Some of the puffins helped me out on this when I first got my 712. If you press tab
while booting up it will cycle through the videomodes.
It might not work on a 715 i'm not sure. But if it does cycle through untill you
find a usable videomode. (many were there but very fuzzy, in the end 1024x768 was
the ONLY one that worked even half way decent.)
