Hello,
I'm a newcomer, and I succesfully installed Alpha 2 on my acer netbook N450
(with intel graphics i915) but I couldn't set the correct resolution; so I
tried the most recent nightly builds but they didn't boot. Could you suggest
me what can be a bootable nightly build, so that I could test it on my
netbook?
Thanks,
Daniele
