If the resolution is not contained in the Video BIOS, the Windows driver doesn't allow you to switch to it. The general problem of this particular Windows driver is that it relys on the Video BIOS if it comes to resolution capabilitities. This is at least what it did for me, when I enabled 1900 x 1200 on this chipset, which was previously limited by 1600 x 1200. Once you know it does, then just include EDID support in the driver and your display should work in its native resolution. You can check whether it does so with this tool: I would expect the display to promote it's resolutions by means of EDID/DDC2 to the notebook. I am surprised to read that you were required to create a custom resolution. Also Fn + LCD/CRT switching on the keyboard didn't work anymore.

I don't know all of them - some are mentioned in the links above.

As already said the IEGD drivers do have some disadvantages. Great to read that at least the resolution thing works for you by now. I installed the latest drivers (and tried those inbetween to no avail) and this seems to overcome this problem but there seems to be no support for my screen size. Everything seems to be fine underneath as i can shut down with no problems but no screen until i reboot. The basic driver that came with the computer, regularily when i open a browser window or video window, the screen goes stripey grey. I find it hard to accept that Intel would not support this screen size in these drivers after 2004. Ive searched all intel drivers and the give the same driver for the GM and GME. Is there a driver i cannot find for this screen size.

How can i change it to support my monitor (Digital Flat Panel Monitor 1280 x 800)

The only resolution that is usable is 1280 x 768, which fits the screen, but the text and icons are slightly distorted. Hi, i've exhauseted all search options all over the net.Īll Intel Extreme Graphics 2 drivers after 2004 do this: Itsays in display>settings that monitor is digital flat monitor 1280 x 1024, but my screen is 1280 x 800 (XGA) and there is no option to change that.
