Default nvidia/hannsg - 19" wide, getting 1440x900


Any success on the above (subject)?

I still can't get over 1280x1024, and usually have to resort to about
1280x768 to get the aspect ratio correct.

This is x64 Vista Release.

Try the nVidia Beta drivers v96.33, this was the version before the
RC2 version out now.

You may also try using the standard driver in Vista.
Now, if neither the standard Vista drivers, or the updated frivers from your
hardware manufacturer (nVidia or ATI) do the trick, you can get an
application called Powerstrip from EnTech Taiwan (either the full registered
Version (V3.70) or the evaluation mode, which will help you get the
resolution you are seeking.
Me, I am running a 7600GS and a 19"W monitor at 1400x900, using the current
nVidia driver for RC2 and Powerstrip. SIDENOTE: If you choose to use
powerstrip, you will notice a performance jump, because it does overclock
your GPU. A plus for Vista.

Hope this helps :-)

FYI;

The temporary work-around I thought would work worked : I used a regular VGA
cable to connect to the monitor instead of the DVI port cable. For some
reason, that lets me get 1440x900.
