T400, Acer X233H LCD Monitor, and ATISwitchable Graphics

#1 Post by xtree » Sun Nov 29, 2009 6:41 am

I installed 64Bit Windows 7 on my T400 2764-CTO. Before running W7 I used the 32bit Vista Pro Lenovo pre-load and could drive my Acer X233H monitor at 1920x1080 with Switchable Graphics enabled in BIOS. The highest resolution the native Windows 7 ATI driver would allow with this monitor was 1440x900. The Intel Integrated drivers allowed W7 to push the X233H to 1920x1080 so this is how I ran. The other day I was excited to see Lenovo published the ATI 64bit W7 drivers for the T400. I downloaded the drivers and much to my dismay I was still limited to 1440x900 driving the X233H. However after poking around I found if I hit the Force button in CCC, Desktop Properties, Mode, Settings area I could now select 1920x1080. This wasn't intuitive and I hope my find helps others with this issue..
