How.4 can I run in a resolution that isn't listed??

Guru · 7 Feb 2008 at 23:49

I'm on my laptop which has a 15.4" display running at a native res of 1680x1050

When I'm tired I struggle to read stuff, how can I change it to the next one down? 1440x???? (can't remember the second bit)

1680x1050 is the only selectable widescreen resolution at the moment. How can I get more in the list?

Ideally I'd like all the resolutions that my 226BW does

Cheers,

G

oh yeah it's on an ati 9200 gfx card.

Update your graphics driver with ATI's latest release?

1440x900 is probably what you are thinking of.

Might want to see if your touchpad is by synaptics and if so install the synaptics touchpad driver since it can tell the difference between your palms and fingers on the touchpad, and then typing is actually possible. You'd think they come pre-installed but they often don't.

the problem with running it not at the native res, is it can look crap
try changing the size of the text

Thank you!! It works much better now I've not accidentally moved it since you told me that

The drivers have some other awesome features too

Ta!
