Monitor problems

[Guardian 0]

Hi guys:

 

just bought an IBM P96 19" monitor capable of 1600x1200@85 hz

...but i can't go beyond 1280x1024@60 hz

the drivers from IBM don't help at all

Win XP insist in limit me at 1280.....

 

Any clue how fix the problem?

Is there any manner to customize the monitor settings?

 

thanks in advance

what video card?

drivers?

Have you unticked the box that say "Hide modes this monitor can't display" (or words to that effect?).

 

Otherwise as mentioned, I'd point the finger at your video drivers.

your video card myabe can not go that high??

 

i know some det i had with my g4 and my 19' sony trintron - i could go 1600 x 1200 - 75mhz - but oher drives, i could only get 60mhz, or i could only do a 1360 x 768 max res with 60mhz.

 

 

try the nvidia refresh rate fix? - get new dets?

i had the same card and it worked fine

when it fried some resolutions stopped working.

 

for grins try the leadtek drivers instead.
