RE: questions about toshiba tecra 8100



Hi Norm,

Would it be possible for you to describe what "tweaking" you did in order to
get X working on the 8100 please?  If possible could you attach the config
file (either privately or to the list).

(I still haven't got it working!).

Many Thanks,
Mike.
