Re: Intel Extreme Graphics video controller

Warren,

Yes, I saw that. I didn't really recognize that  as this specific problem,
although I guess it is. I was just a little concerned about the "Beta"
kernel, and what it might mean as far as updating later, etc on a production
machine. And then there's the installation of a kernel that always bothers
me, even though I've never really had problems before.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Steve Campbell
