Sure. It is a thought.

First I am not, do not claim to be, a programer or a coder or a 'name
goes here' geek.

Fedora, for some reason, has a problem 'seeing' my ordinary Samsung flat
screen. And so does Ubuntu. Why? Your guess would be as good as mine.
Mageia 'sees' it at once and it configures at install.

perhaps.

A suggestion. Go for the 'this should work of anybody' disks. They
usually do.

Best of luck.
