Hmm, with T20 I've no experience at all so I'm way out of my league there. I do know that IBM hosts a mailinglist for Thinkpads and linux so maybe you should check that out too. Unfortunately I don't have the URL but surely someone else here knows it......Gerard?? But then this sounds more like a memory/video setting problem, doesn't it? What graphic card does it have? Does the same happen using more lightweight windowmanagers like xfce or icewm? Good luck, HarM
