If it's all about VESA_800x600 - there's no chance - check out my post from May, 11th answering "why i can not set VESA_800x600." I do use 80x30 mode - that's the best what ATI Mobility M1 can do fine. (I don't like 80x50/80x60 and for some reason these modes are unstable). > Aside from that, it seems that ACPI is not running very well, since I > cannot make my laptop wake up correctly after a sleep.

I'm not sure why, but wake up doesn't turn video on. Except of that (e.g. networking) everything seems fine. Setting up sysctls mentioned above solves the problem. > In fact I wonder if my CPx is not "biodegrading" itself : I had to change > the keyboard multiple times (it appears this is a motherboard problem : > when the controller is to warm, keys '8', 'i', 'k' and ',' don't work any > more), my touchpad doesn't work any more either and ACPI seems to be > broken. Upgrade the BIOS. Latest is A14 for CPxH.
