Unlike Viglen's Envy 17ES, it's unable to perform adequately at
1280x1024, managing only 60Hz which is really flickery. 1152x864
is just about adequate at 70Hz. In this respect, I guess it's
comparable with the Envy 17DS which is all Viglen now supply at
this size.
But my wife uses one; here's a summary of XF86Config:
