Hi there,
I just bought a new Sony VAIO VGN-FW250J, and I’m having problems with the compability with X11 and the Intel graphics card(Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family).
To begin with, none KDE 3.5, 4 or Gnome desktop worked on “normal” settings (the screen just looked like if it got burned), so I switched to console, and it worked pretty well (Installation was also looking good), then I tried switching on Safe mode, and it also worked.
By adding “X11failsafe” to the booting settings you can work with a 1024 resolution, but no desktop effects, no more resolution (the problem is that it looks horrible because the monitor XY ratio is very different and it looks streched).
Thanks in advance
Kevin H.
