Quote from Jakg :

eee 1008 is *exactly* the same performance as the 1005 with a slightly faster CPU (sub-4% improvement).

BF2 = Battlefield 2

My netbook is a Compaq CQ311C-1030SA - I would say the Samsung N510 is better though, I only got this because it was cheap with a WWAN card in it.

If you buy a netbook, even one with an ION, you will be dissapointed for playing games on unless you need a long battery life & portability, and are willing to make sacrifices to get that...

Thank you. I don't want it just for LFS but it would be nice to be able to run it.

Just a general netbook question. Do they run well and can they handle simple multitasking. ie; Web and iTunes?

Quote from Jakg :

I doubt it - netbooks aren't that bad (typing from mine atm), but the key slow-point is the CPU - whereas LFS needs a fast CPU to run well.

For comparison, my netbook runs BF2 on low at 1366*768, and that has an Atom N270, nVidia ION GPU (9400m) and 3GB of RAM.

EDIT - Asus eee 1005 - Intel onboard GPU. No chance of playing any games on it.

What netbook are you using? And what is BF2?

Woops I posted the wrong link. :doh: Even though I am not sure it will make a difference?

I am thinking about buying a netbook so I can hook it up to my lcd tv in my room. I mainly want it for surfing the web, iTunes, and of course LFS. Will this netbook run lfs decently? I don't care if it has to be on the lowest graphics setting I just want it to run smoothly. Also I am going to upgrade the ram to 2gb total.

I have read every thread about this, watched Youtube vids, and done a million google searches but I still can't figure this out. I have the file named correctly XFG_KENBLOCK and I have tried the new color in game but nothing is working. The other thing I noticed was I have 2 LFS main folders. One is 1.6GB and the other is only 4mb. But they both have the same folders. Any help would be great.

Thanks, Tyler

Just got banned for no reason. The reason says, "no clue". I didn't do anything wrong.

So pretty much any pc wheel will work? Also I have been seeing alot of MOMO wheels on ebay. Are these any good?

I know that but I need to know what brand/model to get.

I have pretty much given up on trying to get the adapter and ps2 wheel to work in lfs. I have tried everything. I need something that is no more the $50. I don't need anything expensive, just need somthing that will get me around the track.

Thanks, Tyler

I set it to the least amount and it still goes to full lock. Hmm...

The wheel menu doesn't come up when it is plugged in to the computer but it does when plugged in to ps2. I ll change it on ps2 and then hook it up on the computer.

There were drivers for the converter thing
there were not any for the wheel.

Yes there is a button that says dual analog. I am running the latest virsion of LFS. The wheel is a Mad Catz MC2.

Here is a link to the adapter.

I bought a wheel for my ps2 like 5 years ago. I bought a PS2 to USB connector off ebay so I could use the wheel for LFS. When I go in to lfs and try to set it up, nothing responds if I hit the buttons on the wheel or the pedals. If I hit the "set up" button on the wheel it will go from full left on the bottom of the screen to full right. Any idea on how to set it up? I have read though the lfs manual but it didn't help.

Thanks, Tyler
