Fwd: Screen resolution with onboard graphics card
What is the graphics card and how much memory does it have?
Check /etc/X11/XF86Config (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 if using
X v4). What is the default setting there and what modes
are set? I could run 16 Bit 1024x768 on an old 486
motherboard with onboard graphics card that only had 2MB
memory. Wasn't super fast though, to say the least.
