U. Kukulies kukulies@rwth-aachen.de Hi Chris, I was thinking of dumping my Sony Viao FX290 for one. So yes, its the 8200. What type of a console do you get on that machine? On the Viao with I815 so-called graphics chip :) I get the tiny console on my screen without VESA support in the kernel. I'd love to have a laptop again with a full screen console.
