To be honest here, I have no idea as I have never had a laptop. But I am sure someone here will eventually give you advice on this. So, you're new to Linux, how are you finding it so far? Matt

Coming to this thread a little late, but to the original author of the thread (whose mail I deleted last night!)...you can find information on configuring the 630 video on the page below. No Guarantees that it works, but it is worth a shot: http://radel.inet.net.nz/m810lmr.html Scroll down to question 16. good luck! bob

I am not positive but I think I had an install that did use it back aruond 7.2.

Hi Frank, The only way I managed to get the SIS 630 chipset to work properly with LCD displays on SuSE 7.1 was via the frame buffer. Normal CRT displays work OK without the frame buffer but LCD's will not work (black screen). Please refer to the following article. "Configure an unsupported graphic card using the framebuffer device" http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/wessels_easy_fbdev.html Regards, Graham Smith ----------------------------------------
