....well, almost Rolling Eyes

Here's the problem. The display I'm using goes up to 1440x900 and looks the best there.

So I set it to 1440x900 (having manually created such a mode) with the resolution-changer wizard (without leaving X) and it doesn't change squat. Computer thinks it's smarter than I am (wrong!).

*sigh* go into rxvt, and...

I am trying to recall as I used to use a large display with my Netbook & had to do this ...

I think I opened Utility --> Laptop Tool --> Change Resolution --> then twiddled with display settings - I think the external on Auto and Internal Off.

I do remember that it took several tries to get it right.

I also had to force it into Turbo mode daily but the external monitor resolution mode stuck once I found the right setting.

If I took the Netbook on the road then I had to reset things once to use the internal display then again to use the external display once back in the home office.

When switching to the internal display I the system defaulted to set-up resolution & I had to then set the Internal resolution to AUTO & the external to Off.

HTH ...

That's about what I did.

Unfortunately, I rebooted and it didn't work anymore Sad

Try a search, I prefer http://duckduckgo.com on "Samsung nb30" or "external monitor netbook"

Although my first post was ignored I recall that someone walked me through the solution in another thread somewhere.

Unless it was a private message ... if i find something there i will post it.

Temporarily fixed -- by switching screens with Mom, oddly enough Laughing

she's been using my old Samsung -- a smaller, 15" LCD that's 4:3 like I needed to make this thing smooth.

Right now she's trying out a nice Viewsonic widescreen, to see how she likes it. It's the one that was giving me headaches earlier Wink

if she doesn't want it I'll probably see if the local tech shop will take it in trade for another screen that's 15" and 4:3.

Update on Raring-3.9.9.2

Using Raring-3.9.9.2 since it came out!

No problems so far!!!

WiFi holding like a champ!!! (I only encountered one problem a few months ago and lost WiFi then but, I believe it was Internet-related as it never occurred again. Anyway, it corrupted my savefile but a pfix=fsck brought everything back to normal its working fine.)

Await the next version.

Just wanted to let you know pemasu, you're building some fine puppy's!!!!!!

Yep, pemasu puts together some fine Puppies indeed.
But don't tell him, it might go to his head. Laughing

Closing the lid (suspend) has two issues for me right now. Issue One is that it makes shutting down impossible except via power button. I get "Puppy is now shutting down" and then I get a hashtag prompt. Issue Two is a bit more serious. I'm pretty sure the fact that my flash drive has corrupted files, is due to the fact that I left it mounted when I put my netbook into suspend.

Full install to ASUS 1000HEB with 2gb RAM and a 64gb SSD.
