    Hi, new here. Do you have a search engine? i couldn't find one.
    Im having problems with intel 855gme graphics drivers on my clevo and dont know where to turn, ive googled for hours.
    anyway, the basic driver that came with the computer, occasionally when i open a browser window or video window, the screen goes stripey grey. Everything seems to be fine underneath as i can shut down with no problems but no screen until i reboot.
    I installed the latest drivers (and tried those inbetween to no avail) and this seems to overcome this problem but at the expense of resolution.
    The new driver says in display>settings that monitor is digital flat monitor 1280 x 1024, but my screen is 1280 x 800 (wide) and there is no option to change that. The only resolution that is usable is 1280 x 768, which fits the screen, but the text and icons are slightly distorted.

    Please, please, please can someone help me overcome this problem or direct me to appropriate drivers, i really have exhauseted all my searching options.

    Thanks very much in advance.
