could you suggest a v3.0 kernel distro, I have only come across one so far but had no X
I have tried both 32 & 64-bit versions, both with the same result
I will give the 2.6.39.2 kernel update a try and report back.
Thanks so far.
Vectis.

Parted Magic should be ok (and has 3.0 kernel):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/partedm ... o/download
let me know if that worked for you
EDIT:\\
seems that i have found a temporary workaround:

Code: Select all
solved by adding a /etc/rc.local
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=00
To adjust the brightness to add to the kernel line:
acpi_osi=Linux
try that

Good for you.
Usually Intel components are readily accepted with the linux kernel .

I agree with francois
Normally, Intel hardwares works without problems with Linux Kernel.

So,may we conclude that you now work with Porteus?

Yes. I enjoyed using Slax for many years but as development seems to have stopped, I think it is time to move on.

It was my conclusion too.
