Installed from a USB...thanks Cleve.

Did all the updates....means clicking a couple things.

Loaded xinput-calibrator from synaptic package manager.

For calibration from terminal:
That's it.

So Mint 17.1 gets a /\ (thumbs up) for the MK2. Mark 1 and 3 will have screen flicker. CF-29 MK4 and 5 should me fine. (because they are PAE) Install in MK4 or 5 and it will run in MK 1-3. (a little laggy)

Thanks,

Jeff

I put it on a CF-48,ran pretty good. It will install on non pae machines.I think I tried it on a CF-71 also.

I need more info to keep from looking like an idiot.

Did you install Mint 17.1 or Mint 17.1 non-pae? IOW if you have time give me the specific version. I know it's a pita but I need specifics if you have time.

Thanks Kerry.

J'd...two "if you have time" in the same paragraph...

No problem,I'll have the info asap.

Mint 17.1 Rebecca,it runs great on a CF-51LCMDDBM,that's what I had it on. Is running now on a CF-50JAKUJKM but cinnamon is crashing. I used the drive from the 51 and booted the 48,can't get the DVD drive to run the disc. It works but any task window you open is black,the mint 17 desktop is fine.

I have 17.1 with the Mate desktop I'm going to try. Say a prayer....

Mint 17.1 Mate on a CF-50.....nice.

From Right to Left...have not tried her yet...

Too bad someone doesn't need a FCSAAAM with 390 hours. Presently running Linux LMDE 17.0. Vista and W7 available.

The Mark 2 are the ones with no screen flicker. Just saying.

Probably be 400 actual hours when I am done here.

That's like brand new!
Model Number: CF-30FCSAAAM MSRP: $5,099
Description: WinXP (Vista COA), Intel Core 2 Duo L7500 1.60GHz (Centrino), 13.3" XGA Touch, 80GB, 1GB, Intel 802.11a/b/g, TPM1.2, Bluetooth, Sprint EVDO Rev A, Dual Pass (Upper:WWAN/Lower:WLAN), Emissive Backlit Keyboard
The nicest thing about the MK2's is that Windows 7 and Linux run very nicely. Someone's going to get a very, very nice machine.

That's a nice one,I have a 300 hour Mk3. The market on CF-30's has really went to blazes in the past few months,I see you didn't get washed away in the rain Jeff. Holy cow!
