Hello everybody!

I've just bought a brand new Acer Aspire One 522 Netbook (Model P0VE6 / C6DKK) and I want to use it with Serato Scratch. This Netbook is based on the new AMD C-60 APU (Dual Core 1.33 GHz, integrated good Radeon GPU). After some upgrades (SSD + good 4GB Corsair RAM memory bank), it's not so far away from the required specs for running Serato Scratch fairly.

The only problem I have is the screen resolution: 1024x600. I've tried all I've found on the internet to make it working (editing the registry to support hidden graphical modes, trying to enable screen panning,..) but unlike Intel based solutions, I cannot make my screen extrapolate to a bigger resolution...

In fact, the only solution I've found is to connect a bigger external monitor, opening Serato and then to disconnect the screen letting Serato Scratch opened on the Netbook screen. The Serato window will be truncated, but you can use it like that, the Netbook power seems to be good enough (not tested on the field now... I'll update this thread)

Well, assuming that the next gen of Netbooks CPU will be more and more powerful (Intel Atom @ 2GHz still exists, next gen AMD APU will be even faster), and that they maybe won't upgrade the screen resolution on cheapest models, I think that it could be a good idea to begin to support this screen resolution (guys... it's just a matter of 168px...) or if you really don't want to, please, add an option, or just a command line execution flag on the Serato Scratch executable to bypass the check.... ;-)

I know some people will say "Why are you using a cheap notebook for mixing? It's the hearth of the system, you must choose a good one...". In fact, I've used Serato Scratch for 4 years now, and I have two good laptops to work with. But for some kind of informal parties, where you party as well, I do much prefer to take my cheap Acer than my expensive Lenovo. (A spilled beer if very frequent there... I think you know what I mean... :-D)

Thanks for reading, and sorry for my poor English.
