    Hello WSXGA owners. I request the help of one special person. I need you to save your ATI bios to a file and send it to me. The goal of this is to free us poor souls who own wxga-only M6Ne laptops from our imposed resolution.

    I have created a special bootable CD image that will allow you to mount your NTFS c: drive with read/write privliges (if you are not fat32). On it is the program ATIflash; with it you can extract the bios for the ATI Radeon Mobility 9700.

    The command will be atiflash -s 0 c:/wsxga.bin

    In case you think I am suggesting something wicked:

    This is perfectly safe, and will not affect your system at all.

    I've replaced my WXGA screen with a WSXGA screen. All I need is the bios to make the timings correct. If it works, it will be a major breakthrough for all of us.

    First person willing to help - reply to this thread saying you'll help, then email me so that I can send you the Nero .nrg image. My email is mrgraphics@yahoo(nospam).com. Remove the (nospam) obviously.

    THANK YOU FROM ALL OF US IN ADVANCE!!!
