    Hey guys,

    I just got a new T61 with an intel x3100 graphics. I got aero to run properly etc.. but I can't seem to change the resolution. It seems like its stuck at 1280x800 and I want to change it to 1440 x 900. Is it possible?

    Thanks

    Your screen will only go as high as its native resolution, which I'm guessing is WXGA. What's your machine type?

    What happens when you try to change it? Can you move the dial to WXGA+ resolution? Does it reset back to WXGA or something?
