| 16067 | 2001-07-24 10:24:00 | I have a HP Vectra XM series 4 Pentium 166. The monitor is an Olivetti DSM 27-140LE. My problem is that I cannot get the monitor resolution above 640 x 480. I have 2 of these monitors - both work fine with an old Olivetti PCS 42P (Cirrus Logic onboard video). The HP has onboard S3 video. I've downloaded the most up to date S3 driver - why cant I get at least 800 x 600? |
