Edit:
1/26/06 Updated This Post to fix the 0x370 in use PnP complaint at boot time, now works without complaint.
1/26/06 Also added directions on how to get XFree86 running on this laptop.
Setup your BIOS
F2 at boot to enter bios:
>Advanced-->Integrated Peripherals:
>On-board stereo sound [Enabled]
my working settings are:
I/O Adress: [280H-28FH]
MPU-401 I/O Adress: [330H-333H]
INterrupt: [IRQ5]
DMA Channel: [DMA CH0]
WAVE 2 DMA: [DMA CH1]
Joystick: [Enabled]
Boot from DSL linux CD
>dsl 2 vga=788
>cfdisk
>hda1 bootable primary 60mb
>hda5 logical all but 518mb of your hdd
>hda6 logical 518mb
when formatting your boot and persistent home, opt partitions if you would like ext3 filesystem then BEFORE you run the frugal_install.sh then issue these commands. Later when asked if you'd like to format the install partition y or upgrade n? Choose N
>mke2fs -j /dev/hda1 remove the -j if you would like standard ext2 fs
>mke2fs -j /dev/hda5 (or whatever your persistent partition is called)
>mkeswap /dev/hda6 (or whatever your swap partition is called)
>swapon /dev/hda6 (or whatever your swap partition is called)
Frugal Install
Following these directions and being sure to make opt and home persistent on hda5 or wherever you put your persistent partition and making sure your swap partition is on the edge of the drive some people put it at hda1 do as you see fit as long as you have one its all bout the same.

Setup your Xserver
xsetup.sh will likely run on your first boot, if it does not, then reboot with CD
>dsl vga=788 xsetup
>xfbdev xserver
>USB mouse? y/n if <No> then IMPS/2 mouse <Yes>
>us <Ok>
Setup Xfree86
At the desktop click on myDSL then click on System scroll down to the bottom of the list and click on XFree86.dsl.info and then Download
then
click on System scroll down to the bottom of the list and click on xf86config.dsl.info and then Download
Now Jump back out and Read My post in this Thread with XFree86 as my Xserver MUCH smoother! at the top of the page and then read the follow up post in this thread with Saving and Booting Your XFree86 Settings at the top of the page.
Setup your Sound
At the Desktop click the Emelfm icon.
>navigate to /mnt/hda5/opt
>select bootlocal.sh <R>click-->User-->View in Beaver
>add this to your bootlocal.sh:
sudo modprobe opl3sa2 isapnp=0 multiple=0 io=0x370 mpu_io=0x330 mss_io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1
>save
>exit
Now either run the modprobe line from a terminal as SU or reboot the system, sound and video display should now be working.
Notes and Requests
If i missed anything let me know and I'll gladly append anything that seems needful. This is not a comprehensive setup only what worked for me and even then its only a very base install. You may have wifi cards, modems, nic's, or various other add on pieces, as of this writing I have found no way to get zoom video working under any linux distro, if anyone has or knows of a resource please link it up as I'd love to get that going on there as well, I do own the KingMax ZV Card. And share any success stories that this post lead you to.
Enjoy.
