Mike Threatends to shoot anyone that raises there hands(The laptop I
bring to meetings belongs to my company and is my main workstation).
But if you promise that it will not brake any hardware and it will
work propery again with less then an hours work.

But my laptop may not be the best choice as it requires NVidia binary
drivers to use the vga out. Plus it requires very peticular xconfig in
order to  be able to switch back to the console once Xwindows is
started, slightly differant config will ether leave the console
imposable to see or hard lock the machine.
