It’s been a whille since I’ve effed with this but, I’ve had to rebuild one of my laptops and upon the rebuild the video driver seems to be all out of wack. I’ve upgraded the video driver from IBM, I’ve downloading the critical updates from MS, but, I can’t seem to change the resolution to anything from 640X480.

FYI, The adapter is set at Neomagic Magicgraph 128pci and the Monitor is set at Super VGA 1024X768.

What should I change?

I used to just update the driver on the adapter and then be able to change the res. to anything. It’s not working this time.

Any help?

Oh yeah, NeoMagic.

It seems to be just a driver problem. How do you set the monitor without setting the video display?
