Trying to get external monitor working at its native 1280x102 on my X31, I keep getting this effect where the resolution of the display is stuck at 1024x768, no matter where the slider is. If I go to 1280x1024 it enables virtual desktop on the monitor that's larger than the display itself. ATI app shows available resolution as 1280x1024, but indicates that is is running at 1024x768. Monitor driver is installed. Any ideas what am I doing wrong? This is under XP
Thanks!

You have two X31's. Do both have this problem? Are you using the latest driver, 8.133.2.1.1.1-070206a? Sometimes installing an earlier driver can fix certain issues, e.g. that was the case for my Dell D820's wireless card. I don't know how you can download older drivers though -- Dell's website has all driver versions for download but Lenovo doesn't seem to do that.

Another idea: Have you tried the Omega drivers? http://www.omegadrivers.net
