So recently I snagged myself a tiny EEE 701 (Xbox Duke controller for scale):
Installed Windows XP and Puppy Linux 605 on the internal 4GB SSD. Expanded it with a 32GB SD card. A nice little portable machine for older games and light browsing.
All seemed well, however I ran into an issue - it does not support 640x480.
The screen itself is native 800x480 and should scale very well for older games, but games that require it do not work (like Red Alert 2), while others just don't offer that resolution (Unreal Tournament offers 512x384, 640x400 and 800x480, Quake 2 has an option for 640x480, but only windowed).
This resolution actually works if I use an external monitor, but that kind of defeats the purpose of a tiny portable laptop.
So here I am, wondering if anyone here has any suggestions to get 640x480 working? I updated the drivers to the latest ones from intel with no success. Googling just brings up websites and forums that died 10 years ago, along with the EEE line.
