Yes, well, on my motherboard, that doesn't seem to do the trick (yes, I
noticed 1 = off and 0 = on!). I think there must be some jumper-pin that is
not good or so.

If I change the jumpers, sometime there actually changes something, (my very
good 17 in monitor says "Signal Out of Range"), and on the other settings, is
is just plain (?) 1280.

As soon as the kernel is loaded, the font changes to something bigger. Isn't
possible to change the resolution with a program or parameter or so? I realy
need to drive this thing on my old monitor!
