Howdy,

I'm new in the world of antiX, but not in the world of Ubuntu/Debian. I've got 2 old laptops, a Compaq Armada 7400, and a Dell Inspiron 3800. The installation on the Dell went very well, but the Armada wasn't that easy. I had to replace the Armada harddisk in the Dell, and I've installed antiX. I replaced the disk and it booted __{{emoticon}}__

Unfortunately, the screen resolution wasn't detected, so I had to work with 800x600, instead of 1024x768. Now I've made a xorg.conf and it booted in a higher resolution: 1280x1024. But that was not good. I want a 1024x768 screen resolution! The sound doesn't work either...

Any ideas?
Thanks!

The sound works now, in the BIOS there was an option __{{emoticon}}__
