Post #434,380 by Another Scott 6/8/20 8:44:33 PM 6/8/20 8:44:33 PM Reply	Neato. Today I fired up an old Lenovo T61 laptop that I'd installed Linux Mint 13 on (mumble) years ago. I was surprised that I was able to get it going because my last notes were that something was broken with the video drivers, but it is working fine. No obvious issues (except it's running hot). 19.1 is next... Good luck. Cheers, Scott.
