I hope to correctly answer you: the detected hardware is the following Video card: Trident CyberBlade (generic) Monitor Type: LCD Panel 1024x768 I can change the Monitor type from Display settings option panel, and if I do that, the new values are remembred: I don't have to reconfigure every time. i read the new values in the Display settings, but the don't correspond to the truth. For instance, I am now reading 1024x768, but i see the screen with 800x600 resolution. Speaking about the upgrade, I launch the automatic upgrade every time I see the alert icon in the tray switching on. My system is always updated this way. Were you talking about these kind of updates, right? I update my pc this way, since I have a DSL connection. The touch pad, finally, is still a mistery to me... I hope you have more information in order to help me out solving my problems.
