1680x1050 VGA but not DVI?
Well, in VGA mode, all is fine in Moninfo.
In digital mode, the 'Samsung 216BW in digital mode' just shows the card. The 'Samsung Monitor on Auxilary Port' - shows all of the info -- and it includes 1680x1050 - the resolution which I can't get to. In the Windows Display settings it shows this third display as "Default monitor on Nvidia Quadro NVS' and it doesn't allow me to set anything... and it is not the current monitor according to the Display Settings, the 216BW is. I did uninstall the drivers before installing the latest one... Monitor Windows description......... Samsung Monitor Manufacturer description.... SyncMaster Manufacturer................

I can adjust the color via the NVIDIA driver. Are those video card settings, or does that actually adjust the monitor? Again, there are two issues, the MagicTune and max DVI resolution... I'll see what else I can find. I replied to the Forceware not compatible with SmartTune in the nVidia forum.. no reply yet. Samsung does have the Quadro 4 NVS 200 listed on their MagicTune site -- and I had a non-Forceware driver at first. Samsung Tech Support said I should check if there is a videocard update (not firmware update)... I'm guessing firmware. nVidia's website doesn't have any..(I gather that's more manufacturer specific) I guess I'll have to pop open the box and scan for the manufacturer - but I guess that if they are hiding so well, they're not going to have much in terms of support! Thanks The color adjustment in the video driver, would be done to the graphics card and not the monitor. People do flash and change video card BIOSes, but trashing the card is probably not what you are interested in. You'd have to find a forum that specializes in such things, to determine whether the NVS 200 is a good candidate. By the way, what did the Entechtaiwan Moninfo tool report ? Did it get any info ? That would be proof that the interface works to some extent. Paul- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |

1680x1050 VGA but not DVI?
So, I removed the extra monitors... So MonInfo now only sees the one
monitor and has all the proper information with 1680x1050 max res for 'Samsung 216BW in digital mode', yet, the video driver still tells me the max is 1280x1024. |

1680x1050 VGA but not DVI?
I opened the machine and saw the IBM FRU and looked it up on IBM's
website. It is indeed the Quadro4 200 NVS. I searched IBM's website for Quadro4 and came up with a 91.36 driver, which is about 3 months newer than the latest driver on nVidia's website (even if I search for beta). It's over 2 years newer than the latest driver IBM had for my specific PC model. With this driver, MagicTuner works! I still haven't actually tuned it. By the way, the monitor OSD color and contrast settings were disabled, since I had MagicColor on -- it had nothing to do with the monitor or anything else. I still can not get about 1280x1024 DVI. (I explicitly ordered this card with the PC a few years ago, to be able to use with with a DVI monitor - which I finally just bought). If I manually add the 1680x1050 resolution to the nVidia driver, it gives a mess of a screen. Looking at the spec sheet - it doesn't list any DVI resolutions above it... but it doesn't list 1680x1024 VGA either (although it lists higher resolutions). http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...IGR-45039.html Maybe the 140 mHz clock has to do with it.. although I see others online doing that res with that max clock speed... Donno... I need to see what I will really be gaining with DVI. Just trying to see if I should go video card shopping.. I don't do gaming, so I don't need a $200 card (I see this card is now about $20). Thanks again! On Jul 28, 10:09 pm, " wrote: So, I removed the extra monitors...

Just got a Quadro4 550 XGL card from eBay to run my two LG L204WT 1680x1050 displays. It seems so lame to have such a low resolution limit on a Quadro card. I totally believe that Leadtek information which says that its simply not supported and not going to work. I'm so very frustrated after wasting half a day trying. There is a lot of contradictory information around, for example: o http://www.pny.com/products/quadro/d...xgl/550xgl.asp This page says "2048x1536 per display". I've found a few other places around on the Internet that quote this too. o http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/Q...ease_Notes.pdf These are the release notes for the latest driver supporting this chip and on page 62 it says in Table A.2 that 1680x1050 is a nonstandard mode which is supported. What a great big fat waste of time. Anyone recommend a good cheap ATi card with two DVI connectors? I like the breakout cable design of this Quadro4 550 as my case has a lip which I'd have to saw off with a hacksaw if two connectors were next to each other. -- Hussein Jodiyawalla mightymouse dot net |

Oop, didn't realise this was an nVidia group. Didn't mean to be controversial by mentioning ATi here -- Hussein Jodiyawalla mightymouse dot net |
