Hey all! I've been running my Thinkpad 385CD with Linux for a few months now, and love it! I've one question though, that is particularly bothering me as I'm afraid for the life of my display! If I hook up an external monitor, text mode works as expected - the internal display is not enabled,and the external display works properly. If i start up X, the external display cuts out, and the LCD quickly develops large, angry looking white blotches, usually in a band across the top, covering about 1/4 of the display. I keep a watch out for this, and Fn-F7 quickly to switch the displays (if I hadn't already done that prior to starting X). I'm now running RH6.0, but this was manifesting itself from RH5.1, which was the first version I started playing with on this box. The BIOS is the late Oct version, Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and what I can do to stop it? Cheers!
