Problem was so severe that I stopped using the laptop and used it as an excuse to buy a new one. :=) I reverted to Fedora Core 1 Linux on that machine and it runs fine under the Savage Driver, If there is anybopdy in london with the skills to diagnose and fix this problem I would be happy to lend them the machine. -- Regards Tim Hawkins Technical Yahoo!
