Hi Carl, Tried the experiments above and ended up doing #3 the contents of that file is: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chip: 0 is -> Intel 915 G 00:02:0 0x8086 0x2582 PCI i810 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Something that I didnt mention before, is that when texting the monitor settings in sax2 is that it is not possible to adjust the screen, i.e. clicking on the arrows that move the screen around or shrinks or expands it do not work. And then clicking either save or cancel gives that blank screen which then Ctrl+Alt+BkSpace does not work, it just hangs and have to hard reboot. I decided to force the monitor settings by not clicking test, but to save straight away. This seemedly worked, however other problems arise such as not being able to logout or shutdown or get to init 3. I'm wondering now whether there has been a change in 10.1 such that it can no longer handle this particular graphic adapter or something, e.g. why wont the arrows adjusters work when testing the monitor etc G.
