5there you can find latest sources and boot files posted by LeBidou, as well as most
6of the feedback and project history. Source can also be found, in a more or less
7up to date form on AutoResolution branch and CleanCut folder under my branch;
8as of this writing i'm considering those as "obsolete", replaced by what i have at
9the moment on Chazi folder.

13in fact, the first post is the best explanation you can get on how the patch works,
14with the difference that the patch does it "on the fly" while booting, in an "Auto"
15way (hence the AutResolution name) using the resolution retrieved from the display's
16EDID or provided with "Graphics Mode" argument.
17But, don't stay only with the first post! I won't get into technical details, simply
18because i don't have the knowledge to. All i do is try to keep the patch working with
19latest Chameleon changes and that's obviously because i use it :)
20Will add more info with time if it's justifiable.

22Enough talk...
23What can this patch do for you and when?
24
25Well, if you never experienced booting with your native resolution, or worse, you don't
26even have it after login, there's a chance that this can help you, providing you have
27the luck of having the right hardware. If it works, it will provide you with native
28resolution even if you don't have any graphics acceleration at all; remember, this has
29nothing to do with "Graphics Enabler" or depends on it in any way.
30Intel chipset is needed; the newer the worse :P read the topics and check the list below.
31Graphics card, it depends... ATI's are the best supported, but BIOS and motherboard have
32something to say so, the best is try it.
