Hi,

About the screen problem:
I don't know that model, but in earlier laptops, text mode wouldn't
fill the whole screen (pixels weren't "expanded"), and that may be the
reason of your problem.
Under Linux, many "text modes" are actually graphic modes
(framebuffers and such), and not pure BIOS text modes, have you tried,
for example, wether it happens with MS-DOS (or Win9x/ME bootdisk...).
