Disregard previous! Posting this from Mepis 6.5
Had a couple of problems once I told the comp to behave itself and book from drive (I think the bios has a liking for MS
) - first time over it the monitor went blank with the power LED blinking, but the system was running under the hood as num lock could be toggled, and it responded to the three-fingered salute and rebooted
Next time around, I told it to stick to 800x600 and 60 Hz and it worked like a charm. Nothing needed configuring. One glitch was that the taskbar (or equivalent) was blinking continuously, I have stopped it by locking it but dont know why it happened first off.
Still, This is much easier on the eyes than Ubuntu and its default settings, it seems to have a tremendous set of apps too. I'm off to explore
