so why not calling it i830 in XF86Config-4?

If not, it might be the screen itself. of course I use native resolution. and I'm not saying that my problem is related to the xfree module. it may sound quite vague but the tft issues I'm talking about are: - colors are not natural at all - and detail of my pictures is really poor (compared to the 17" tft I use in my desktop) - my major regret is that I can't tweak any display setting as I could in the other TFT disply, and try to fix things up is there some tool to tweak brightness/color/contrast/ecc. for a laptop's tft? thanks. -- Leonardo Canducci -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
