No, you cannot do it with a via epia at this time. You need an add-on graphics card (AGP or PCI) plus powerstrip to do it. Even with those, there has been mixed success over the years.

I'm quite certain the bus ( AGP/PCI ) shouldn't matter if it's the same chipset. I'll post my timings and we would be glad if you would let us know your results, I'm sure. The PCI's will be more expensive though...

And millec, I tried that as well and aslo failed.

Rest of Photos.

Oh yeah, this resolution greatly improves the touchscreen accuracy, just a note

Wholy *****! It WORKED!

800x480! I'm using an ATI Radeon X800 (Powercolor) with the display hooked up as secondary. Using PowerStrip.

Someone should tell Xenarc to update their FAQ...

interesting enough, I just re-read my lili 7" manual and the res in question is not listed at all.

my old compaq armada 6500 pII300 actually would suport this res. too bad its so slow.

My timings worked for your Radeon? It's kick-butt huh! I love it and I'm sure you do too a lot bette than the alternate 800X600.

I didn't want to have to go for a third party program that's why I was leaning more towards the Nvidia because of the custom res option they offered I new sooner or later someone would have gotten it to work.

This is exactly what Xenarc has posted in their FAQ right now though...
