Good for you, MoLE, If you save the document as a JPEG you can alter it in GIMP. If you do not know how to do that nor want to learn Scribus, the easiest solution is to contact the author (you will have to send him a copy anyway). Send your request with details of what changes you need to tord.j

No extra drivers/changes to xorg should be needed - intel graphics should work 'out-of-the-box'. In fact you can probably just remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you have created one. Since you are asking this I'm guessing that Xorg did not load up properly - what did come up when you booted? Were there
