On the same portable there is also a SUSE Linux 10.1 and WinXP, which works in 1280x768 (so the hardware can use this resolution) In /var/log/Xorg.0.log is see many references to 1280x768 for the 'local flat panel' , PanelID returned panel resolution: 1280x768, also Printing DDC gathered Modelines: 3 lines (||) 1810(0): Modeline "1280x768"x0.0 (followed by varying numbers and a KhZ to end) follewed y Mode: 30 (640x480) (specifications) diffenrent Mode sections but 1024x768 at the highest .. (||) |810(0): Not using mode "1280x768i (no mode of that name) (--) |810(0): Virtual size is 1024x768 (pitch 1024) (**) |810(0): Built-in mode "1024x768" (**) |810(0): Display dimensions: (260,160) mm (**) |810(0): DPI set to (100,121) Why isnt' the 1289x768 recognized???
