 Ted,

  I'm mucking a bit with FC8 now on my T20, and haven't noticed any 
issues though it is a different graphics chip. However when I upgraded 
from Zen 4.8 to 5, I had to roll back my video driver to get the correct 
resolution..
 After the upgrade 800x600 was the only avail res, after roll back I had 
my 1024x768 back. So just a thought and a wag all in one.. Good luck.
