It's an Inspiron 1000, rev. A03, serial #18850470553. I couldn't find a date of manufacture on the case. I also checked what Windows thought the video chip was: SiS M650, with resolution 1024x768 (max). Linux says it's an SiS SIS 650, and has no entry among the SIS chips for M650, so I assume that SIS650 and M650 are the same. There are a whole lot of chip-specific parameters that can be set, too; possibly Windows knows how to set them and Linux doesn't, but I don't know how to get Windows to reveal its settings.
Hi Paul, Sorry for the delay, but I was out providing tech support to some exasperating family members. (Grrr.) SiS M650, eh? Here's a great site where you can do some reading: http://www.winischhofer.net/sisdri.shtml I won't be back until late tonight, again, so do what you can and I'll catch up with you then. regards, - Carl -- _______________________________________________________________________ C.
