This only has a tab on the left side for "size and orientation" which
just gives me size, refresh and orientation as a choice. The dialog has
lots of blank space and I am wondering if their is a trick to start it
up as an "administrator" or somthing to have more choice.
On the advanced side there is a "hardware" tab but it offers choices for
Power management backend, network management backend and Bluetooth.

The motherboard has an Intel video built in to one of the bridge chips,
