Has anyone tried repairing this? Supposedly a new inverter card or a new CCRT is needed.... Temporarily I have attached an external Samsung flatscreen display to the T42. It has a resolution of 1680x1050 but it comes up in 1024x768 mode and everything is horizontally stretched. I would like to use it in a higher res mode and more importantly to avoid the stretching. Does any one have a xorg.conf that I can use as a starting point for an external display with higher res? If it matters, I am running -current and xorg-6.9.0 Thanks! -- bakul
