[Please don't top-post, it makes replying difficult.] /var/log/Xorg.0.log should show where X is going wrong. X is usually pretty wordy about what it's doing. If it's a refresh rate problem, setting it to 60 Hz should work without any visible flicker on the LCD. Some of those model of Satellite appear to have come with a 1024x768 screen, so that's worth trying also. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
