There are no reports on Uniwill or Linux Certified boxes at linux-on-laptops.org and the reports for uniwill boxes at tuxmobile are for systems that use a different video card. If you know of a site where you can search for reports by chipset instead of box manufacturer and model I'd love to hear. I've suggested the change to Linux-on-Laptops and from their response it sounds like they are going to use it. > > > Box is made by Uniwill Model 245IIO Built by Linux Certified who list > > a model number of LC2210D. > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lspci | grep Display > > 0000:00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corp. 82852/855GM Integrated > > Graphics Device (rev 02) > > > POST.

Intel has a driver on their site for the card which I might have to try, but I'm positive that LinuxCertified had a non-free deb installed for a video driver. I can't seem to find the name of that deb in the /var/lib/dpkg/status file. Is there a regex I can search for in "status" to find debs that aren't from the ubuntu main archive? I can't seem to find any info in the entries that I should search on. I'm still waiting to hear from LinuxCertified on the issue. Hopefully they'll respond early this week and have a solution. --Dave
