qaredy353 · ‎01-13-2009

I browsed the support and fund this. But it didn't work for me.

Accelerator in Use: Intel 82945G Express Chipset Family
Video BIOS: 1215
Driver Version: 6.14.10.4926
Operating System: Windows XP* Professional, Dodatek Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)

Monitor: LG Flatron W2252S

Any help would be most appreiciated!

Many thanks in advance.

Well, that's quite useless. I did find the EDID for your monitor out in the wild someplace, and it contains two different timings for 1680x1050:

21 39 90 30 62 1A 27 40 68 B0 36 00 DA 28 11 00 00 1C

and

7C 2E 90 A0 60 1A 1E 40 30 20 36 00 DA 28 11 00 00 1A

Using either one of these with the DTDCalc utility found in the "Custom Resolutions" sticky post in this Forum should allow you to enable 1680x1050. If you have trouble following the instructions or they don't seem to be working, come back here and I'll try to help further.

Can you get a Diagnostic Report and post it? Click the Information button in the Intel Graphics Tray, and choose Save to File. Post the result.

Your new EDID is not being read. Try searching the registry for an entry called "BitBashingSupport". You should be able to modify it from the default of 00 to FF. There may be several copies; modify them all. Then try running the Diagnostics Report again.

qaredy353 · ‎01-15-2009

Thank you Aaron for getting back. I modified "BitBashingSupport" value from 00 to FF

but the report seems to be the same:

Aaron_B_Intel · ‎01-15-2009

Well, that's quite useless. I did find the EDID for your monitor out in the wild someplace, and it contains two different timings for 1680x1050:

21 39 90 30 62 1A 27 40 68 B0 36 00 DA 28 11 00 00 1C

and

7C 2E 90 A0 60 1A 1E 40 30 20 36 00 DA 28 11 00 00 1A

Using either one of these with the DTDCalc utility found in the "Custom Resolutions" sticky post in this Forum should allow you to enable 1680x1050. If you have trouble following the instructions or they don't seem to be working, come back here and I'll try to help further.

Aaron MANY THANKS! I am enjoing 1680x1050 while writing this. Thank you again.

Wow - that's exactly what I am looking for but unfortunately I have a different monitor. I share the rest of the story with qaredy353: Despite installing the driver for the chipset I couldn't choose the native resolution for my "Belinea 2230 s1w".
Is there a chance that you know the EDID for this monitor too? I tried to look it up but up to now I was unlucky and couldn't find anything useful.

Any help to solve this problem is welcome,

thx

I am also having a similar problem. Back in May of this year I reformatted my computer but my monitor was recognized prior to that incident and allowed me to display my monitor's native resolution. Now however, my monitor and computer don't seem to be communicating and the 1680 x 1050 resolution is no longer an option. I've reformatted my computer again to do my best to make sure that it wasn't a software issue that I might have developed, but it still doesn't give the correct display options. I don't see my display adapter model in this list so I might be out of luck.

I'd be ecstatic if you could find a solution for this!

Computer: HP Pavilion a1220n
Accelerator in Use: Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family
Video BIOS: Unsure
Driver Version: 6.14.10.4332
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service pack 3

Monitor: Element Flx-2210

UPDATE:
I've found and solved the problem. Between the time of purchasing my monitor and reformatting, I've replaced the VGA cable. It seems that the newer cable omitted a pin and I assume that it prevented EDID information from being passed on. I am a very happy camper!

Im having same problem.
Under linux I can use that resolution but it does not appear under WinXP. I've alreade updated the drivers that say they solve the issue (http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/cs-028886.htm ) but they dont.
