Thanks, good to know. This means that if I choose a laptop with NVS 5200M, I will have video. I would prefer nouveau (emacs bug with nvidia). I would still prefer the intel 4000 soln as I can get a smaller machine. But I worry that the intel might not drive my hi-res external monitor with its 2560x1600 resolution > Good luck, > Mark I may need it. Thanks again. allan
