But how could that be true? Everythign works fine with some distros.
So far: Flashing: Suse 10.2, Ubuntu 6.10 (and distros based on it), Fedora Core 6 Not Flashing: Suse 10.2 Installation Process, Mandriva 2007.1, Ubuntu 7.10, and Windows. So it seems my choices are between distros that either blink or ones that refuse to show the correct resolution. ..or Windows. On 7/13/07, Bob Crandell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
