    Hi,

    I have a doubt - when I acess a bios (press F2) my screen doesn´t show in full screen - 1280x800 it´s a native resolution and a bios show like a 640x480 with a black lines. I see other W5F the bios shows full screen?

    My W5F have a problem??

    This might not be relevant to your problem, but I thought the screen resolution of the W5 is 1280 x 768?

    I think it´s a 1280x800 for W5F Black and 1280x768 for W5F White.

    there should be an option (probably with one of the function keys) to switch your screen from displaying an interpolated image (stretched across your screen) to displaying at native resolution. The bios always gives an image of 640x480 (the bios can't handle more than that) but normally that image is stretched acroos your screen.
    I guess it's time to read the manual :)

    Hi,

    I found a solution

    In bios load the default settings and save, done! But in bios I don´t see any setting for the screen, but work.
