NO. it's NEGOTIATED. if the HOUSING supports it AND the Card supports it, 1920x1080 is ALLOWED. but to do that, the Housing MUST be capable of simultaneously supporting 1366x768 *AND* beyond. in the case of fixed LCDs, the only way to guarantee that is to have line (or frame) buffer upscaler ICs *ON THE HOUSING*. it's NOT as simple as "1920x1080 is supported, period". > Note though, that disregarding the resolution, the colors depth is always > just 6 bits (instead of the standard 8 bits).

MiniPCIe was also something i considered in the past, but finding a right-angle "slotted" connector like the old games consoles proved elusive. and also i was concerned about accuracy of mating, and about having to create a surround shield custom casework.... look at the intel card you'll see what they did. that cost tens of thousands of dollars in tooling costs to make. l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to arm-netb...@files.phcomp.co.uk
