I just needed to modify /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia. Now I'm good there and my wireless pcmcia is now working. I still can't play DVD's with sound using mplayer however, but AVIs still work ok. Maybe it's an alsa problem? If anyone could...

I can't get my pcmcia working and I have a sager 8887. I just installed Mandrake 9.1 rc2 with "noauto" option to keep from locking up. I just did a normal install then selected some packages I wanted. The system dual boots XP...

Nice to see that enough people are willing to speak up about it. I think the 8887 will kick ass, and I'm salivating to get that 16.1" screen too...mmmmm. I'll probably use this opportunity to try different distributions, and...

I just ordered an 8887 and I was curious, after reading many of the other posts, what is the most popular/used distro on the 8887 notebooks. I plan on running RH 8.1 on this machine + XF86 4.3. I wouldn't mind writing a general Linux...
