Higher res?

Is there a way to trick my laptop into allowing higher res without goddamn screen panning?

or is some sort of non-passable visible pixel limit?

get off of your sis integrated graphics and get a video card

I'm planning on it, but for the moment I don't have the money.

is there some driver update I can download?
I'm using xp on a thinkpad t40.

how do i download more ram?

Bahaha, it has nothing to do with drivers dumbass. An LCD screen does not work like a CRT; pixels are a fixed size on an LCD screen. If your maximum resolution is 1024x768, it's because there are literally only that many pixels manufactured on the screen itself.

truth

tx u asshole :D

It's also like that on a CRT to some extent. Can't go higher than 1024

Lol, what? CRT's don't have a "horizontal resolution" other than the dot pitch and maximum bandwidth limit. They have a flexible vertical resolution (then again, limited by the dot pitch) within a range, which is limited by the max/min horizontal frequency, which in turns gives how many frames a second can you draw, which are also limited (but quite openly) by the max/min vertical frequency.

In your average low-end 17" CRT (69 K max hfreq), the following modes are (examples of what's) possible, and they all look sharp: 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x960, 1280x1024, 1400x1050, 1500x1120, 2048x1024, 2048x1120, ...

average low end monitor will not go beyond 1280x1024

above average low end monitor will never go beyond 1600x1200

Because manuals and vendors say so?

An average low end CRT monitor easily does any, or at worst most of the modes I said, and of course, it won't do 1200 lines at 60 Hz, that'd work at 56 Hz at best and it sucks. And like I said, horizontal resolution matters little.

Enjoy your 40-column screens
