Concerning the Dell GX270, get the latest BIOS (A04), and you can run it up to over 1024x768. The A04 bios was just released on May 27th. One of the fixes with A04 is to correctly report onboard video memory to non-Windows OSes. I had this problem as well, and after applying the new BIOS, I was able to run at 1600x1200. Hope this helps! :) Regards, Willis Sarka On Tue, 2004-06-22 at 12:52, Edward Croft wrote: > On Tue, 2004-06-22 at 15:00, Hanna H.
