    I'm running into a problem getting X-Windows to run with a decent
    resolution on a Dell GX 270 with the Intel 865 Graphics Cards (64 MB
    video ram). I have seen messages regarding the BIOS revision and tried
    flashing the BIOS with A02 and A01 with no luck. Right now, I have 3
    machines (all identical) with one BIOS being A01, another A02, and the
    third A03.

    I can only get 1024x768 with 8 bit color depth running. Anything higher
    gives the error "No Video BIOS modes for chosen depth". I'm running
    Enterprise Workstation v3. Does anyone know how to fix this?
