This is a bug on dapper and to work around it is simple. Try Edited file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replaced the "ati" driver with "vesa". The vesa driver works with just about any hardware, but it's a noticeably slow driver. This was from a artical on Distro whatch. http://distrowatch.serve-you.net/weekly.php?issue=20060605#news Gobby -- deadgobby
