There are some updates here.I just re-installed Vista and now although in the
`Advanced Settings` window of the display settings my graphics controller is
correctly detected,not all of it's capable modes are listed there under `List
all modes`.Now the list of available resolutions goes like this:
(1)At 16 colors:640*480 and 800*600
(2)At 256 colors:640*480,800*600 and 1024*768
(3)At 16-bit(High color):640*480 only.
I desire to have 1024*768 high-color display which I know both my graphics
controller as well as the monitor support very well.So although now my
graphics controller is detected correctly,it's full capabilities are not
being recognised(although I have set the slider for `Hardware acceleration`
to be at the `Full` level in the properties).
Therefore,is there any way I can force the system to change the current
display mode without using the built-in display settings applet even when the
system does not think the graphics controller is capable of that mode?I am
ready to experiment.
