    Does anyone have this issue? I had it on my old T60 which also had an ATI graphics card. What happens is that once I enter my password for my user account, the screen will go blank, then come back on, as if it was for a resolution change, except it is the same resolution. I have only found it to happen on laptops with ATI graphics, never for nVidia. Anyone have an idea as to what can cause it? I remember the last time I fixed this on my T60 it had to do with the Catalyst 3D options, but I've done that with this new 1640 and have yet to be able to get rid of it. The screen "blinking" is a minor thing to me, but it is still something I'd like to fix...any ideas?
