I might be able to help as well (also didn't see the earlier part of this thread)... I have several M710's at work running both gentoo and Ubuntu, and X is running ok on them. Getting the config from a liveCD is a good place to start if you're really not sure. One thing though - since some other items were mentioned (albeit briefly), regarding kernel and splashimage, maybe a quick review of the system would refresh those of us who are now on the radar with you... sounds like re-hashing, but we can't fix one thing and break three others. The idea here is to get you up and running with the least additional frustration...

Later play with it, man pages, Google, ML etc. At least will have a working Xorg. HTH. Rumen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
