hi all, i was wondering, i have a lcd tv and have so far created a driver for it that allows me to use the 1360x768 native rez of the screen in windows with a 7600 gfx card.

here is the drivers inf file pasted:
******************************************************
[Version]
Signature="$CHICAGO$"
Class=Monitor
ClassGUID={4d36e96e-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

[Manufacturer]
%MFG%=MonMfg

[MonMfg]
%MODEL%=Mon.Install

[Mon.Install]
DelReg=DEL_CURRENT_REG
AddReg=Mon.AddReg,RES,DPMS

[Mon.AddReg]
HKR,%MODE%,Mode1,,%RANGE%

[DEL_CURRENT_REG]
HKR,MODES
HKR,,MaxResolution
HKR,,DPMS

[RES]
HKR,,MaxResolution,,%MAXRES%

[DPMS]
HKR,,DPMS,,1

[Strings]
MFG="Yusmart"
MODEL="Yusmart 32 Inch HD LCD"
MAXRES="1360,768"
MODE="MODES\1360,768"
RANGE="30.0-80.0,50.0-60.0,+,+"
******************************************************

now the above driver works but i have to use coolbits to make some advanced changes to get the display to look perfect. this is all fine when i use an Nvidia card since it has the feature built into its drivers to fine tune the rez. but for ati cards its a problem and power strip has to be used to do the job.
here are the power strip settings:

now my question is: is there a way to integrate those powerstrip settings into the monitor driver to allow all cards to work perfectly without the need for third party apps to control the resolution settings.

can this be done via the monitor driver? or is it no chance at all since its tied down to the gfx card only?
