Hmmm.. A monitor with bad display under Linux is later found to be mulfunctioning. Over the years, most of the times I had "weird" hardware behavior with Linux, I later found out the hardware was broken (memory chips, motherboard, fans/heat, UDMA disk from WD that had buggy UDMA firmware, etc.) > >>How come Windows (I.E) detection of new hardware is superior?
