I'm trying to set up a secondary monitor for my new laptop but i'm having a few problems. I have a 20" monitor with a native resolution of 1680x1050 that I want to use to extend my desktop, the laptop has a resolution of 1366x768 and has an ATI 5650 internal graphics card.
When I connect the monitor via VGA to the laptop I'm unable to select a res of 1680x1050 in control panel but can select 1440x900, obviously this doesn't look too crisp. I've tried changing the res in CCC to 1680x1050 but this forces the refresh rate to 30i Hz (?) and the res seen on the monitor changes to something funny. If I try to change the refresh rate from to 30i to 60Hz it sets the res to 1600x1200.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
