From what I have been told, there is a set of potentiometers inside the case of the MegaPixel Display which control the characteristics of the Display. A friend of mine got fed up with the dull screen of his Cube, so he cracked the Display open, and fiddled with the pots till he had the desired screen brightness. Disclaimer: I didn't actually see him do it, but his screen *is* much brighter than it was a while ago. -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Erik O'Shaughnessy Mac/Unix Support Guy |Phrase of the day: Small Systems | "Poetically Inert" New Mexico State University | eoshaugh@nmsu.edu |"Help!
