So first I tackled the screen blanking bug, which has been driving me nuts.

In the end, though, I've decided to try and address these problems with the existing system, which is really a fine system if I can just deal with these things.

Three, I can't have two external monitors on it as it only has one VGA portįour, intel driver bug causing periodic screen blankings that only a reboot can fix This was mainly due to a few irritants with the laptop: I've been planning for a while to buy a new desktop, replacing the laptop I've been using as my only client system for the last year and a half. I decided today that I really hadn't had enough crazy hardware hackery in my life lately. Two, there'll soon be a much better option - DisplayLink drivers for Linux. UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: for anyone coming to this post via Google, one, what's written in it is mostly impossible with modern distributions, since you can't use the old i810 driver any more with recent X.org releases.
