The main problem is the inconsistency between the offered settings and the missings effects of these settings. And do you know that for sure that there is a limitation of the VBIOS? On that system was running Windows previously - of course with a working Windows driver - without any problems. If a driver was able to operate the on board controller with the desired mode the VBIOS should be able to do the same. I don't think that there is a VBIOS limitation. I believe that there is a OS problem. Unfortunately hwinfo --gfxcard displays not enough information for me to decide if there is a VBIOS limitation: 15: PCI 0f.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.301] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_5333_8901 Unique ID: _+Pw.zRTkGjKA2qF SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0f.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:0f.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "S3 86C775 Trio64V2/DX, 86C785 Trio64V2/GX" Vendor: pci 0x5333 "S3 Inc."
