Thanks for the advise. Unfortunately, when I run 'system-configure-display --reconfig' the screen goes blank, like before, and doesn't come back on again. I agree that it is some display settings, but I havn't been able to figure out which ones I need to change and what they are. Does anyone know what setting I might need for this laptop?
