I also believe that you need to say yes to Graphic Support -> Console Display Driver Support -> VGA text console. If this doesn't work, I have config (Evo-N1000v.config) for my laptop at http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio/Compaq/Kernel/Kernel-2.5/ You could start from that one. It might be simpler. Synaptics: For those of you having trouble with the touchpad, look at point 4 and 5 in the file readme.txt available from the above link. Then have a look at my XF86Config-2.5.x. USB: To get usb-hotplug running I had to do a couple of small changes to rc.sysinit. Do a search for the string kv. It's a short for kernelversion and you'll find my changes. At least my usb-mouse now works. Other ub-devices?
