Subject: What is the best linux compatible laptop
I ran into this on the 425cds. The display actually can use better graphics
than the default XFree86 allows. If you look at the documentation for the
video card (mine was a chips and technologies CT65550). You will see an option
to manually increase the highest allowable dot clock. I think it is "DacSpeed"
so in you video card setting of the XF86Config file, you would add

DacSpeed maximum-dot-clock-from-manual
(ex. DacSpeed 50).

Hope this helps.
