Hi! In advance еxcuse for the bad English. I have MB ASUS K8VM-MX with the integrated video card S3Unichrome pro, which doesn't support widescrin resolutions. Whether probably having updated a BIOS and \or the video card driver to solve the given problem. If yes - that as. Can replace videobios with another similar MB? And if it is possible - more in detail.

VIA/S3 and Asus are not bothered by the fact this onboard chip does not support 1440x900 because it is already old and they cannot make money out of it.

You have 2 options

1) run Linux instead of windows
2) buy a separate graphics card that does support this resolution.

I think the videobios should work regardless of what flavour main system bios is used.

What if this thing was put on a separate videocard?

Do you have the AMI-bios with the new award vbios? Then we can post it on the page of patched bioses.
