Hi,
I have replaced my dead monitor with new widescreen LCD ViewSonic VX2025 with native resolution 1680x1050 (I think it is equal to Apple Cinema Display and other 20.1" analogs).
The problem is that SAX cannot set resolution over 1280x1024 no matter what I have tried. I even deleted x.org configs, reinstalled x.org, sax2, nVidia 9629 drivers and even reset BIOS.
VX2025 is not listed in SAX hardware profiles, and unfortunately, SAX has a bug and it cannot read driver CD neither from Combo neither from DVD-R I have. I could copy vx2025.inf file, but I cannot find where.

I bought the VX2025WM 2 days ago and it is running very, very well, thank you on 10.1.
And it is running at the native resolution of 1680x1050.
Start sax2 and go to monitor change where you select the LCD--> default option -- which is equivalent to VESA--> default -- and there you will find the only entry of 1680x1050@60Hz. Select this and.... the Viewsonic will work like magic.
(BTW, the monitor is recognised automatically in 10.2 RC1.)
A point: you will need to drop the gamma for the monitor (Personal Settings>Display>Gamma) from the 1.0 down to whatever level you feel comfortable with -- I went down to 0.70 gamma -- because the screen is *too* bright :-( . Also, select sRGB colour rather than the default 6500K to get "proper" colours. Finally, use the digital connection to get better picture but bear in mind that with digital connection you lose 2 monitor controls because they are not needed (read the User Manual on disc).
