    Daniel you seem to be right, as till now, no one of those solutions
    for me worked, I always end up or with a non recognised option or a
    small square 640x480 pixels where I see the console. I need to try
    still the vbetest thing what Mr. Daplas proposed.
    
    In any case this laptop has an screen of 16:10 aspect ratio and I
    belive would be good
    to have those modes in the vesafb driver.
