My main aim is to have this laptop run KDE. Thanks! Hi! dmesg --> freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org What makes your graphics on laptop? If you have wrong driver in conf, you are stranded. Also, is it chip on the card or on mb? Maybe you put too low for X in your bios? Check all and write. Best regards. ZK
