Thanks DJ,
     I've put pcb on my Acer Aspire 5250-0678 with Mint15 and a Radeon 
6310 video board.  It works really great better than Mint 13 on my 
desktop.  Loads the completed layout in less than 1 second.  I guess my 
desktop problem is due to the Nvidia 8500 GT video board.

     Of interest I tried an ATI HP compaq Radeon 1300 SFF 256Meg and two 
live distros nomodeset etc always gave a garbage screen after a clean 
grub start.  I guess I need to find a new video pcb that still has 
drivers.  Both ATI and Nvidia have all drivers in one big package and I 
think ATI have dropped support for older cards.  I still have other 
issues with the desktop video when compared with the laptop.  Thanks Ian.
