Hi,

Thanks for your attention. Regarding the BIOS, I am using the latest 
version available.

Sorry to ask that but, if the BIOS is broken, why, under WindowsXp, the 
LCD works in 1024x768?  Why, with X11, the CRT works in 1024x768? Should 
not the broken BIOS prevent the LCD from working under WindowsXP and the 
CRT under X11? I am not sure if I understood correctly the role of the 
BIOS in the proccess.

Also, can´t I override this ModeAttribute? Can´t I set it to 0x9b? Would 
this fix the problem?

Thanks again.

Regards,

Sergio
