Hi Rick!

Thanks again for the reply. I did the changes on the RAM and the depth,
however, the maximum resolution I can achieve is still 1024x768, and
this resolution doesn't accomodate correctly with the monitor. On the
log file I see that it's taking the correct memory amount but it never
tries the resolutions I specified? Here's the configuration I have so
far, does it look good?

I don't know if it's okay to send attachments to the list, if it's so, I
can send the Xorg logfile. It's kinda big :) On a side note. I did
notice that Xorg detected the panel size as 1280x800 which looks about
right. That's actually the resolution I'm looking to use.

Thanks again for the help!
