--- How do I get my notebook to run at 800x600 in X? --- Many notebook computers use a NeoMagic graphics chipset, which isn't supported by XFree86 yet. So they get stuck with 640x480 VGA16 mode, which looks VERY BAD on this chipset.
The solution: Grab the NeoMagic X server from here: http://www.mnsinc.com/js/Neomagic.html It works fairly well, and provides 800x600 64k-color mode. Just grab the precompiled binary, copy it into /usr/X11R6/bin, and edit your XF86Config according to the web page's instructions. The other alternative is to buy the expensive AcceleratedX server. From the 10-minute demo version, it works very well. But many people cannot afford to spend $200 or $400 for an X server.
