if i resize the screen size to 800x600 all it seems to do is just shrink the display to 800x600 pixels and i'm left with a horrible 1" black border around the screen. Similarily, if i increase it up to 1280x1024 then it just stretches the desktop and i have to move the mouse to the edge of the screen to pan to see the other bit of the desk top.

The graphics chip is an obscure chip called a NeoMagic MagicGraph256AV which took me forever to find the right driver. i dont remember if i had this problem with just the generic drivers windows installed...

I have the same problem with a Dell Insiron 8100 lap top as well.
