I have exactly the same question. OI allows me to select maximum resolution of 1024x768 only. LCD monitor has slightly better resolution (1152x1024?). The monitor has a VGA connector, and videocard has a DVI. I believe that my videocard is capable of supporting much higher resolutions than

A little off topic because of running as guest in vbox on windows 7 64bit. I've done two installs of oi -b 151_a8. Both since updated to 151_9, but the phenomena was there right from the start. Once the install is over during the first round of settings I have found that one vm has possible
