I cannot find the option such as "expand screen" in my BIOS. I have
found there the next options maybe concirning to the above matter:
Video Memory - which can have values 64 MB, 128 MB or MaxDVMT (sets up
in 64 MB);
Power of Display - which can be "Both" or "Auto" (was sets up into
"Both" because I regulary use the first display.
Mode - which can be ESP, EPP, Bi-directorial or Output only (sets up
into ESP).
