As Matthew Cowger said, you can't use CardBus cards. Is this a separate card? My T22 has an onboard Intel PCI card, and that works fine. There's also no general problem with running X on IBM machines, though that depends on the card. Is this a new or an old machine? IBM had some BIOS problems in the time frame October 2000 to January 2001. This problem causes the self test to hang if it detects any FreeBSD partitions. It has since been fixed, and I believe an upgrade is available. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply.
