Yep. There's no fun in buying a laptop and needing to carry a CRT around
with it, is it? ;-)

Same error, the image is streched.

If I pass vga=791 to lilo i cannot see anything when i boot: the screen
goes off, the system responds but i have to reboot in 800x600 to see
anything.
Looks like _something_ happened, though: when i restart and run X it
usually shows in the bottom part of the screen the contents of the video
memory (until it gets overwritten with the X default background), and I
can see there the console status of the last reboot, so apparently the
framebuffer console knew it was in 1024x768. Dunno, perhaps someone
finds it interesting.

Thanks,
Iñaki
