The only thing I can relate is that under WinXP right now, my cursor wanders the screen uncontrollably when I use the keyboard. I haven't tried to get the wireless nic, firewire or sound working, but everything else is fine, afaik. In fact, the resolution and display of my Gnome desktop is better than it is under WinXP...I don't have to squint to see everything. Good luck, Bob
