Anyone know if 1280x1024 is a valid resolution for the Gateway FPD1730? Yes, I know, it's old, but I'd like to know. I could have sworn it switched from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 without warning today, and now the only resolutions that are available seem completely screwed up for this monitor except 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768. For example, I now can not select 1280x1024 . . . instead I get 1024x1280. Granted I bought this used and did not mess with the available resolutions much when I got it, but still . . . 1024x1280? Shouldn't its native resolution be 1280x1024?

I tried installing a Gateway driver for the thing but it did not solve my problem.

Is there any way I can set the resolution manually by editing a text file or a registry entry? I wonder if it would flip out if I forced 1280x1024.
