    I recently purchased an Acer tm4510 laptop (Mobile INTEL(R) 915GM/GMS, 910 Express Chipset Family) and the resolution is not very good. I can only get 2 resolutions, 600 * 800 and 1024 * 768. I would like to get a higher resolution, such as 1280 * 960. Is this possible, I saw somehwere about non plug and play monitors which would have a higher resolution. Can make the processor think it is a non plug and play (something about EDID information back to the processor). I have the correct drivers and I have tried several others without sucess. The main reason I want the better resolution is edit JPGs and to maybe watch a video sometime. Does anybody know how a can better resolution for these events.

    You need to download and install the graphics drivers for your laptop. If I am correct, that laptop has a maximum internal resolution of 1280x800.
