Re: max resolution reached?
find out the horizontal and vertical sync rates of your monitor
and X should let you use something higher then 640x480. finding
the right sync rates is critical especially on a small monitor
which i assume your using(14"?) if you set the wrong rates
and go higher you can blow the monitor pretty easy. if you
can't find the info check www.monitorworld.com or something
if you still can't find it..look harder :) or find a new
monitor.
