Hey guys, I just bought my first widescreen LCD. It is a BenQ FP202W.
You can see it in the link above. The problem that I'm having is that the native resolution is 1680x1050, which is way too small for me to read comfortably. Mind you that resolution works out of the box with no configuration., but I would like to lower the resolution and keep the proper aspect ratio. That would be round about 1280x800. The problem is that when I set that resolution the monitor just pops up a box that says "Non Preset Mode" I've tried every refresh rate that the monitor supports, and it gives the same message every time. I'm totally stumped. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
I have a GeForce 7600 GT using the newest stable drivers. The xorg.conf was created by nvidia-settings, and I added the modelines for the resolution that I want. As I said I tried every refresh rate the monitor supports....
Heres my xorg.conf in case you need to see it.
Anyhow I'd love to here what you guys think about this problem. And thanks in advance.
