Thing is, mine didn't have any swapping. I had RAM, no swap space/partition on the drive (that's how I re partitioned it) I have enough RAM that I just allocate full RAM, no swapping needed and no balancing. It just uses the RAM it's been assigned. My guests either run 256MB, 1024MB, 2048MB, 4096MB RAM. Depending on what they are used for and the actual O/S they have. So if it was the swap, then I should not have been affected. If it wasn't, then that's why it affected me too. :} -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

However it didn't happen often. I never found out the reason why it happened, because I saw there was a fix for it. 3.1 didn't EVER have the screen corruption for me.

The Thinkpads work well with Qubes. the T530 is very nice and works well. So the Pro T460 should also be quite acceptable.
