I was recently in the market for a high-resolution, 386 laptop, and I
did not find any that went beyond VGA.  You may well have to go to the
"laptop workstation" market.  

There aren't many of these on the street yet, but I recently saw one
very impressive demonstration of the Sony NEWS 3250 lap-denting
laptop.  It has a 1120x780 display on an 11" diag screen.  A little
cramped, maybe, but not really to bad.  The 17 MIPS, 1.8 MFLOPS, 8-36
MB RAM, 240-406 MB disk, UNIX System V Release 4, X11R4, integrated
SCSI and Ethernet, etc should support a most demanding application.
You can get in touch with Sony sales at 800-624-8999 x96.
