Could this be an Inspiron 5150? I had a similar disease - most bizarre horizontal juddering on the external monitor. I believe it is a problem with the Dell BIOS not initing the second head properly. Workaround is to do Alt-F8 DURING TEXT MODE BOOT - before the entry to the graphical bootscreen. Let it come up on the external monitor, then you can use twinview fine. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/zzrTjKeDCxMJCTIRAvcEAJ4nbBpeKLEYLlC9mXSn7K0OMqKL5gCfX5e4 SbSL+Nt9FQNn54qC3E1l9TA= =TXCu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
