It only does 480P on Youtube, with max cpu speed selected, so forget about trying to revive Gentoo on it. 2008 tech just doesn't cut it today. I've got another project that might be interesting for it. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
[gentoo-user] Help; stuck in 1024x768 or lower mode on old machine
I'm checking out my old backup desktop machine and it has dropped to 1024x768 max. I distinctly remember it running 1920x1080 on my 1920x1080 monitor in the past. (When I say old, I mean a Dell Inspiron 530 from 2008) I'm using a KVM switch, like I always have. Could that be the problem? xrandr reports...
