Is it possible to increase LCD past its native resolution?

[tx40]

On the following IBM spec sheet, the "Video Adapter" section at the bottom says that the Intel Extreme Graphics 2 video adapter can drive the X40's built-in LCD display at higher resolutions than the 1024x768 native resolution, under a "panning mode". (Footnote 1)

On other notebooks I've used, you can select a higher resolution than the lcd can handle, then when you move the mouse towards the edge of the screen, it pans around the "virtual screen".

The only problem is I can't set the resolution of my X40 to anything higher than 1024x768.

I've looked at the Windows XP Display properties, the Intel Extreme Graphics properties, the IBM Presentation Director application, all to no avail.

Is there any way to enable this "panning mode" on my X40?

Help!!

Just a guess, but PowerStrip should let you do it.

Thank you. Yes, I am able to select a resolution greater than 1024x768 via Powerstrip.

I wonder nevertheless if there is another way to do this that doesn't rely on third party software.
