Thinkpad 770 screen problem

Hi all. I've installed Debian 4.0 on this system. I can't get X to go to the maximum resolution of 1024x768. It also doesn't use the full screen in console mode. I was using Mandriva 2008.1, but switched to hopefully get a more stable system. The chipset is a Trident 9337 with 2 mb of memory. I t

5.25 inch USB drive?

e put back into service. I would think the USB drive should be less expensive anyway and I don't have to worry about how do I transfer the data once I do read it. I haven't looked at the system in years, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't even have a nic in it. Isaac MacFarlane
