That is, you've got it working? I still didn't. We've got a new TI notebook in the company, and i still don't seem to be able to convince it of using the correct display size (and perhaps dot clock). The point with all LCD displays is that you can't select arbitrary display sizes but are stuck with the native one. Thus, failure to select the right mode is usually catastrophic, and leaves the display in a weird state (totally out of sync). The only chance is to reboot, and this makes experimenting a bit hard. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
