Quoth William Gallafent: > (Or have I missed something earlier in this discussion that prevents > this from working?) yup. The driver uses the video bios to programme video modes. If a mode is not listed in the BIOS you are, as they say, shit outta luck :-( the modes listed in my 855GM are 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1024x600, 1600x1200 and 1920x1440. Since I have a hi-res 1400x1050 mode, I'm also screwed. This is the fault of you're system manufacturer (in my case DELL). You need to hassle them for a BIOS upgrade. cheers chris -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | TELESCOPE, n. | | A device having a relation to the eye similar to that of the | | telephone to the ear, enabling distant objects to plague us with a | | multitude of needless details.
