There is no way to increase the native resolution of an LCD short of replacing it with a new LCD. Think of it this way: in a CRT, resolution is limited by the precision of the guns in the tube; if they're precise enough, the sky is the limit. CRTs are composed of scan lines, and pixels on a CRT are rather nebulous things. Pixels on an LCD are not nebulous. In fact, they are finite and fixed, and accept no argument or "fix" to make them better. At 1024x768, each physical pixel in the LCD is showing your 1 pixel of video. In order to go higher, you'd have to coax a physical pixel to show more than one pixel (4, or some other power of 2 (4?)). If you want more than 1024x768 on a PowerBook (Firewire), you need to use an external video source (a VGA monitor). -- Jeremy Derr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> \ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Life is but the whim of 5 billion cells to be you for a while. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
