My ASUS eeePC 1000HE Netbook 945GM runs fine with 11.3 and an external monitor. -- Cheers Malcolm ��� (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.32.13-0.4-default up 1 day 0:50, 3 users, load average: 0.02, 0.02, 0.00 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 256.35
