Installation instructions for the ThinkPad 365
Specific installation notes for the ThinkPad 365XD.
General Notes
The ThinkPad 365XD is known to be compatible with RedHat 6.2, as long as the system has more than 8 megabytes of memory. There is a problem with starting up X; while models of the 365XD with TFT displays were compatible with a number of releases of X, the DTSN models of the 365XD had compatibility problems with certain releases of X, and required complicated startup to make X visible:
- Type in startx to start the X server
- Hit Fn + F7 on the keyboard. This may make X visible. If not:
- Exit out of X with CNTL + ALT + F1
- Hit CNTL + C to stop the X server
- Restart X with startx
Releases 3.2 and 3.3.6 of XFree86 are known to be compatible with the 365XD; other releases may not be.
