Thanks for your update, and I also have been looking forever on a way to accomplish 1:1 scaling in DOS on my cheap Acer Aspire one netbook (Intel 945 Express internal video, I believe it's the 945GSE chipset?)

Misha, you got further than I, downloaded IEGL tool (127 MB) from Intel's site, but was unable to compile a custom DOS TSR successfully. I see the BIOS code provided in the DOS VBE directories, but can't get this to compile to a TSR using the VBIOS code and Open Watcom compiler v. 1.7.

Is there any chance you can post your compiled DOS binary here, or e-mail me a copy of it? Providing your Intel chipset is the same - Intel 945.

Also, there must be a way to disable scaling at resolutions below 640x480. I get VESA resolutions below that... I will test & troubleshoot the TSR if only I can get a working binary!
