without seeing your log file, I'd guess it's the common intel i8xx bug. Dell are dragging their heels - it's their BIOS which causes the problem. HASSLE YOUR DELL TECH SUPPORT! Essentially, the BIOS only pre-allocates 892KB of video mem at boot time. the i810 module use the BIOS to programme it's video modes, and since you haven't got enough memory, you can't get a decent res. Intel has released a fix for this, but dell needs to implement it in their BIOS flash updates. There is a patch to get things working here http://www.chzsoft.com.ar/855patch.html cheers chris -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | TELESCOPE, n. | | A device having a relation to the eye similar to that of the | | telephone to the ear, enabling distant objects to plague us with a | | multitude of needless details.
