Finally got around to installing Beta3 on my Laptop a couple of notes: I have a few issues with KDE: a) The control center won't start up from the icon on the task bar. I can invoke it by hand from a terminal window but it will SEGV eventually. b) I cant invoke the kde desktop control from the desktop either.... Other than that the install went really well. I haven't tried it on my main system to see if there is still the problem with matrox G400 cards with < 32M... A note for laptop users... A sane thing to do before doing an install is to get all relavant notes for your laptop from the linux on laptops site: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ Even though mandrake does a good job of setting up the hardware, the X configuration on laptops seems to be dicey at best. You probably want to default to not having X startup on boot if you are not sure of your configuration. Of course your mileage will vary.. (Perhaps there could be a 'default' laptop configuration using the VGA driver even if it detects a 'supported' chip set?) -randy
