xp64 and laptop display problems

chessmaster · Mar 27, 2005, 09:21 AM

Anyone know a way to make my desktop fit my screensize?
I have a laptop capable of a resolution 1280x800.
Under xp64 I cannot find that resolution when i select the right MS ATI driver.
1024x768 works, but i want to use the full capability of my display.(TFT 15,4"WXGA).
I know xp64 is still beta, but does anyone know what i can do?
tnx,

Pieter

I havent checked but does powerstrip work under X64? if it does you can make a custom resolution within the program.

it seems to on desktops but I've never tried on a laptop(should work the same?) You have to run it in compatibility mode though...least as I recall.

Anyway you could also get some real ATI drivers and try those. Finding mobile 64bit nvidia drivers was a pain, but I seem to recall that there were plenty of ATI drivers to be found.
