    Gateway XHD3000 30-inch Wide-Screen

    I have no sweet clue. What distrobution are you running? I could install it quick on a notebook here that uses Intel graphics and see what happens. Edit: Actually, I don't think I can do that. The notebook only includes VGA, and as far as I know, VGA can't handle the extreme resolution, only...

    From our front-page news: If you happen to be a computer enthusiast who lives in Canada, you are probably well aware that purchasing equipment isn't the easiest of processes.

    I lost my know-how overnight!

    I can't say that I blame NewEgg for refusing a return... if the serial number doesn't match, then it's not the unit they sold you. Why should they still be liable?
