Comment 35 for bug 231455

@CalcProgrammer:

Using installed version 8.04.1, I managed to copy your xorg.conf file.
I then shutdown the system and rebooted.
Screen now working fine on 8.04.1

I am not sure about updating to 8.10 until I can figure out what is going on.

Looking at the bottom of the laptop, there appears to be a lot of screws, and I am not too sure about taking the laptop apart.

Next step is to figure out how to get the Netgear PC Card working (WG511 v2).

I have the initial CD I got from netgear and can locate the WG511v2.INF file under the drivers/windowsxp directory on the cd.

I found this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76804

I also read the help info (for Using Windows Wireless Drivers) but could not find a package called ndisgtk under
System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package manager.

The good news is that, thanks to you guys for sharing your knowledge, we have something that works and can build on.
