I've recently purchased a brand new IBM ThinkPad R40 series notebook.
It has an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics card with 32MB of memory.
When I decrease the screen resolution I've noticed that the screen
fonts start loosing contrast. This happens when I pass from 1280x1024
to 1024x768. Do you know what could be the reason for this and how can
I solve tha problem?

An LCD screen is really only designed for one resolution, and at this
resolution has an individual pixel for every hardware pixel. At lower
resolutions the computer starts interpolate pixels and makes a hash of
everything.

Setting the resolution to the maximum (native resolution of screen) for 1:1
pixels and maximum sharpness.

If you're reducing resolution because screen fonts are too small, go to
display properties, settings>advanced, and then adjust the dpi setting,

Duncan.
