   I have just OS/2 Version 2.0 and OS/2 Advanced LAN 3.0 on an IBM model 
   95.  The install sets up for an XGA display, which looks like it can 
   handle 1024*768.  The monitor is an IBM 8518, altho I have a NEC 4FG 
   available I can switch from another computer, if need be. The IBM docs 
   I have do not tell me the max. resolution of the 8518 (they refer to 
   a tech ref doc not supplied), nor how to switch the XGA to a higher 
   res. from the 640*480 that seems to have been set up.  Any info on 
   either? The last may be a FAQ, in which case simply point me to where 
   I should look.

   Thanks in advance.... :->

I believe that an 8518 is not capable of anything greater than
640x480.  I remember it being described as being an 8515 without the
capability of doing 8514/a or XGA...  I don't remember where, but
since I worked at IBM last summer when it was introduced, I suspect it
was then...
