I picked up a P3-based Dell X200 recently, and it has a nice 1024x768 screen, and reasonable performance. With crazii's AC97 SBEMU, it could be a great DOS gaming laptop, except that the i830 video doesn't seem to do all the standard video modes very well. For instance, Epic Pinball looks fine on the title and menu screens, but it has a ton of blank lines when the playfield comes up.

I've looked at the VESA compatibility utilities, and tried SciTech DD, but they don't support anything as new as the i830. I'd think that the 830 would be very similar to the i740, which they do support, and it might just be a simple changing of PCI IDs, but I don't know how to go about that without the source to DD/UniVBE.

Has anyone else tried this?
