Well,
I figured it must be a video card problem. Installed VL 4 Soho RC1 on a
PIII-500 with a nvidia 16mb AGP card. Running at 1200x1600 everything
looks fine. I think it is hardware related on the neomagic video on the laptop.
If anyone has any ideas let me know.
Is there a list somewhere that tells you what the different options are
for the video card in the X config file?
1. This is a long shot, but it may be worth the effort. EmperorLinux.com
has provided pre-installed Linux laptops since 1999. Perhaps someone at the
company would give you information about setting up fonts on Neomagic
chipsets. They must have some expertise. I know that various IBM Thinkpads
used Neomagic chipsets.

3. You might want to try a regular Slackware, Debian, Mandrake or Fedora
install. How does Knoppix or Damn Small Linux handle the laptop? Can you
get a decent XF86 config from one of them? Or, use one of them instead of VL?
