I don't know if the driver supports though. Thank you very much. That's a big clue, although it also means that I'm in big trouble... The drivers situation in this case appears to be pretty hopeless. The chip is an ATI M6-P (Mobility). ATI does not give out or sell drivers for it to the public (it directs users to the laptop's manufacturer, which in the case of Toshiba is a dead end). I write to the list in the hope that the situation may be less bleak than it looks from my (very ignorant) viewpoint. Is it possible to find a Linux driver for this chip? Thanks all the help! kj _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
