I wouldn't sell the laptop. I'm certain you can get the display working properly. A bunch of us have zd7000 with a non standard NVidia card and linux works great on it. (Dual monitors none the less.) I'd check and double check your sync values. You might try using xvidtune and gtf. Question: are you manually editing your xorg.conf file or are you using system-config-display ? If your video card is correctly identified, you should be able to use the latter. BTW: What does hwbrowser or infocenter report your card as and does it match what ends up in xorg.conf ? I think 1400x1050 is available under generic LCDs in system-config- display. -- Kim Lux, Diesel Research Inc.
