i know i can do that in RR, but what about when i want to use windows on the whole setup? i of course only use wordpad and firefox.

when i hooked the 701 to my laptop, it still wouldnt display 800x600. is it going to have any problems displaying anything lower than that? how would it come back? chips cant heal them selves. theyre not the potatoe kind or are they a transformer kind. ok, i think im blabbing on now haha. ADH.....oo! a squirell!

Yeah.........ah................whatever that last bit was about.

The video driver needs to be set to 800x480, which is the native resolution of the monitor. Mine is set up the same way, no display issues.............
