[Server-devel] XS on ASUS Netbook - Display Problem

[Andra DuPont]

Martin,
Thanks for the suggestion. I will run lsmod.

After sleeping on it, I think the conflicting driver must
be related to the backlighting on the display, not the graphics processor. The Acer and Asus have the same 
graphics hardware, but the displays are different.
