ATI Radeon X1650 1440*900?

[Leen]

ATI tells me it's supported on Vista starting version 7.2.. Installed the
latest available (version 7.7) of their driver software, but still no
1440*900 resolution for the X1650 on my Vista Ultimate X64.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Does your monitor support that resolution?

Yes. IIyama ProLite E1900WS. It runs 1440*900 on XP. So that is not the
problem.

If your monitor supports it, it would appear to be a driver issue. You
might want to contact ATI tech support.

It does (removed the X1650 and inserted a X550 which gave 1440*900 after
detection and rebooting the system
Just contacted ATI. Now just waiting for more info from them.

Thanks!

Although it seems that a drivers from the ATI website for the X1650 with ATI
chipset is OK, it is NOT.
This X1650 ATI chipset is manufactured by ASUS. And installing the drivers
(**exactly** the same driver version - number as the drivers from the ATI
website, so I was very unsure if this would be the solution for me..) from
the ASUS website gives me 1440*900 (had to set the refreh from 75 to 60 to
make it perfect).
Learned ==> to go to the manufacturer (the one that created this
specificcard)

Thanks for helping!
