Sorry , I should have gave a little more detail. On my model (the |
| 2 |
M300CRV) the video BIOS is broken. |
| 3 |
1024x768 is listed in the V_BIOS but X6.X will not see this |
| 4 |
resolution. It only sees 800x600 and 640x480. |
| 5 |
The video memory is 32MB so that is not an issue. I called Gateway many |
| 6 |
times to ask if they could issue |
| 7 |
a new BIOS to fix the problem and all I had to an answer is "we do |
| 8 |
support Linux , it works properly in Windows" |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
They would not even tell me if there was an older version or a beta that |
| 11 |
I could even try. |
| 12 |

| 13 |
If anyone one has any ideas on how to get 1024x768 (no mode by this |
| 14 |
name) I would be very thankful |
