[tlinux-users:07427] Re: Fedora Core 4 into Satellite M55-SP325, drivers for "video card"

I've recently installed an intel 915 on a toshiba m40x-234 running fedora
core 3 (kernel 2.12)

The following links will be useful:

Update your kernel and xorg-x11, then install the last snapshot for your
video card from http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/

Pay attention to the LCD screen configuration and the vbios 'hack'
http://z63a.koneko.org/fc4-z63a.html

Good luck
