I used to think that 855res do that (change the bios resolution)...
I'm kind of confused around here. There is another way to do that?
I looked over the bios in the startup, but I didn't find anything.

It's kind of frustrating trying to run an opengl screensaver and not been 
able to fix it. :-(

I'm the only one with this problem??
Can be problem of the HW? I really doubt so, but I don't know what else to 
do.
