I cannot find the option such as "expand screen" in my BIOS. I have found there the next options maybe concirning to the above matter: Video Memory - which can have values 64 MB, 128 MB or MaxDVMT (sets up in 64 MB); Power of Display - which can be "Both" or "Auto" (was sets up into "Both" because I regulary use the first display. Mode - which can be ESP, EPP, Bi-directorial or Output only (sets up into ESP). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
