Sorry Kero, I sort of assumed on a laptop list that you would expect it to be an lcd. and yes, I think suddenly, as in I noticed it once it was there. Until I bring up the X-window manager - i.e. at the just booted stage, the screen is black with whitish words on it. I was unable to find anything which would tell me what those speeds were supposed to be set at; most people simply seemed to copy what someone else had done, and I found only one who reported what he did with a 1024x768 screen. clare -- Clare Johnstone, University Communications Services, The University of Western Australia, Nedlands, 6907 Tel +61 8 9380 2607, Fax +61 8 9380 1109, Internet [EMAIL PROTECTED]
