Dear List,

   I have installed FC2 on my ThinkPad X40. Most of the features work
fine out-of-the-box apart from video, which has some annoying problems.
The machine uses an Intel 82852/855GM integrated graphic device. I have
tried standard FC2, changed color depths, upgraded to custom kernels and
Arjan's builds as well as to the xorg version in fedora update-testing
(6.7.0-3): the problems persist.
   The first noticeable problem is that whenever I close the laptop lid
and reopen it the upper part of the screen (about half of the size of
the gnome panel) gets corrupted since the image is shifted down of the
corresponding space. This is not annoying since a simple ctrl-alt-F1
ctrl-alt-f7 sequence restores everything.
   What is *really* annoying is that this corruption appears when I
switch to the external monitor as well (and the f1-f7 trick no longer
works since the image returns back on the LCD screen). This makes the
laptop not usable for presentations, which is one of the main uses of it
(I have to boot in WinXP to give a presentation).
   Also (but this is a minor problem), when I try to use xv with mplayer
on the external monitor, the mplayer window is blue.
   Does any of you have any suggestion on how I can overcome at least
the external monitor corruption problem? I attach my xorg.conf file.

  Thanks in advance
