Did you go searching around linux-laptops.net or whatever that domain
name is?

Surely there must be *some* identification somewhere on the laptop...
can you take a picture of it and post it on the web?

Although, that probably wouldn't be needed - it's probably somewhere...

Is there an FCC ID you can look up anywhere on the laptop?

HOLY SHIT, you can do that? i would have figured this shit out a couple of
hours ago. I am not stupid so NO flames on that fact please, just a little
ignorant to how much searching you can do on the 'net. That is brilliant
thank you thank you thank you! THANK YOU!!!!!!

If you still have that DOS partition lying around, dig up one of the
DOS programs from the net that tell you all about your hardware.

There was one called 'sandra', but I can't remember whether it was for
dos or windows.

Another trick for finding out about the innards of a strange box is to
use one of the "live system" available - boot from cd and no harm done
to your hard-drives - but they autodetect most hardware and tell you what
they are doing! You have to be pretty quick to catch some of that info
as it flies by though ;-)

I wonder if it requires a seperate DOS OS or is self-contained like tomsrtbt?

Sandra is for Windows.

But personally I prefer a free product called AIDA32 to analyse
everything about a Windows machine. AIDA32 can output the results as a
HTML document (complete with hyperlinks to manufacturer's home pages).
http://www.aida32.hu/aida32.php. There's even a AIDA16 version for DOS.

You could try pnpdump (and perhaps ls /proc/pci) to find out what
hardware it contains. The monitor will be harder, although Laptop
monitors don't differ that much IME, look up some similar laptops on
goolgle and compare their frequencies. Then pick some conservative
settings based on that.

Found out that my laptop is distributed by infotel, thanks to athlon
rob(kudos),i learned about a tool called msd from plasma online, that pegged
the basics found out it was a C&T video card with 1mg ram. Then i found a
utility from Chips & Tech that found my exact model # for this carda and all
the other cool stuff i wanted(note: these tools are in dos,so.....)XF86Setup
worked like a charm. Now i have to figure out the "slit". anyone know where
the how to for the old blackbox for 4.0 i cant find it .

Good, glad to hear that.

Try the man page (i.e. man blackbox) for more info, but most dockable
applications use the -w option.

If you can't find anything on blackbox look if you can find something
on fluxbox or openbox(2.x, not 3.x) a lot of it should also apply to
blackbox
