Sorry, but what do you mean with "how to do that"? What kind of 
information is (not!) in the BIOS that tells X how to change the 
resolution? A function? A memory address? Something else?

I am asking this because, if I have more information about what is 
possibly broken/missing in the BIOS, I can try to contact the 
manufacturer and ask for a fix. Without specific information it is 
difficult to get a useful answer from the manufacturer (COMPAL).

Thanks again.

Sergio
