Specific installation notes for the ThinkPad 365C, 365CD, 365CS, 365CSD, 365E, 365ED, 365X and 365XD.
General Notes
The ThinkPad 365XD is known to be compatible with Red Hat 6.2, as long as the system has more than 8 megabytes of memory. There is a problem with starting up X; while models of the 365XD with TFT displays were compatible with a number of releases of X, the DTSN models of the 365XD had compatibility problems with certain releases of X, and required complicated startup to make X visible:
- Run
$ startxto start the X server - Hit FnF7 on the keyboard. This may make X visible. If not:
- Exit out of X with CtrlAltBackspace
- Restart X with
$ startx
Releases 3.2 and 3.3.6 of XFree86 are known to be compatible with the 365XD; other releases may not be.
