[WBEL-users] Screen resolution problem

[Ben Nickell]

> I can't choose anything else than :

> Refresh rate = 86Hz

Updating the BIOS helped on at Optiplex gx270 with integrated Intel 865 
graphic. If there is not a bios update for your computer that fixes it 
you'll have to use an extra patch availalble here...

or check here which describes the problem on fedora core 1 on dell
should be similar on whitebox
