I tried Slitaz cooking on my Acer Travelmate c100, but after a while the boot process ended in a blank screen. I suspect that the Silicon Motion SM720 Lynx 3DM Graphics Adapter is not supported. Is there a way to make it work?
Thanks

I found the information needed to compile from the "T2" package on slitaz, but every time I compile the driver, I either get errors, or it goes all the way through successfully, but says something like no monitors found using Xorg -configure
The packages needed to compile the driver are:
bash
binutils
bzip2
coreutils
diffutils
findutils
fontsproto
gawk
gcc
glibc
grep
linux-header
make
mktemp
net-tools
pkgconfig
randrproto
renderproto
sed
sysfiles
tar
util-linux
videoproto
xextproto
xorg-server
xprotoThe SiliconMotion source code is located at:
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/driver/
then scroll down until you see ...xf86-video-siliconmotion-x.x.x.x.tar.bz2Good luck!
