By any chance did you also figure out how to adjust the brightness and/or contrast?
Actually, I think adding a laptop brightness setting in control panel would be a nice touch for some future release. My Sony Vaio laptop FXA59 is stuck at full brightness, which kills the battery quickly. The F5 key did it via software in WindowsXP when I brought the machine. But of course XP is not on the machine anymore :) Regards - Jim Connor --- Wouter Lagerweij <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun, 2002-09-29 at 23:01, Reinhard Katzmann > wrote: > > Hi Wouter, > > > > > > I'm just starting to test these nice stuff :) > > > > > > > > http://www.gaugusch.at/vaio/ > > > > > > Thanks! > > > > > > As a fellow vaio-user: Have you been able to run > XFree 4.2.1 on your > > > machine?
