1680X1050 widescreen on M6/7000?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to get support for widescreen resolution (external monitor) on a M6/7000 radeon mobility card (in a Sony Vaio Z1-RMP laptop). I received the WS 20" LCD external monitor as a present and now it seems I'm not able to use it at all!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I don't mind installing some modded drivers - as long as they can get the laptop to display the WS resolution properly).


Cheers,
SJ

2 Solutions

You can modify the default driver or install Omega's Radeon driver.


Install Omega Driver

There's a video playback bug. Read http://www.omegadrivers.net/ati/ati_faq.php.


Modify Default Driver

Get the driver from your notebook's manufacturer.

Extract the driver but don't install it.

Edit the *.inf file.
e.g. C:\extracted_driver\ATI\atiipag.inf

Add "HKR,, DALRULE_ADDNATIVEMODESTOMODETABLE, %REG_DWORD%,1" to "[ati2mtag_SoftwareDeviceSettings]" section.

Code:
[ati2mtag_SoftwareDeviceSettings]
HKR,, DDC2Disabled,                         %REG_DWORD%,    0
