I'm not Randall... but I also have a VP201b, When I first installed 10.1 I could not get the monitor setup properly due to the ATI modules in the kernel. I ran at 1280x1024 for quite awhile and it was not good. I don't think 1024x768 would be any better. I finally downloaded the ATI driver and after I got them working I switched to an NVidia card and haven't looked back. I would think you would be able to set a vp201b into its 1600x1200 mode and then work with the software to get it into a mode you want.... larger fonts, etc. Maybe someone else has experience with that. Point is.... if you get an LCD small enough that its native mode is 1024x768, then you're dealing with a smaller screen and I think the result is going to be much the same. Better to have the larger screen size and then enlarge the info that goes on it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
