Video ram only limits the resolution.. 800x600x16bits = 614kb of video ram needed, which I guess is what the laptop is designed for.. But according to thinkwiki, the only X server to support the chip better than 640x480x16 colors was 3.3.6 svga.

A link to the exact server (3.3.6 svga): http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....l=3.3.6

My machine is a Dell Latitude. It matters not, I finally got the courage to go for the xserver.  Finally 800x600 !!   :laugh:

There are a few errors popping up in the log file but nothing fatal. 2 things going on now. The ram usage is up slightly. To be expected? Also the bottom 3/8" of the screen is not being used.

Anyway, merry Xmas, you guys are the best.

Yeah, that's what you get with full X compared to tiny X: more ram usage, more speed.

I've got two Dell latitudes that run different resolutions.  One only runs with 1280x1026 (VGA=795), and trying lower resolutions results in a border around the window.  The other runs 1074X768 and lower (VGA=792); trying a higher resolution, even with VGA at 775 and fbdev, gets an "undefined number" error...weird  (I got the laptops cheap & rebuilt.)
