Questions of quality [interpolation, etc.] aside, is it possible? Can it be done? Make it go beyond 1152 x 768.

DonŽt believe itŽs possible. The 1152x768 is the highest physical available resolution on your machine. Even if youŽd somehow (firmware hacking, etc.) could have the option to run the videosignal in higher res. youŽd get drastical loss of quality because of the sharpness of LCD displays (pixulated, nearly unreadable fonts).

LCD's aren't like CRT's. It's impossible to display more than 1,152 by 768 pixels on the first-generation TiBook panels.
