OK, I've got a Dell P4 3GHZ HT, 1GB DDR, Intel "onboard" graphics (not a gaming machine), Dell's 17" standard Monitor.

When booting from CD the only option is 640x480, using "Cheats" (screen=1024x76 the screen resolves to the requested res, then reverts back after reading the card as vesa during the boot process. Can't edit the files (cfg?) on the CD.

If you read the forums here (and at Kanotix) you'll see that this problem (or very close variants) is pretty common, I was just asking if a fix was in the works or not. (It doesn't recognize many cards, especially "onboard" cards) It's no big deal other than giving a poor first impression for noobs like me trying Linux for the first time
