  • T60 Panorama Wide Screen

    From baden.kudrenecky@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 4 14:47:30 2020
    Eureka!!

    After years seeking a wide screen solution for my external (1920x1080) monitor connected to my T60's, I finally found the solution. Desiring a better display was the primary reason I had bought several ArcaOS subscriptions without success.

    I recently bought a T60 with ATI 1400 video. This morning, I finally realised all the resolutions available were 4:3, and I recalled something about display extenders. I searched, and finally found that Robert Lalla had written an ATOM (and Intel) BIOS
    extender, and after some more searching, I came across:

    http://www.dreamlandbbs.com/gfd/sysdisp/wdscr08b.zip

    This was the precise solution, and I am indebted to Robert. The only small issue is the display extends slightly wider than the monitor.

    thanks,
    Baden

    SNAP supports custom resolutions since a long time, I think the tool
    is named gamon.

    Also the recent Panorama versions provide custom resolutions. So,
    apparently, you're not using ArcaOS.

    I tried using SciTech SNAP, and it was maybe ten times slower, if that. "Unusable" would gratuitous.

    I am sorry, you caught me! I am actually using iOS 14.3 on a XT, and I only post to an obscure usegroup for an obsolete OS to see if OII (Overly Intelligent Individuals), such as yourself, are paying attention.

    I also wonder if the following discussions might have any relevance?
