Hello,
I did what you advised me and now, when I close a xwindow session the
screen is normal. (for the moment ...)
Since we have the same laptop I would like to ask you a question about
the partitions of the hard disk.
At the origin the hard disk has:
/dev/sda1 fat32 ~ 5 Gb
/dev/sda2 fat32 ~ 53 Gb
/dev/sda3 fat32 ~ 53 Gb
I would like to do:
/dev/sda1 fat32 ~ 5 Gb
/dev/sda2 fat32 ~ 20 Gb
/dev/sda3 fat32 ~ 10 Gb
the rest for linux (etch) but the support of acer (in France) told me
"don't touch to the partitions sda1 and sda2, only resize sda3"
and then I did:
/dev/sda1 fat32 ~ 5 Gb
/dev/sda2 fat32 ~ 53 Gb
/dev/sda3 fat32 ~ 10 Gb
the rest for linux. However I don't use windows often and I have 40 Gb
unused.
How did you partition your hard disk ?

Thanks.

Hi, of course it is a riskful operation to partition a disk where
there are already data, but I think that with partition magic and a
GOOD backup you could give it a try ;-)
Otherwise if you don't mind to loose all of your windows data, you can
repart the hdd and then reinstall windows. Quite long however!
Byez,
JoY

Hi, I have resized sucessfully my partition three weeks ago.
In a previous post some debian-laptop-users advised me to use gparted
and some others told me that they did a bad experience wit gparted and
the filesystem ntfs.(but the version of xp on my laptop use fat32)
Finally I see on a forum that mandriva had a good tool to resize the
partitions (ntfs too).
I crossed fingers and I booted on mandriva, resize my partition and quited
mandriva and ... windows .... booted like charme.
After that I installed etch quietly and etch works fine too. (almost...).

thanks.
