No, boys, thank you for the effort, but both point me to the resolution problem that we had earlier; for earlier BIOSes. This one has been solved by the later BIOSes: (cited from http://www.chzsoft.com.ar/855patch.html) "Some of these computers don't allocate enough video memory so that XFree86 is only able to run at low resolutions and/or color depths (e.g. 640x480x16bit). [...] Some newer models with 855GM chipset (e.g. Dell Inspiron 510m and Dell Latitude D505) have an updated BIOS which is able to set the memory size by itself, thus making 855patch obsolete on these systems. Unfortunately the BIOS introduces a new bug causing XFree86 to freeze (with a green screen) when using the i810 driver." On the D400 with BIOS > A05 - like mine ! - we do not need the 855*patch*, but the 855*wrap* from said site. So I'm stuck without X on a notebook; not convincing ! Thanks anyway, Uwe
