Creating custom screen resolutions (manually, no PS)...

[Viper GTS]

I've seen people talk about creating custom screen resolutions, such as 1400x1050 (which is what I'd like to try). How exactly is this done?

I'm running Windows Xp with a Matrox G450 dualhead & an NEC FE950+.

At least a pointer in the right direction would be helpful...

I think you have to edit a DLL or INF file that's part of the drivers... At least, that's for Dets.

i would say look in the inf files that come with your drivers, try opening them up in a hex editor and see if you can find a list of resolutions.

1) you could try this Matrox technical support tweak utility which is supposed to allow you to add custom resolutions

edit: here are release notes for utility


2) i *thought* powerstrip might allow this capability?

This old thread here has a discussion of how to do it by editing the registry. I know it works fine for the GF2 GTS.

Did you ever get this resolved?

I'm curious to know if you could get any of these suggestions to work
