I recently purchased a slightly-used Thinkpad T60 laptop with a 15 inch standard screen, and upgraded the display to a QXGA ( 2048x1536 ) screen. 0.15mm pixels, slightly smaller than an iPhone . Very crisp characters in the xterms. Still learning how to set some things up. Many apps are not designed to work with such high resolution or with "large" fonts. Firefox gets confused, and sometimes the display is slow with webapps like Google Maps. Opera renders better, but has many other issues. I run the machine in 1024x768 double-pixel mode to work with my computer projector. I set up a separate user account to do that, so it does not mess up my usual desktop. The upgrade instructions I followed are here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_a_QXGA_display_in_a_R/T60_or_61 The instructions use the Windoze app "Powerstrip" to rewrite the EDID nvram in the display, and require getting a secret password from the app vendor. Thinkpads require special EDID codes. Perhaps one of the I2Ctools will do the rewrite, but the documentation is poor and I did not have time to figure out what to do. After brief windoze pollution, the machine is running SL5.4 now. If anyone has suggestions for using I2Ctools on the next one I build, or speeding up the radeon driver, or wants help building their own Frankenstein QXGA T60, please contact me. Hopefully, the T60s will last until business users realize they've been defrauded by "wide" (that is, vertically reduced) displays, and demand that manufacturers start making standard-sized displays again.
