I think it was Ray who, some time ago, asked if
anyone has ever got
EMC runing on a laptop. Maybe it was someone else. Anyway, I just recently loaded the ZipEmc distributation, without too much trouble, on my Dell Latitude CPT - S500 which has a Celeron 500, 6 gig hd, and 32 meg of ram. The trouble I ran into was that the version of XFree86 that comes with the ZipEmc disk does not support the Mach 64 Rage video card that is in the latitude. While linux worked fine, X would not come up in anything better than 320 X 200 resolution. I downloaded the new version of XFree86 and installed it without any trouble. Running the X setup program is now pretty painless, You don't even need to answer any questions, It was all automatic. X came up first time in 1024 X 768. Although I have not hooked it to my machine, EMC seems to work fine. Bill |
