robin, there is an i810 howto. i assume this is the graphics chipset you're talking about. look in /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/. if it's not there, you can "apt-get linux-doc" (i think) or go to tldp.org (for sure). pete -- First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. -- Gandhi, being prophetic about Linux.
