There is an option for installing laptop and PCMCIA support during the Red Hat install. If you just simply chose the workstation type installation, you might not have got the drivers that you need for your mouse and monitor. I've found that for the most part, if you get a graphic display when you install Red Hat, then your monitor should probably be supported and drivers should be available on the install CD. If you get the text-based install, then you're probably lookin' at installing some additional drivers for your monitor and/or video card. > > Hi Gurus - > > I just installed RH 7.2 on my new Dell Inspiron laptop.
