But who knows.
I made some tests and the result is that, at least, it looks more stable, which is an improvement... ;-) To be sure, I need more time since the crash I experience is not deterministic: sometime it happens at boot time, just when gdm starts, sometimes it happens when changing user, sometime it doesn't happen at all! > Anyway, if it does not work, you should definitely file a bug report. > Only then my problem was dealt with by the intel engineer.

I will think about that, but it is diffucult to describe it since the resolution works fine, once manually defined, whereas the crashes, as I said, are quite randoms. There is also another issue: as I wrote in a previous mail, the intel device is not autorecognized by knoppix. This fact is quite strange. May I ask you which device is yours? Mine is a G43, on integrate on the mother board Asus P5QL-EM. In case, can you try to boot knoppix? If you also experience the same problem, maybe this also could be signaled as a bug.
