Posted January 9, 200421 yr hey, ive recently bought a dell inspiron 1100 laptop. i reinstalled windwos home edition after installing linux. now both linux and windows have a resolution of 640 x 480. i can't change my windows resolution but i can change it in the adaptop advanced propeties but only to the right size (1024 x 850) but with 8bit color. the alternative is 640 x 480 with 24bit color. i installed the drivers again and it stays the same. strangly, on the driver setup which is from boot disc, i get a full screen with 24bit color but then it goes back when i go onto windows.
January 9, 200421 yr Are you sure that the drivers you have are for the exact same model of laptop? Even a slight difference can sometimes have weird issues ... though if you got the drivers from the restore CD, it should be the right one. There might be a newer version that works better on the manufacturer's site, too. Restore discs are sometimes like that ... -The Gavster Three students died that year at the academy; one was executed, one was killed in a training accident, and one died of natural causes, for a knife to back will naturally kill anyone. -RA Salvatore Like to IRC?
