Since you're using the vesa driver, it means that the VESA BIOS on your laptop is broken. Check for updates on Lenovo's web site. > > 2) ATI adapter is not recognized.

Lenovo should provide a bios with resolutions matching the physical size of the screen. Try using i915resolution from ports. It has been reported to work with other BIOSes too. > > 3) The keyboard has a couple of 'dead' keys near cursor keys which are > Alt-left and Alt-right in windows.
