Hi again - Just to let you all know that I managed to solve the issue myself. This is what I did. I copied over the Raw EDID and set it up like at http://isnwiki.jot.com/WikiHome/Articles/111111431. Found the DTD, copied it to the igxp32.inf file as the 5 option. Set the number of options from 0 to 5, saved over the old igxp32.inf file and ran the setup.
After the restart the resolution could be found. Much respect to Archibael and thanks...T

Great news, Thomas. I'll admit I shuddered when I saw the raw EDID in your first message, but you evidently did exactly what I would have done anyway, and did it well. :)

[thomas_jensen]

I now have a user who complains that the resolution makes the text too small... So I have tried to also add a 1440x900 resolution but it is not just changing the resolution in the igxp32.inf file.

HKR,, DTD_5,%REG_BINARY%, 21,39,90,30,62,1A,27,40,68,B0,36,00,DA,28,11,00,00,1C,37,01 ;1680x1050@60 works perfect

HKR,, DTD_1,%REG_BINARY%, 21,39,A0,30,52,84,27,30,68,B0,36,00,DA,28,11,00,00,1C,37,01 ;1440x900@60 does NOT work!!

Any ideas?!?

[Aaron_B_Intel]

Yeah, you're sending it 77Hz refresh. The refresh is reverse of byte 0 and 1 divided by total horizontal * total vertical:

(3921h) / (5A0h + 230h) * (384h + 27h) = 77Hz

The driver probably thinks that refresh is too high for your monitor at that resolution, so it's not even coming up.

Try

97 29 A0 D0 51 8420 30 50 98 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 1C

Check the registry to make sure it "takes" and populate it manually if it doesn't.

Best wishes, Thomas
