Hello,
I was wondering if anyone on this list has had any luck getting a decent X display on a Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop. It apparently uses an Intel 845 video chipset and I can not get it to run at greater than 640x480 unless I go down to 256 colors. 256 colors would actually not be so terrible except when I switch to a virtual console the screen has become really dim. If I try to a greater number of colors it appears the system does not have enough video memory to do this. I have done some google searches but am not finding anything very clear.
Thanks in advance.
