I have a Toshiba laptop - and it supports 640x480 just fine. Yes, if I increase the resolution, I don't actually get finer details, but a bigger virtual desktop. And frankly, I don't like that feature at all. What really irks me is that Linux/XF86Free doesn't support 640x480 mode correctly in the first place. If I had the knowledge, I'd fix it, believe me... but I don't. And frankly, being forced to live with this limitation is rediculous. Last time I checked, 640x480x256 was still "THE" standard VGA mode that any monitor will support. Strange that XF86 doesn't... Curious - do any of the other X servers correct this problem? I'd be willing to pay for a package that did.. -Jay
