my laptop arrived this morning, literally minutes after i checked its status and it was still listed as "Ready to Ship". yay.
i've been trying to get X working right in linux on the new pc. it seems the gatos stuff is what i want to use (with rh9), but something's not detecting my display correctly, and thinks it can only do 1024x768 (it does 1600x1024).
so, i'm going to hard-code that into the driver, but before that i have to build X. which i don't mind all that much, since this is supposed to be a fast box. it's fun to watch 10 file compilations go by before the disk led goes on. at least that's what i tell myself.
this morning i got a phone call from utah. i don't think i know anyone in utah. (i was asleep when they called)
