Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm wondering if there's anyway I could get it to show the 1024x768 without scaling - that is, centered in the display with a black border around it.

I kind of doubt it. Of course, the iBook is never gonna output more than 1024x768, so you'd have to tell the monitor to use the higher resolution while still accepting 1024x768 input. So my guess is it depends on the design of the monitor - if that mode is available, or if you can somehow override the default (which is to go to whatever the input resolution is) and use the higher resolution.

eta: If this is possible, I'd expect you'd have to adjust the monitor itself to go into this mode.

Hey. New board.

Yeah, I'm thinking it'd have to be in the display controls. Which it isn't. Sigh, guess i'll just use the monitor for watching movies on, then (no pain then, it's only text that I can't deal with.)

DAMMIT!

My frelling disk error problems causing startup failure have FUCKING RETURNED.

I don't know if it's a problem with the main hard drive, or a problem with the motherboard, but I cannot afford EITHER.

And CHKDSK is now only getting through about 40% of the disk before telling me that the volume appears to have one or more unrecoverable problems. This just started happenening now, after I tried to install an IRC client, and the client wouldn 't launch.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Wow, Tivo are a bit behind the times. I heard about the discontinuation of VCRs months ago. It's why you can now pick up a decent dvd-recorder for less than $AUD300 nowadays.

sean ... the fact you are also having problems with the ps/2 ports, along side the hdd problem, strongly suggests a faulty mobo.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Sean, I dismember. Did you ever try another power supply?

No, this one was brand new, bought because I'd previously been having power supply problems.

Ah, okay

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Speaking of power supplies, a loud cracking noise just came from my main machine, followed by the odor of electrical smoke. That can't be good.

Um... Yeah. Unless you got some new after-market tesla coil add-on.

Whoops. That's the magic smoke. Without it, your computer can't compute well.
