Afaik going above "standard" vesa resolution is always dicey. Afaik upto 800 x 600 is standard and 1024 x 768 also common enough (and implemented in the vga bios in a more or less standard way). Due to volatile nature of a live cd, configuring the display is a problem. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
