+ The TP750 uses the Western Digital video chip. I can find out more
+ info on it. I'll foward you message to my mailing list group and
+ hopefully more answers will generate. I'll report back to you on
+ the progress.
Xfree doesn't run on the LCD version of the Western Digital chip
(wd90c2?) yet, if that's what they are using. At least the auto
probe couldn't determine the chip type.
+ Come to think of it, would you like to join the mailing list? We
+ could really use a technical person like you. We have quite a few
+ users trying to get Linux to run. Keith Moore has done quite a hack
+ job to Linux and apparently has it running.
What mailing list is this ? I'm not much of a Linux user, i.e. most
of my backgroound is BSD derived Unixes, but I'm interested in Unix
on notebooks (not necessarily Intel compat.) in general.

True. If it were up to me, I would like to support "Open" hardware rather
than hardware that you have to sign non-disclosure agreements to find
out how to program it.
+ You're gonna be delighted to hear then that OS/2 does have all that
+ you look for. TCP/IP and the X-Window client (and maybe the X-Window
+ server) are all available for OS/2 via IBM. GNU has two different
+ compilers out for OS/2 available via FTP from ftp-os2.cdrom.com.
I may have to look into it then. Thanks for the info..
See ya, -ingo
