Comment:
I have an IBM pc300gl 6286 with a ps2 mouse and keyboard, a 3com 3c509 etherlink III network card, and a Cirrus Logic GD-5436/46 VGA video card. It has a 200mhz P2 processor, 48mb ram, and a 2.5g and 1.6g hard drive. I installed Win98 on the first hard drive then BeOS PE in its 500mb partition. I used the BeTip to install beos to the second hard drive so now it has a 1.6g partition instead of a .5g partition. First thing I noticed was that everything was being displayed at a 640x480x1 resolution which really sucks. I tried the VesaAccepted program on bebits and that doesn't work. The next thing i noticed was that the NumLock on my keyboard is lighted but the keyboard doesn't work. It is a ps2 keyboard and it works fine in the be boot manager but after the little icons start turning white the keyboard stops working. I've tried switching keyboards that i know work on other machines and on linux and windows on this machine. I tried disabling the CDD (I can't disable USB) and I tried updating the bios but the bios updater is screwed up and I e-mailed IBM about that. The last problem I've found is my Etherlink III card (uses the 3c509 driver on windows & linux) doesn't work either. I tried playing around with it (you can't do much playing without a keyboard) and I can't get that to work. So to recap: 1) Cirrus Logic video card doesn't work 2) ps2 keyboard doesn't work 3) Etherlink III (3c509) nic doesn't work
