Hi Roland,
I have the ZLXp-E2 (PBXGA-BA) in my AS200 which is 32 bit, and my
settings are different than yours, both in the manual and practice.
My manual lists setting 4 as 1152x900 @ 66, and setting 15 as
<reserved>. My empirical data suggests that setting 4 is as the
manual states, and setting 15 is another 1280x1024 (didn't pay
attention to refresh). As I have a nice big monitor, I would love to
be able to use 1600x1200 but it doesn't look possible with my
hardware.
(setting 4)
