   Worked fine on my Libretto 50.

   Caveat: The Libretto 50 requires at least the amount of memory in the machine
   as empty space at the end of the disk; this space must be *completely
   unallocated in the fdisk partition table*.  This required me to repartition
   and reinstall after I upgraded my machine from 16MB to 32MB.  I recommend
   simply setting aside enough cylinders at the end of the disk to handle the
   maximum amount of memory the machine can hold, when you originally install.

   Caveat #2: the Libretto 110 probably has a video chip which will require
   a commercial X server (various Linux/FreBSD binary-only ones work) to
   work well.  At least I believe that was true of the 100.  My Libretto 50
   uses a fairly commonplace CT65554, so this was not an issue.


According to the specs on the Toshiba site, it has a Neomagic 2160.  The
current XFree source would seem to support it in for that chip.  The 100CT
is listed among the machines that X server works on and the 100CT is
suppose to have the same video as the 110CT.

In any case, I was unable to actually touch one in my wondering about this
evening.  Thanks for the information.
