Ive got a K53E asus with a new 2nd gen core i7 processor with the new HD3000 igp.
Last night when I hooked it up to my old 22in 1650x1050 I thought after getting ride of my desktop I could use this display again. Seems I was wrong. Firstly, in Windows 7 Pro using the Stadard VGA Adapter before installing intels driver, I was able to choose a multitude of display resolutions. 1600x1200 (though I couldnt find my native of 1650x1050), 1920x1080, 800x600 etc. Then I thought, hmm the reason I dont have the external display on native is I didnt install intels drivers.
Installed the driver, checked my new resolutions after restart, now I have two options, 800x600 and 1024xXXX (cant remember now this morning, guessed 768) on the external. The LED laptop screen goes to 1366x768 though, higher than my 1650x1050 extenal monitor. Looked all over the internet and found a couple similar issues but no fixes. I tried changing the monitor driver to different ones and no go. Seems the issue is with the Intel HD3000 graphics driver (as time permits Ill try different versions).
Looked in the graphics driver settings in Intels Program and its the same two choices there too.
Id really like to use the 16x10 external moniter and it worked fine before with my old desktop. I do hope that Intel can acknoledge this problem and work on an update.
If anyone knows how I can edit the driver files to get different display resolutions do tell.
Thanks

I plugged in my old c2d machine with a GMA4500 in it, and lo and behold, all the resolutions for the moniter I use, when connected by the VGA cable are there. The 1680x1050 doesnt work for some reason, moniter says invalid input but the others work that are around this resolution (1600x1200 and similar).
When I uninstall the Intel HD drivers, and just use the windows VGA drivers, they work with exporting the image to 1600x1200 (still dont have my 1650x1050 but close enough). I guess this is an issue with the intel drivers...I hope intel can work on this and issue a fix for the vga to external monitor. It seems the last update to the drivers was september last year or so?

Also, HDMI when plugged into a 1080p tv works fine...so I guess its something to do with the VGA...

This is a link to a proposed solution from Intel. Unfortunately for me this doesnt work with my VGA cable and AL2223W moniter. Still only have two low resolutions to use.
