I have a Dell Latitude D820 laptop with one of the intel 915 series video chips. When I loaded Fedora 11, by having someone actually do the graphical installation for me, , I noticed that I had a 75 by 160 screen instead of the usual 24 by 80 one. Now, whenever I paste anything into ed from Speakup, I lock up. This always happens. I haven't tried this on any other machines. Has anyone seen anything similar? -- Bill in Denver
