inspiron 4000 - maximum tft panel resolution...

​I have an inspiron 4000 running win2000.​

​At the office i have it connected to an APR, with a monitor attached. At home I use the tft screen and an external mouse.​

​I have the driver file R54215.EXE installed which is the latest video driver I could find for win2000 in the inspiron 4000 video section.​

​When connected to the APR I can run a quite nice resolution of 1280x1024 ​​but when using the tft display, every time I choose something other than 1024x768, the resolution appears to stay the same, but the display moves to a different portion of the screen - as if the display centers on another part of the screen, meaning the start menu and half the task bar is off the screen.​

​Is there a way to have a larger resolution than 1024x768 when using the tft screen?​

​I realise the inspiron 4000 is an old machine so I think it might be time for an upgrade soon anyway but just wondered if this was possible?​

​I've seen linux drivers in the video section of the inspiron 4000 drivers page that say in the description that they will display 1280x1024 - anything like that for windows 2000?​

​Thanks​

OK it appears as if there is nothing I can do about it.

The native TFT resolution on my inspiron 4000 is 1024x768.

That's pretty rubbish innit!

Yes, there were SXGA and UXGA 4100's made, i think.  But 1024 is what you get on the 4000.  Anyways, you couldn't do allot in that high resolution with that wimpy 8mb ATI Rage M3
