Have you installed, and run "system-config-display"? Unless the hardware was successfully configured at install time, which it obviously was not due to the difficulties you had with the graphical installation, your /etc/X11/xorg.conf or similar configuration files are not well configured. Find out the resolution of your laptop display screen, be sure to select an LCD screeen of the matching size, and see how it goes. If you have an NVidia chipset, you may need to install NVidia's drivers for best performance, but this should get you started. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
