Hi guys,
 
I recently bought Compaq Presario R3000T notebook and installed Mandrake 10 Official (download version).
It automatically detected the the hardwares, except (1) touchpad (2) sound card, and (3) built-in card reader.
 
I installed tpconfig, shut down X, and run tpconfig, but it said no Synaptics Touchpad or ALPS Glidepad/Stickpointer detected. Maybe the touchpad is not synaptics.
 
I don't know what the sound chip is, but in windows it is "legacy audio".
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thank you,

Hey hrfang,
I was planning on doing the same thing - i was going to buy a compaq presario R3000T laptop and install a dual boot situation with mandrake linux and windows xp. did everything work out with your dual boot installation? did you get all the problems fixed? I was either going to get a compaq R3000T or an hp zx5000 - depending on which ever one would give the least problems when installing a dual boot situation.
