hello
i hope i get this right (first post)
i've installed hardy on a Dell Latitude X300 (specification (http://www.dell.com/downloads/us/products/latit/x300_spec.pdf))
everything works fine except when i close the lid and then reopen it, the display is all corrupt.
restarting gdm works fine and i can log in again.
i think it's something to do with my xorg.conf being set to a default screen instead of the i810 (the actual chipset is 855). i messed around a bit with xorg.conf and got the display to come back after opening lid but then i lost the mouse pointer (i could still select but the pointer was invisible).
i'm away from the machine so can't post the xorg.conf file.
does anyone have an X300 Latitude xorg.conf file they could share with me?
thanks

i'm still stuck with this. isn't anyone running 8.04 on a Dell Latitude X300?
if i installed 7.10 and it worked ok, would i be able to copy the xorg.conf and, after re-installing 8.04, use the 7.10 xorg.conf?
anyone?
thanks

in the end i installed a 7.04 ubuntu and combined its xorg.conf (which worked) with the 8.04 xorg.conf
