Programatically changing resolution on E800 first edition
Posted: Oct 14, 2004 @ 7:29pmI don't think the e805 display hardware is capable of running multiple resolutions/modes.
I thought the screen was always VGA, but the OS detects older apps (by something in their PE header) and makes them think they are running on a QVGA device. The OS then performs a pixel doubling stretch blit under the hood.
There's more on this on MSDN (see "Legacy Support"):
