Re: XFree86 on Thinkpad at 800x600

[dave pratt <djp@futures.bt.co.uk>]

For me the key was finding out about the "ps2" program in DOS,

boot to clean dos (not full Win95 dos) - i think F5 does this but I've
modified msdos.sys to give a menu,

ps2 mode3x on
and then Loadlin, etc

This gives me 800x600, but the kernel still gets confused over the number of
columns in console mode, unless I "vga=ask", after which it seems to be better
for some strange reason. With the right XF86Config you then get 800x600
Xwindows.

Cheers
