I'm setting up a U10 to use my regular pc flatscreen monitor. Three questions came up.

1. The text display only uses the center of the display area, I lose about 1.5 inches (~40mm) on every edge. How do I use the entire screen?

2. When I hit the backspace key the screen rolls from black on while to white on black and then back again. Is something wrong?

3. If I want to use the U10 as a desktop for web-viewing normal pages, is the on-board video good enough or would you recommend an additional card? I have the 13w3 framebuffer card but amd trying to move away from the rather heavy Sun monitor.  ;)

Please feel free to suggest some man pages/web-sites to read. I'd rather read and learn than cut/paste and not understand.

ciao!
