So far this series has checked out Lindows 4.0, Libranet 2.8.1 and MEPIS 2003.10. Meanwhile both Lindows.com and Xandros have been busy little beavers and spat out new versions of their software, each on the same day. Since I am trying to find the best bang for my buck in a Debian based commercial distro, and since I am already a registered user of LindowsOS, I felt compelled to download a free copy of Lindows 4.5 to have a second look at this thing.

Once again, the author does not know the difference between "disabling" onboard graphics and setting onboard graphics to secondary.
***YOU DID NOT DISABLE THE ONBOARD GRAPHICS*** - THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE ON I810.
Now go back and read that again.
The reason you have this problem is that your "value" chipset does not have an AGP slot, so inserting a PCI card with the onboard AGP puts you in dual-display mode, as it SHOULD.
Think of this as having an AGP card and then putting in a PCI card - what happens? You go into dual-display mode. The BIOS setting the author keeps using only sets the primary display in the dual-display configuration.
Author, get a clue. I posted this same comment on your last article.
I'm a Slack fan myself, so I'll probably never use Lindows.
