pro integrated can ONLY use 1024x768!?

Post by scoobydu »

Hi

Very wierd, standard new pro install only gives me 1024x768.

If I select 640x480 or 800x600 I get a garbled screen.

1024x something appears on the install which I thought was a little strange.

The top 2/3 only of the screen is used.

Any ideas?

Thx

Pro should only support 640x480, i dont know where you are managing to select 800x600.

Nor do I?

If I don't sent anything with xbvset then it goes to 640x480

If I try to set anything with xbvset it will only give me what looks like 1024x768 but only using half of the screen.

If I try and set 640x480 or 800x600 the screen goes scrazy.

very wierd!!

Yes, this is something i dont recommend as it can cause issues (namely with xfree and xbv scripts) hence me including the 800x600.xbe as an option. The installer forces 640x480.
