    I'd like to know if it's possible to get the Intel X3100 to get a resolution of 1024x640, or another resolution of the same widescreen aspect ratio. I'm getting the WXGA display on the 15.4 but sometimes the fonts are a bit small, increasing DPI in WIndows doe shelp - but there are the odd programs that don't play well with this. I could easily switch to 1024x768 or 800x600 but I'd like to keep it 16:10 :D

    It's an odd request, I know :)

    I know Powerstrip, just curious if the X3100 will support that res/ or if the LCD will - I've had problems getting some LCD's to dig some odd res's.

    i have never tried it before, i'm sure it could do it, but don't know how good it would look.
