   Thanks. I've got it running now at 1024 @ 60Hz, connected from my laptop to=   
    a 36" tv and it's doing fine, very readable. Btw, I've loaded Describe 5 u=   
   nder Warp 4 and it's a really great set up. I'm writing final exams with it=   
    and printing to my old Laserjet 4M+.

Thanks. I've got it running now at 1024 @ 60Hz, connected from my laptop       to a 36" tv and it's doing fine, very readable. Btw, I've loaded Describe 5       under Warp 4 and it's a really great set up. I'm writing final exams with it       and printing to my old Laserjet 4M+.

It will not, but OS/2 always boots at 640x480 during the first phase.       
       You can always press Alt-F1 when "OS/2" appears in the top left corner
       and then choose VGA and other options from a menu. If you select VGA,
       you need to reinstall SNAP. You can boot to text mode that way and
       configure SNAP. The problem is that SNAP can't handle the resolution of
       wide screens; up to 1280x1024 is fine.
