One would be well advised here to check for differanies in the XF86Config file, it may well be XF86Config-4 on your system, there will be differancies otherwise it "should" work in the same manor on both systems. Check for things like; HorizSync rate VertRefresh rate ModeLine definions Resolution sizes under "Section Screen". Considering someone said "nv" driver, check that modiules such as; dbe clx and font modules are correct. If it works to your likeing on one system then it "should" work the same on another system "providing" one configure's it properly. Another thing is i have not followed this thread fully so forgive me if someone else has pointed this out. -- If the Linux community is a bunch of theives because they try to imitate windows programs, then the Windows community is built on organized crime.
