As default the native screen resolution of this notebook is 1280x768, but that particular resolution is not to be found in the Video BIOS. To get it working you will need to install the 915resolution program and type in: 915resolution 3c 1280 768 This will then allow you to use the native 1280x768 resolution. However this setting will be forgotten after each boot so you will need a way to automatically run this command at every boot. Fortunately most Linux distributions come with the 915resolution program and include a simple way of achieving this ===== Summary ===== There were no problems in getting this laptop working when used with an up to date Linux distribution. Always run the latest stable distributions. Suspend/Resume and Hibernate work flawlessly on this laptop.
