I have seen this problem with Intel cards. Maybe this will give you an idea. If your xorg.conf does not give enough information about memory, then X doesn't know how much memory there is, and so you get the smaller resolultion. On some Intel cards--I don't know about yours--the memory is shared with the motherboard's main memory. ON a system like that , it is especially important to find out how to declare how much memory you want to have for video. I know this seems like detail crap that users should not have to mess around with. But it seems to be an everpresent fact of life. pj -- Paul E.
