Be very carefull. I killed the first display of my laptop exactly that way. No reply from the vendor too, so still no X. SVGAText package has a utility in the source package to read the graphic chip registers under DOS. I don't know whether this works under Win. Try the linux-laptop http: site. They have a long list of laptops and evtly. an X setup for that model. martin
