Hoping for at least something like that provided in a device driver. Does your Toshiba do 1440x1050 natively or is it extrapolated?

As Steve indicates, as far as "simulating" a higher resolution in the available real estate, haven't seen that either. Beverly Howard

The context of this is not about external monitors. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ http://smudj.wordpress.com/

The first netbook i tried allowed 1152x864 on a tiny screen. Yes, it wasn't the easiest to read, but it did extrapolate way past the tiny physical dimensions of the screen. A much larger laptop never went above 1280x800 and that had a dedicated ATI video card. |
