Is this the laptop with the Intel Video? My friends wife has one of these and has similar issues in linux. Which version of X do you have? make sure you have at least 4.2.0. If you already do have the latest -Stable version of X, try pulling the source from their CVS tree. I had to do this a couple years ago for a Dell Inspiron 5000e laptop. * * * * * * * * Matt Snow (@) drama@slakin.net (w) http://slakin.net.
