T42 1152x864 screen resolution

[ronenj]

Hi there,

I have a new T42 with ATI Radeon mobility 7500, and I'm desperately looking for a way to get the 1152x864 screen resolution.
Neither IBM nor ATI have a posted solution for this.

Many thanks,
Ronen

There is a free program called Powerstrip that I once used for custom display settings when I was using an Apple Cinema Display with a PC. It might work to customize the display settings with your Thinkpad but I can't guarantee it. Anyway here is the link:

and here is a little explanation of what it does from PC World:

Here is an explanation of Powerstrip from PCWorld (version tracker has an updated version for download):

Thanks, I'll give this a try and let you know how it worked.

Hi Rocketman,
The Powerstrip program didn't help.
I am open for any new siggestions, I'm running out of ideas

Your 14.1" XGA LCD screen only supports a maximum of 1024x768. That's a physical limitation as there are literally only 1024x768 pixels.

I assume you are wanting to display this resolution on a 2nd monitor. If this is the case, then I think you might need to change from the IBM-ized display drivers to actual ones for ATi to be able to get that resolution on the external monitor port.

I want to display the resolution on an external monitor, sorry for not mentioning this earlier.
Is there a way for using a different driver (ATI in this matter) other than the IBM original?

Many thanks,
