Alex, thank you for your note! Now I'm checking for another configuration.
It's Intel GMA 900. I am afraid the same facts are true for this integrated
graphics card, aren't they? Do I need also the BIOS information about this
new machine? Unfortunately the dealer man at Dell couldn't help me sharing
any information about the BIOS. :-(

Or, in general, does all Intel driver look for the BIOS settings when
communicating to the monitor?

Thank you in advance.

Zoltan
