Last year (when I bought my lapton) I STFW like mad to find the proper mode, but all tables I could find went only up to 1280x1024. Now I'm trying to promote "hwinfo --framebuffer" as much as possible. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein)
