Question Will Mandriva support a laptop with 15.4" WXGA brightview on a ATI Radeon 128 xpress


Hi,

I am thinking of buying an HP zv6000 laptop with the following configuration:

AMD Athlon 64 3200 2 GHz
15.4 WXGA brightview
ATI Radeon 128 xpress 200M w/hypermem
100Gb HDU 4200 rpm
1Gb RAM 2 Dimms
54g(TM) Integ. Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN & Bluetooth
XP home

I am worried about the widescreen monitor and the 1200 x 800 resolution. Will Mandriva detect that properly?

As far as I know it shouldn't have any problem but you could check the HCL on this website to see if any of it is listed. Your 64bit processor will need the 64bit version of Mandriva to make use of it. The most recent version of Mandriva has a lot better support for laptops, bluetooth etc.

The latest mandriva 2006 beta version detects the card and sets it up to 1280x800 32 bit resolution.
