| I have a Dell Inspiron 9300, ATI Mobility Radeon and

| type stuff)
You surely checked the recommended values indicated in the man
of the monitor furnished with your machine ?

| I've tried all the obvious but after looking at the
| log file, I saw the bit about reading the Video BIOS.

| resolution.
I cannnot say much more, as a relatively newbie user.
Once checked in the monitor manual, maybe you could
check information about what's available on your motherboard's
website to flash the BIOS.
I'm not an expert, so someone will perhaps have other infos
here about that. I just know flashing can destroy a motherboard
if not done the right way.
