with Slackware 9.1, I think it was with a 350 model.  

Thanks for your help.  :)

After searching the net I found a PDF document containing all of the withdrawn laptops, and there was mine.  :)  This would explain the lack of support on their site.

It would seem that the graphic card is a:
Controller: WD90C24A Rev C with 1 MB DRAM
Vendor: Western Digital / External SVGA to 1024 x 768 with 256 colors (up to 60 Hz)
Arch/Data Path: VL-Bus local bus / 32 bit / Simultaneous LCD and CRT

And the display is:
Type: VGA color / 640 x 480
Colors: 256 simultaneous colors
Technology: Black Matrix TFT - active matrix
Diagnle Size: 10.4 inch
Contrast Ratio: 100 to 1 Yes

Hopefully this will help out in this quest.  :)

After looking around in the XF86 docs I found that the driver that I would need would either be the vga generic driver or XF86_SVGA. However, I am really not sure how to go about applying this driver.  ???
