I do remember there being options in the XF86Setup menus for specifying 1024x768. There are one or two such areas, I believe - perhaps one to define all possible modes, then another to set the preferred. I remember taking a bit of time on that portion (relatively) but it did work in the end. My friend got a 1024x768 resolution, while I'm stuck on 800x600 on my Satellite. Sucks to be me. :P > > On Tue, 6 Jul 1999, Eric I. Arnoth wrote: > > > I recently set up a friend's VAIO for him. What I did was to run > > XF86Setup.
