Re: Damage line on screen
Sorry Kero,
I sort of assumed on a laptop list that you would expect it to be an lcd.
and yes, I think suddenly, as in I noticed it once it was there.
Until I bring up the X-window manager - i.e. at the just booted stage, the
screen is black with whitish words on it.
I was unable to find anything which would tell me what those speeds were
supposed to be set at; most people simply seemed to copy what someone else
had done, and I found only one who reported what he did with a 1024x768
screen.
