Problem in geting a widescreen output out of my M115-S3094's external VGA output. (just gives me 4:3 resolutions)

[test86]

Hi,
I have a Toshiba laptop which model is M115-S3094 and has a graphic card of Intel 945 GM Express and has a widescreen monitor at 1280x800 resolution.

The problem is whenever I connect to my Widescreen TV (which as VGA port and its native resolution is 1366x768) via a VGA cable, I can't get widescreen resoloutions out of my laptop's so my output, all it gives me are 4:3 resolutions such as 1024x768 that will stretch on my widescreen tv.

I also got latest graphic drives, didn't help.

any help is appreciated.
tnx.

I connected my TV with VGA port and tried running the MoreInfo again but the results didn't change on the upper left part of the MoreInfo program, connecting my TV didin't add anything there.

I see a 1360 up there and that made me happy!

So what shall I do.

Unfortunately, that 1360 is the pixel location of the end of the sync pulse. It's not an indication of the resolution permitted. The only thing that this EDID is providing is 1280x800, which is a somewhat typical laptop screen resolution and is not the monitor you want to drive.

Can you get MonInfo to provide the EDID of the TV instead?
