Hello;
I'm running a Trident CYBER9385 chipset on an IBM ThinkPad 760XL. After playing musical partitions with Windows and BeOS 5 PE (can't boot off the CD-ROM to do a full-install on this make of laptop :-(), I finally got BeOS installed and booting without any outside support.
Naturally, it was all grey, so, I followed the common-denominator advice and grabbed Vesa Accepted. No luck - still greyscale. Thing of that is, I'm almost 100% positive that the graphics chipset listed above is VESA 2 compliant.
Does anyone know for sure if the Trident CYBER9385 used by IBM for earlier ThinkPads is or is not VESA 2 compliant? And if it is as I believe, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might get the color system up and the display scaled to 800x600 (the maximum resolution for this model of display panel)?
Actually - the color's the important part. If I can get the color up, I can live with 640x480.
Thanks.

During the boot screen at startup hold the space bar down and you can choose boot options. One of them is video mode. You can probably get it to run a reasonable SVGA mode that way. Hope the prior link works out though.
