I have an old IBM Thinkpad A31p laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics chip with 64 meg display ram. The laptop's 1600x1200 LCD display has died. I have hooked up an external monitor (1920x1080). I have been able to reconfigure Windows XP and Fedora Core Linux to ignore the dead LCD and use the external monitor at 1920x1080 (which is sharp). But, with eCS 1.2R and 2.0, I cannot figure out how to do the equivalent.
I believe that the 7500 can do up to: 2048 x 1536 x 16Meg colors In eCS, using: System Setup: Screen I have tried 1600x1200 on the 1920x1080 which ends up with a fuzzy display. I have tried 1920x1080, but the real screen only shows a subset (perhaps 1280x960) of the image (which can be panned) to get to any part of the full image. I believe that I am using Snap graphics driver in eCS 1.2R and have tried both Snap and Panorama in eCS 2.0. I understand that there is a choice of graphics drivers for eCS. Which one should I be using and how to I configure it? I am willing to edit some configuration file, but have no idea what file to mess with. Doing Fn-F7 does switch between internal LCD, external monitor, and both; but I see no way to alter the resolution doing that. --- Fred J.
