okay, hello 
the positive news. it works. it works (as far as i know) perfectly. dsl on an old lebook notebook (pentium 1, 32mb ram, 2gb hard-drive, so you'd expect it to work).
now my incompetence starts.
as far as i know, the computer because of hardware limitations has only a very few graphics modes. these include 640x480 in glorious 16bit colour (works perfectly) and 800x600 in glorious 4bit colour (any colour you want, provided it's on this list...) which also works perfectly.
in the 640x480 pixel mode, the edge of the screen isn't used. i was wondering if it's possible to get the whole screen used in this mode. i've tried setting the dpi in the nice configuration program, but that didn't seem to do anything (because i have no idea what i want, i just guessed and tried some numbers, and nothing changed. I have a 10.5inch laptop screen, so i tried various values between 60 and 80dpi and didn't see any difference on the screen)
alternatively, is there a method to get x-windows to tell me what dpi is used as default? then i could multiply this by 640/800 = 4/5 (which would just leave the question as to why that doesn't work when i set it in the configuration program...)
as you can tell, i have very little experience with tft-screens
yours
