widescreen monitor
Has anyone had any luck with 16x10 monitors? In two cases so far, I haven't been able to get wide screen to work. The current is the most troublesome, if only because I spend $1,000 for the monitor, a Sharp. I inserted the manufacturer's disk and found the monitor, but going through sax2, I could only get it to work (if memory serves) 1200x768, which is much than my 1280x1024 19" 3x4 monitor I am now using. There were large black spaces at both sides, and the resolution was just crummy. This monitor should be good for 1820*1024. I was using the analog 9-pin (as in VGA) cable. Both the card and the monitor have digital ports. Would it help to hook them up that way? -- You know the great thing about TV?

It might for the EDID detection, but I doubt it. Probably the most important thing is to have the proper modeline for the unstandard resolution (widescreeen). B=)
